русский язык для разных целей, для детей и взрослых :) I really like to make complex things simple for my students. Learning a language is like traveling to a new country, and I try to make this journey interesting and comfortable for each student. I usually use the communicative method of teaching, and during lessons, we use mostly Russian. In any lesson, I motivate students to speak as much as possible and familiarize them with the traditions and culture of Russia. If you would like to take a class with me at a different time, please message me and we can arrange a time that suits us both.

Поэтому некоторое время назад я начал готовиться к преподаванию русского и испанского языков. Я выяснил какие существуют методики преподавания, каковы их преимущества и недостатки. В итоге выбрал те, что считаются наиболее современными, живыми и эффективными, а также интересными для учеников. Также я подобрал необходимые современные учебные материалы, книги, рабочие тетради, аудио и видео к ним.

I started teaching as a volunteer during my degree program. Foreign students came to our university to learn Russian. Furthermore, I gave private lessons at my home town. In 2018 I moved to Italy and continued to teach adults and children. Свою преподавательскую деятельность я начала еще в университете в роли волонтера. Студенты из разных стран приезжали на курсы русского языка. Далее я начала давать частные уроки на дому в своем городе. А в 2018 году я переехала в Италию продолжая преподавать для взрослых и детей.

Experienced Russian teacher — start speaking from the first lesson! For me, being a language teacher is a blessing — it's like walking around your hometown with a friend who visits occasionally, or maybe is here for the first time. So I'm showing all of the sights, all of the hidden gems that only locals know, and my personal favorites. But I'm also exploring it again and again every single time I go on one of these walks. Come with me—I’ll show you around the beautiful city that is the Russian language.

A friendly and talkative teacher of Russian and Japanese:) I have many students off-line, and we enjoy a conversation class. I want my students to spend a great time while learning, not only to get some new information, but also to release some stress from work and have a lot of of positive emotions. Also what I consider important is to help students learn some new vocabulary during the class, as I think it can be the most difficult part when you struggle with language learning. So I suggest to learn new words and practice them immediately by using those words during the class in different forms.

As a teacher I find important the conversational part of the lessons since sometimes it's the only time when the person can practice the language and not being afraid of doing mistakes. Also for me it's interesting to include in the lessons some cultural things, the explanations of the word's forms, some russian gestures and so on. My duty is also to organize your constant passive studying out of the class))

I am a friendly tutor with a degree in pedagogy who loves coffee and pets:) I have been on italki for almost five years now. I had plenty of teaching experience prior to this, but now I feel even more confident about teaching Russian as a foreign language. I have students with different backgrounds, goals and interests. I actually really enjoy teaching Russian and helping people learn this amazing language. It is easy for me to get along with my students and make sure they feel comfortable and see their progress from the very first lesson. I have over 10 years of experience in teaching, both offline and online. I have a degree in pedagogy, too. Now I also have over three year of experience teaching Russian on italki! All of my students enjoy the classes and are on their way to speak Russian fluently :) I like to keep things simple (although it's not easy when it comes to Russian). Conversational practice lessons will be tailored for you according to your needs and interests. For the general Russian lessons I will provide you with PDF textbooks which you can refer to after the class. I encourage my students to use everything they learn right away. And I am happy to answer any questions related to the language and our classes. It is preffered that the student prepares a short introduction about him/herself before our first class and states his or her goals and expectations for the learning process. I usually give my students homework but it is not compulsary.

    Katya is a wonderful Russian teacher! She uses her own materials, which are divided into vocabulary sets, reading, grammar, and audio/writing. What I sincerely appreciate about her teaching is that her lessons are very structured, so you not only know what you should do to improve but also how to do it! She gives ample feedback on speaking and writing, but balances it well so you do not feel overwhelmed by the number of mistakes you are making while building the confidence to speak Russian at the same time. I enjoy every single one of our lessons and conversations together! Thanks to her, learning Russian has been less overwhelming for me now, more of a fun hobby to pursue. Highly recommend her! :)

It was a calm and comfortable environment with absolutely no judgement. I am already looking forward to my next class! I would highly recommend Nata to anyone starting Russian- please book with her!

    Alisa is a fantastic teacher for anyone starting out with Russian! She does a brilliant job breaking down complex beginner grammar into simple, practical steps, and she gets you speaking right from day one. Her lessons balance structured grammar explanations with active conversation practice, making the learning process engaging and far less intimidating. She is incredibly patient, supportive, and always adapts the pace to fit my needs. Thanks to her guidance, my confidence in speaking Russian and understanding basic conversation has grown tremendously. If you are looking for a dedicated, encouraging tutor to build a strong foundation in Russian, I highly recommend booking a lesson with Alisa!

    Polina is an exceptional language instructor. I usually struggle to learn languages, but she skillfully guided me through Russian grammar to get me ready for a big trip. Thanks to her patience and clear lessons, I am leaving with confidence to navigate a month-long journey through a very remote region. I am so grateful for her help and guidance. Her style is to provide resources and structure that you can always return to when you've forgotten materials from past lessons. Very handy. I've had several language instructors in a couple of different languages and Polina is by far the best tutor I've ever met. THANK YOU POLINA! Highly recommended!

    I’m a native English speaker learning Russian, and I’ve had about 12 lessons with Dustin so far. I’m genuinely impressed with the progress I’ve made, and it’s all thanks to him. His knowledge of both the Russian language and culture is outstanding, and he has a real talent for explaining even the most challenging concepts in a way that makes them click. Russian grammar can be incredibly tricky, and it’s easy to get frustrated, but Dustin is patient, encouraging, and makes everything much easier to understand. Every lesson is engaging, well-structured, and enjoyable. He has made learning Russian faster, easier, and a lot more fun. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional Russian tutor.
