Hello! I'm Petr, a certified Russian and English teacher. Welcome to my page! I graduated from a linguistic university and have been teaching on Italki for 6 years. I have a wide range of interests—history, literature, sports, movies, new cultures, and travel—so we will definitely find common topics to discuss. Over the years, I've worked with students from 20 different countries and believe that language can open any door. I'm always interested in learning about different cultures, and in our lessons, we often share stories about our countries and traditions. For students studying Russian, I offer tailored lessons from A1 to C2. If you are a beginner, we will start from scratch. Russian is my mother tongue, and I'm thrilled to teach it to you! For students studying English, I offer both traditional and conversation-based lessons. My goal is to help you speak with confidence, fluency, and accuracy. Many moons ago, I worked as a journalist, so I never miss an opportunity to listen to your stories or share mine—in the language you're studying, of course. I’ve even written short stories for my students to make the learning process more engaging, and I always encourage them to do the same. Want to try? Let's do it! Personally, I prefer the communicative approach. I believe that speaking and listening are key, so we will communicate and listen to a lot of audio materials. However, we will also do a lot of reading—I believe that reading is the best way to learn new vocabulary.

I'd like to share my culture and language with you. I graduated from university as a translator. I've always been passionate about language learning, and now it's my absolute privilege and pleasure to help you learn Russian, my mother tongue. As a community tutor, I'd like to focus mostly on conversation practice, but we can also work on grammar and phonetics whenever you need it. I prefer a more relaxed, casual teaching style. Personally, I wouldn't concentrate too much on grammar, since it can be quite stressful and confusing.

Люблю делиться знаниями, обсуждать интересные темы и уверен: с таким багажом жизненных историй нам всегда будет о чём поговорить! Мое первое образование - педагогическое. Иностранные языки стали моим хобби с 2019 года, а с 2021 - я сертифицированный преподаватель TESOL... Теперь в Украине и за ее пределами помогаю гражданским и военным партнерам лучше понимать друг друга) Мое первое образование - педагогическое. Сразу после окончания школы я окончил Государственный университет по специальности "Преподаватель истории и социальных наук". Задолго до всемирного локдауна я с удовольствием для себя открыл преподавание иностранного языка онлайн и понял, что некоторым людям нравится общение и работа со мной. Свою ежедневную практику, таким образом, я превратил сначала в хобби, а потом и в оплачиваемую работу. В 2021 году оформил свой опыт в официальную сертификацию.

I believe the understanding of language's logic is significant. A country's culture and development can help to form the necessary vision. So I prefer to search for unique codes which can help improve language skills. At the same time, I will be glad to meet new people with their points of view. I am ready to help you in achieving any goals. На мой взгляд понимание логики языка очень важно, знакомство с культурой страны и её развитием может помочь в формировании этого понимания. В то же время я буду рада знакомству с любыми людьми. Я готова помочь им в изучении русского языка для достижения их целей.

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!

    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.
