Learn Russian without pressure Hi there! My name is Sofia. I’m a native speaker from Saint Petersburg, but I’m currently living in the Netherlands. I love playing different RPG's and listening to melancholy British indie or American alternative rock. I'm a certified teacher of Russian as a Foreign Language, and I love helping beginners take their first steps in Russian. As a teacher, I prefer a structured approach and guide my students along a clear, well-designed path - moving from simple to complex while practicing grammar, speaking, reading and listening. Welcome to my lessons, where I'll help you see logic and patterns in this language, so you can start feeling like a master puzzle solver :)

    I was nervous to start a new language as different as Russian. Honestly it was the perfect class! I am still in shock with just how much Russian i picked up in one class! 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! You won’t regret it ❤️

    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!

    Igor is an exceptional instructor - he is able to easily combine the expert skills of a professional language instructor with the relaxed, friendly, flexible way of meeting students where they are at. I have been taking Russian language lessons from him for five years now - and have enjoyed every lesson and made steady progress. I highly recommend Igor for anyone seeking to learn or maintain Russian language skills.

    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!

    Thank you for providing so much support throughout the course. You not only gave detailed feedback on my practice exercises, but also helped me review my mistakes and identify areas for improvement. In addition, the supplementary learning materials you shared were very helpful for strengthening my understanding. Most importantly, you organized the key points that I should pay attention to, which made my learning process much clearer and more effective. I truly appreciate your guidance and dedication.

    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.

    My son has been taking lessons with Natalya for only a month now and the progress is already visible in terms of grammar and accent. But above all, he loves these classes and is looking forward to learning (what had become rare since he entered his teenage years)! Thank you so much Natalya!

If you want to learn a new language in a fun and stress-free way, I definitely recommend her. Book a lesson while she still has spots for new students.
