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!

Systematic approach, well structured lessons I apply a classical, structured approach to help you master Russian. My lessons cover all 5 key components of language: listening, speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. I use modern Russian textbooks, my professional expertise, and authentic materials from Russian media to create a comprehensive learning experience. While I guide and support you throughout the process, remember: LEARNING IS NOT FREE—YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION! Your progress depends on your investment of time and effort. The more you put in, the faster and more successfully you’ll improve. My lessons are structured, clear, and engaging, using systems and visual aids. Together we make great progress in Russian!

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 prepare thoroughly my lessons, using various educational sources. There are several methods of teaching Russian as a foreign language: communicative, grammatical translation, audiovisual and etc. In my practice I apply various methods depending on student’s interests. For example, someone needs to prepare for exam or plans work in Russia, another just wants to travel, find friends and understand the Russian soul, culture and traditions. I’m ready to help anyone who has a desire to learn one of the most difficult languages.
