Russian Tutor | Speaking Practice & Pronunciation Hi! My name is Anastasia. I help students feel more confident speaking Russian through conversation practice, pronunciation work, and real-life Russian — so you can actually use the language in real conversations, not just understand it from a textbook. I believe learning should be structured and effective, but also comfortable. You can make mistakes, ask questions, and gradually become more confident without the pressure. I have around 7 years of professional experience in business, including marketing, HR, operations, and working directly with executives. So if you need Russian for work, we can practice real-life situations such as job interviews, meetings, workplace conversations, and communicating with colleagues and managers. What are lessons like? In a conversation lesson, we usually start with a short warm-up and some pronunciation practice. Then we work with an article, dialogue, video, or another topic you find interesting, and spend most of the lesson actually speaking Russian. If you need more structured grammar practice, we can also work with a textbook and exercises, with optional homework to reinforce what we've covered. I explain difficult points clearly and give you detailed feedback. Ready to start speaking Russian? In our first lesson, we’ll talk about your goals and the difficulties you’re having, and do some speaking practice together to see what would be most useful for you to work on.

No studying, no stress… just Russian that somehow makes sense 😄 Hi! I’m Sveta, a native Russian teacher and a content creator from Moscow 👋 I run a channel with lots of fun, useful comprehensible input to help you keep improving between lessons. Fun fact: Russian is the only language I learned fully naturally. First I understood it, then spoke it, and only much later realized grammar exists 😄 That’s why it’s the only language I speak 100% intuitively, and that’s exactly what I want for your Russian too. I teach through acquisition, using comprehensible input (CI) inspired by ALG. No grammar, no stress. Beginners: In our first lesson, I can speak English, Spanish, or Italian to discuss your goals and explain my method. After that, we’ll start using cross-talk, a stress-free and very effective method where you can speak a language I understand (English, Spanish, Italian, German, or Malayalam) while I speak Russian. You’ll start understanding from day one. Intermediate and advanced: We focus on natural conversation to help you sound more fluent and confident. Lessons can be recorded on request. If you want Russian to finally start making sense and feel natural, come try a lesson 🙂

⭐⭐⭐ Bilingual English & Russian Tutor - Let's enjoy a great conversation! I moved to Canada 🇨🇦 as an international student and later lived as an expat in Hong Kong 🇭🇰, so I know what it's like to start over in a new place.

As a tutor, I'll push you (gently!) to express yourself in English/Russian in a nuanced way, help you find the words when you're stuck, and create a space where mistakes are part of the process! When you're relaxed, you absorb so much more 🌱 Lessons are flexible and built around you 🎯 We can work on everyday conversations, travel, professional language, or just talk about whatever you're into. Progress and consistency matter more than perfection ✨ Here are a few of my favourite conversation topics: 🗺️ Travel 📚 Books 🎬 Movies & TV shows 🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga 🧠 Psychology 🪡 Cross-stitching 🏂🏻 Snowboarding Think of it less like a class and more like a chat with a friend ☕ Can't wait to meet you!

I prefer to use the communicative method as the main method in my classes. What is more, I constantly encourage my students to continue practising language outside our classes, looking for opportunities to interact with the language environment through speaking, reading, as well as independently enrich their vocabulary through self-study programs. I can find the individual approach to everyone depending on their goals and needs.

I love to teach my native languages because I find it being very rewarding. I’ve started to give lessons years ago. Since then I’ve discovered a number of particularities in my mother languages I’d never paid attention to as a native speaker. Knowing that Slavic languages can be hard to learn, I try to help my students learn it more efficiently through an understanding of vocabulary and grammar. As a teacher I am flexible and can meet your needs and requirements. We can have discussions and debates, work on broadening areas of vocabulary or expand on aspects of grammar that you may be concerned with. PLEASE NOTE: I do not teach kids and teenagers. Thank you for your understanding.

I am a very patient and passionate tutor, and I find great satisfaction in seeing my students reach their goals. I am highly flexible and adapt all lessons to my students' interests, needs, goals, and wishes. I love hearing feedback from my students and constantly strive to improve. I always create a friendly, comfortable, and encouraging atmosphere in my lessons, so my students never hesitate to ask me anything, no matter how trivial or stupid it may seem to them. I prefer to explain every detail about the language they are interested in. It's important to understand WHY you say something, not just say it because your teacher told you to.

    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!
