You will train your memory and wake up your creativity too. ❇️ Learning feels natural, not stressful. ❇️ I will help you remember words in a way that actually sticks.

Certified teacher with 20 years of experience In the last 20 years, I’ve been teaching Russian as a foreign language on a daily basis, in groups and one-to-one. Today you can choose from two types of my classes: structured lessons (Russian Step-by-Step; Russian through Movies; Russian through Storytelling) or informal tutoring. When I say "structured" I mean that I've designed some programs for elementary, intermediate and advanced students of Russian and I can guide you step-by-step through Russian language acquisition. Informal tutoring is mostly conversational practice. It can be also some assistance with proofreading, answering your questions and other tasks you need. You can find more information about my courses below

Speak Russian with Confidence | 5,000+ Lessons Taught Hello! My name is Mikhail, and I am a native Russian speaker from Russia. I have taught more than 5,000 lessons to students from all over the world. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as an electrical engineer and earned both Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Later, my passion for traveling, remote work, and meeting people from different countries led me to teaching Russian. I was born in Orenburg, lived in Saint Petersburg, spent a year and a half in Kazakhstan, and also lived in Turkey, Vietnam, and now Thailand. These experiences help me connect with students from different cultures. I teach students of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners. Many students appreciate my ability to explain difficult topics in a simple and clear way. Instead of memorizing rules, I help students understand the logic behind the Russian language and how native speakers really communicate. If you are a beginner, we will build a strong foundation step by step. If you already know some Russian, we will focus on speaking practice, vocabulary expansion, and understanding natural speech. My lessons are friendly, structured, and focused on real progress. We can discuss travel, history, culture, films, games, sports, food, and any other topics that interest you. Book a trial lesson, and let's create a learning plan that fits your goals!

English for Digital Nomads, IT Freelancers & Travelers |Science-Based I help adults who studied English for years but still freeze when they need to speak. Work calls, meetings, small talk with neighbours- that moment when your head goes empty. This is what we work on. I'm Lana, a linguist and language coach with a degree in philology and teaching. 19+ years teaching English and Russian, 2300+ lessons on italki. I taught at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, and I've lived in a lot of countries, so I know how it feels to start over in a new language. Who I work with: • IT people and freelancers who need English for calls and meetings • digital nomads and people who moved abroad • anyone who understands a lot but can't make themselves talk What my lessons look like: • exercises based on how the brain learns languages (I'm a bit obsessed with neuroscience) • my questionable hand-drawn sketches and funny analogies • a lot of speaking from day one • in the first lesson we find out what exactly stops you Learning Russian? I teach general Russian to adults too, from your first words to real conversations. Same approach: a lot of speaking, clear explanations and a bit of humour. I also love talking about art, space, books, travel and people in general, so we won't run out of topics. Bring your coffee, your overthinking, and your imperfect grammar. We'll figure the rest out together. Говорю по-русски, так что если английский пока слабый, сложные вещи объясню на русском.

I know what it’s like to learn a language. Let’s talk. Hi! I'm Nikita. I was born in Tallinn, grew up bilingual in Estonian and Russian, and now I teach both languages to others. I know what this road looks like from both sides. I grew up studying in a non-native environment, which forced me to learn quickly and taught me what actually works and what just wastes your time. I've been learning languages since I was 7, and now speak four: Estonian, Russian, English and Swedish. I've been teaching languages for the past two years, so I know where learners tend to get stuck. I teach in Russian, English or Estonian — I'll explain something in whichever language gets the point across fastest, then get you back to speaking the language you're learning. Estonian and Russian have a reputation for being impossible. They aren't. Both are beautiful and interesting languages, and once the logic clicks, they stop feeling like a wall. My lessons: You speak as much as possible. I use videos, articles and discussion questions to keep the hour interesting, and I adjust the difficulty to your level. If you're a beginner, we start slowly and build from there. If you already speak some Russian or Estonian, we work on fluency, natural phrasing and the things textbooks don't teach. Book a trial lesson and tell me what you want to achieve — I'll build a plan around it.

I’m a friendly and supportive teacher who’s passionate about helping students feel confident and make real progress. In my lessons, I focus on structure and lots of speaking practice. I use textbooks when needed, but I always tailor lessons to what my students actually need: whether that’s improving grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, or fluency. I gently correct mistakes and give clear, helpful feedback. I’ll point out grammar and pronunciation issues and introduce useful new words: all while keeping the flow of the conversation natural and engaging.

Native Russian speaker & English tutor (4+ yrs) — interactive lessons, natural conversation Hi! I'm Ekaterina! I teach two languages — English and Russian — and I specialize in helping students move from "I understand it" to "I can actually speak it." English (A1–B1, teens & young adults): Struggling to speak English confidently, even though you understand it well? - Interactive lessons built around movies, real-life topics, and visual tools - Focus on speaking from lesson one — not just grammar rules - Relaxed, judgment-free environment to build real confidence Russian (A2+ — not for complete beginners): Already know some Russian but freeze when it's time to speak? - Real conversation about movies, culture, books, everyday life - Practical, natural speaking practice — no grammar drills - A relaxed space to build fluency, not just vocabulary I've been teaching since 2022, working with students from all over the world. I'm based in Italy, where I completed my Master's degree in English — so I know first-hand what it takes to become fluent as a non-native speaker. I'm also learning Italian myself, so I understand exactly what it feels like to be stuck at a level and want to speak more freely. Book a trial lesson — in English or Russian — and let's get started!

Hi, I'm Sofia! I was born and live in Russia, so I will be happy to help you learn Russian language🇷🇺 I promise that in my classes we will immerse ourselves in learning in a relaxed manner 🤝 I love to travel, I have visited about 10 countries and I do not want to stop. I like to study the cultures of other peoples, so I will be very glad to have students from different parts of the world 🌏 I do sports, I do cheerleading and I like to shout in the stands at matches, I ride a bike and I can't stop reading and watching detective 💃🚴 I hope we will find a common language and interests, as you can see, I have a lot of them, so I will be glad to learn about yours in our class😊 I know from my own experience that regular grammar and language lessons are boring🫠 That's why in my lessons we will just communicate, discuss topics that interest you, watch funny videos and study the language at the same time 🔥🙂 Russian is not the easiest language, so it won't be easy (oh yeah, I like to speak honestly😅), but I will do everything to make the lessons exciting and interesting for you, and also useful⭐️🥇 In my lessons we will talk a lot, as this is one of the most important and difficult components of learning a language. You can learn to read and write with the help of a textbook, but only a person can help you speak 👩🏻☺️ I will not talk anymore, see you in class!💥

Patient Russian tutor: from zero to confident conversation Привет! I’m a professional Russian teacher, born and raised in Russia, but for over four years I’ve been living in sunny Portugal and learning the local language myself. So trust me, I know exactly what it’s like to wrestle with new words and grammar rules from scratch! I’ve been teaching Russian for over 5 years and have helped around 50 students survive the wild world of Russian grammar and conversation. I hold a degree in education with a diploma as a Teacher of Russian History - so you’re in safe, professional hands! My teaching style is a balanced mix: half grammar (yes, those cases!) and half conversation (because what’s the point if you can’t use it?). If you’re starting from scratch, I recommend focusing on grammar for the first few months - especially if your native language doesn’t have those lovely Russian cases. I’ve lived and worked all over Russia: from Moscow and Kaliningrad to Sochi, Kamchatka, Siberia, and Vladivostok. Plus, I’ve visited more than 30 countries, so I’m always happy to share stories and insights about life in different Russian regions and former Soviet republics.

Polish, Ukrainian & Russian Teacher | Practical Lessons for Everyday Life Hello! My name is Dina, and I’m from Ukraine. I lived in Poland for 12 years, where I studied International Relations at university. I have six years of experience teaching Polish and Ukrainian and two years of experience teaching Russian. I work with school pupils, university students and adults. My aim is to help you use the language confidently in everyday life—not only complete grammar exercises. Our lessons can focus on conversation, grammar or a combination of both. I can help you prepare for school, work and everyday conversations with friends, colleagues or neighbours. We will adapt the lessons to your level, interests and personal goals. I use a variety of materials, including books, short stories, articles and current news. We read, discuss different topics, practise useful vocabulary and work on the areas that matter most to you. I try to keep my lessons practical, lively and relaxed. Every student learns differently, so I adapt my approach to the individual. A little about me: I love cats and dogs, enjoy cooking and am always happy to have a good conversation. These interests can also give us plenty of natural topics to talk about during our lessons. I look forward to meeting you and helping you make real progress!
