I know everyone writes about how amazing their teacher is, and I'm no exception - Lera is an amazing teacher. The lessons never get boring, and we can talk about absolutely anything, from deep philosophical questions to the most random topics. Honestly, it doesn't even feel like learning anymore; it's like just hanging out and communicating through the Russian language. In your face, Italki, deal with it!

I always look forward to my lessons with Lera. She is a phenomenal teacher, and her classes are never boring. We discuss interesting themes that she selects while she adds comments and corrections to the chat. I find her diction easy to understand without feeling like she's oversimplifying her sentence structure or speaking unnaturally slowly.

Lera is one of my favourite Russian teachers because she is extremely polite, and is able to participate in different and engaging conversations about a whole range of topics. There are no awkward silence periods. She is also enthusiastic about teaching languages and encourages me to speak. I have developed more confidence as a result, I am not so apprehensive anymore. I know that I still make some mistakes but if I keep making the same or similar mistakes that's when I get corrected (and very politely). It feels good to get just the right amount of feedback, not to be overcorrected (but also not undercorrected) in the beginning as then I am not so afraid or reluctant to say something. I think this is the best approach or method. Thank you very much, I appreciate it! 👏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻

I absolutely love my lessons with Lera! It’s always super cozy and fun, and the atmosphere is so relaxed. She’s very spontaneous, easygoing, and the conversations never feel forced. Every lesson flies by and leaves me feeling motivated. I always look forward to our classes — highly, highly recommended!

Lera is an excellent teacher. She makes one feel so comfortable that learning becomes an enjoyable journey during which fear of making mistakes completely disappear.

Es ist jedesmal ein Vergnügen, mit Lera Russisch zu lernen. Wir haben intelligente Gespräche über interessante Themen. Alle meine Fehler bekomme ich sofort und genau verbessert. Es fühlt sich aber gar nicht an wie Unterricht, sondern wie echtes Leben. Leichter kann man wohl kaum lernen.
