I’ve just finished my first 5 lesson package with Irina learning Russian. She is an extremely encouraging teacher and easy to learn with. She’s patient and we have a great time every lesson. I’ve already purchased another lesson pack and will continue to learn with Irina.

Irina is a great teacher! She is very organized, well-educated in grammar and linguistics, and she immerses you in the language as much as possible by teaching in Russian and encouraging the student to practice speaking in Russian. When she needs to explain something in English, she does so very clearly, as her English is very good. She reminds me of an excellent teacher I had in college for French, where I learned a lot. I would highly recommend her as a teacher!

Irina was professional, friendly, and very helpful during our first lesson. She was also flexible with our lesson plan as I’m still very new to the language. We discussed a learning plan suited to my language goals, and I was very happy with the lesson she taught. Would definitely recommend!

She offers so many great resources to her students! Quizlets, grammar and speaking exercises, self-made podcasts, and more! She keeps notes of each lesson which is extremely helpful to reference afterwards as well! I am not at all nervous to speak Russian and make mistakes. I really appreciate her teaching style and learning materials! 5 stars!

I had a conversation lesson with Irina, and it went great. She was easy to talk to, and did a good job with explanations. I'm a visual learner, so she typed out everything I said, which was a great help to me.

Great teaching style!
