Evgeniya

Yevgeniya is a fantastic teacher. She assigns great pre lesson assignments and then works hard the whole lesson. I worked hard for 90 minutes, and when it was done I didn’t want the lesson to end! She’s just wonderful.

This was another truly inspiring lesson with Evgeniya. Learning Russina through great Russian literature, poems, Russian customs and holidays - and jokes! I always look forward to my lessons with Evgeniya and thsi was no exception. I now look forward ot the next one and only wish I had the time to do more than one a week.

Such a pleasure to do lessosn with Evgenia. This time we continued with a few Russian haiku and charged into Tatiana's letter to Onegin (Pushkin), I feel progress is geometric

Indeed it was another highly enjoyable lesson and I like how each lesson is different but still very inspiring. From the high literature of Pushkin and smart little haikus from all over Russia, to a peasant trying to impress his "Businessman" brother and a young wolf becoming vegetarian! Once again, the time just passed and caught me by surprise...With every single lesson I feel I have learned a little more of Russian language and culture, thanks to Evgenia's elegant guidance.

I feel our lessons are progressing into quite a sophisticated area. Today we went over the middle part of Pushkin's "Tatiana's letter to Eugene Onegin" and continued reviewing some Russian haikus. Although I am not yet totally easy with the language, (especially 19th century idiom) I feel that this is university-level stuff and it keeps me engaged, interested and looking forward to the next lesson.

Another extraordinary lesson with Yevgeniya, during which I taxed her patience with Russian haiku. But we also went through Easter customs, wishes and egg painting. I'm looking forward to the next one where we will look at Tatiana's letter to Evgeniy Onegin, standard reading for Russian schoolchildren.
