I want to honestly speak about my experience with this tutor, and my experience. Throughout our lessons, I felt as though I had to take initiative. Each lesson began with him talking for a while completely unrelated to Russian, and I would have to redirect it into something more productive so that I can at least learn some Russian from what he was telling me. I mainly took conversation classes, but most of our conversations would be in English, yet I always push for us to speak more in Russian. Im intermediate, not a beginner. It felt as though he was practicing his English with me. I thought this would start changing, but it hasn't, even though he's aware of this. The final straw happened when I mistakenly called the tutor by a different, yet similar similar name. He went off about how disrespectful it was, even though it was only an accident. I was always respectful and polite with him. He then demanded that we no longer continue our lessons because of that.

Very good and very nice 👍

Always a pleasure learning with Muslim. He is happy to work with me to deliver the lesson that will be best for my learning.

It's been a pleasure taking Russian lessons with Muslim so far! The lessons and conversations are always very productive and interesting.

First trial lesson with Muslim. I had sent him a note in advance with specific guidelines that I was looking for, and he was eager to get going on it right away. He had a great attitude and was very quick to adjust with feedback in real time with respect to instruction method and content, and seems quite self-aware which I believe is an important quality for a teacher. I look forward to the next lesson.

Muslim is the best teacher I've had on iTalki. He is always willing to adjust to my level and conform to what I want the lesson to look like. Even when I'm not too sure what I want to do, he has materials ready that we can practice on right at my level (A2). He is kind and always leaves me feeling happy and motivated for my next lesson. I'd recommend him to anyone.
