Anna Kozyreva

Anna is an amazing teacher. I study multiple languages and have tried a lot of private teachers. Anna is by far the most encouraging, patient, and friendly instructor I have ever had. She is always punctual, well prepared, and organized. She also has helped me outside of class time by giving me recommendations for news and shows in Russian. If you want to improve your Russian, I doubt there is a teacher better for you than Anna.

I’ve had a few lessons with Anna, both conversation and book club lessons, and have really enjoyed enjoyed them! She is incredibly intelligent and well-spoken and able to facilitate interesting and thought-provoking discussions while also taking time to offer helpful feedback—explaining herself in a way that is helpful and comprehensible for learners. Her passion for the Russian language and literature as well as for life and various topics in general is truly inspiring. Thanks Anna! I always look forward to our discussions!

Anna is a brilliant teacher and her lessons are a lot of fun! She is fun, encouraging and the conversation always interesting. I would 100% recommend learning with her!

Anna is a fantastic resource for anyone trying to learn Russian, it's evident she is passionate about the Russian language and Russian culture. I began trying to learn Russian through apps and books, however this took me only so far. We have 90 minute lessons and they go by so quickly as we spend half, if not more speaking Russian together. The remainder of the lesson we review homework and introduce a new topic of grammar. I can now actually carry on a very rudimentary conversation in Russian Whereas before I only knew a few words and couldn't really speak Russian at all. My ability listen to, speak, read and write in Russian has increased dramatically in the few months since we've begun working together. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Always a fun lesson with her. No stress.

Always patient and encouraging.
