My name is Ekaterina, I’m 32 years old, and I’m a Russian language teacher. I’m an open-minded, positive, and friendly person with a good sense of humor 😊
I currently live between Sochi and Munich. Before that, I lived near Lake Baikal — the deepest and one of the cleanest lakes in the world, located in Eastern Siberia.
I have many hobbies: traveling, photography, playing the guitar, learning Serbian, reading classical literature, listening to rock music, and going for long walks. And most importantly — I truly love the Russian language!
Besides Russian, I speak English, German, and Serbian, so even if you're a complete beginner, we will easily find a way to communicate.Ik als leerkracht
I have a background in journalism and linguistics, with a specialization in teaching Russian as a foreign language. I studied at the Higher School of Economics, one of the leading universities in Russia.
With over 8 years of teaching experience, I have worked with students of all ages (from 6 to 85), different nationalities, and all levels (from complete beginners to advanced learners).
Creating a friendly and supportive atmosphere is very important to me. Your goals always come first, so each lesson is based on an individual learning plan, using a variety of materials and resources. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My goal is to help you start speaking Russian as quickly as possible. I explain even complex topics in a simple and engaging way.
Using different skills helps you learn faster, so in our lessons we will speak, listen, read, and write — always adapted to your needs and preferences.
Everyone is welcome, but motivated students who truly want to make progress are especially appreciated.
I care about your results and will support you at every step.
✨ Looking forward to meeting you!Mijn lesmateriaal

Opleiding
2020 - 2022
Master - LinguisticsI got my master's degree in the Higher School of Economics (Moscow) - one of the best universities in Russia. My specialty: teaching Russian as a foreign language.
2011 - 2015
Bachelor’s - Philology (Journalism)I graduated from Irkutsk State University. The degree in journalism, which I received with distinction, helped me to study the grammar of the Russian and English languages at a high level and become more creative. Thus, in addition to having a strong command of the languages, I can also explain it to my students in an easy and interesting way.

In recent years I have been working mainly online, so I am very skilled at teaching remotely (but I'm also happy to teach in person). I know many different resources and can effectively present information even outside the classroom.

I have been learning Russian for the past 3 years and I am so happy to have found Katya, as she is an absolutely incredible Russian tutor. Her knowledge and teaching style is vast and interesting and she is very easy to practice my Russian conversational skills with. I strongly recommend her for any level, whether you are a beginner or already advanced. She is always prepared with an interesting topic and/or lesson plan and she makes learning russian very fun!

Kata has been very encouraging and helpful in my Russian learning. The language can be very complicated and difficult, but Kata can break things down into manageable parts and has a wealth of patience for those like myself who make the same mistakes several times and need frequent reminders. I highly recommend Kata to anyone interested in beginning or continuing to study Russian.
