Nick is a very patient teacher. He would have to be, to put up with all my mistakes ! 😂 I’m in a tricky intermediate - upper intermediate transition phase whereby I want to say more than I’m capable of. Sometimes when I struggle Nick patiently tries to fill the gaps in vocabulary, and if that isn’t enough to get or keep me talking, he speaks about his own experiences which is really good for my listening. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I would definitely recommend Nick as a teacher.

Nick is a very patient and encouraging teacher. Lessons are structured, personable and fun. I’ve had a great lesson with him and I learn a lot. I am very motivated and looking forward to learning more. I highly recommend him as a teacher.

Nick provides great examples and offers explanations that allow for enhanced comprehension of the materials.

Nikita’s a fantastic teacher + tutor. His classes are well-organised but have a casual and supportive atmosphere. The material for review is always relevant and engaging and even funny (modern conversational Russian!!), and he really does adapt the content to my own strengths and weaknesses. *Very* personable too –– it feels like I’m learning Russian from a friend or a neighbour or a World of Tanks clan mate (lol). I’m looking forward to our next classes, and excited to continue my learning journey with Nik :)

I had a great first lesson with Nick. We had a brief introduction discussion, and he corrected and taught me new words/grammar via a shared Google document. We did some reading practice afterwards, and then Nick provided feedback for our next lessons. Looking forward to my future lessons -- спасибо большое!

Great at helping with pronunciation
