Лео

I am so happy that I am finally making progress! I was stuck for so long, but Leo is extremely patient and knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve had a variety of Russian teachers, in person and online, and I would say without hesitation that Leo is the best. In fact, I myself am a language teacher, and I feel like I learn from him as a professional, too. If you want to improve, you should take his lessons!

It's been so great starting Russian from 0 with Leo. He's helped me begin to be able to read texts and translate them. He's always prepared and keeps the lesson moving nicely. I am excited to continue into next year.

Well structured, well conducted and very well eplained harder concepts of the Russian language.

I would not hesitate to recommend Leo as a teacher. He is very good at explaining grammar and vocabulary, and at the same time gives you plenty of opportunities to practise speaking and listening in lessons that are clearly well-prepared. Leo increases my motivation to learn Russian, so I will definitely continue to book lessons with him. I believe he would be very successful teaching Russian at a school or university in an English-speaking country.

Great class, really enjoyed discussing music in Russian with Leo.

It took me a while to find Leo — and I’m so glad I did. Before him, I had a few experiences with other teachers who weren’t very patient with my slow reading in Russian, which honestly left me discouraged. But Leo was different from the very start. He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but also kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in his students' progress. From one teacher to another: he’s brilliant. He even allowed me to record our lessons so I could document my Russian learning journey and share it with students (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUM783y1M4c) — that kind of openness and generosity is rare. Leo creates a space where you feel safe to try, make mistakes, and grow. I can’t recommend him enough. Book a class — you won’t regret it.
