Catherine

Катерина is an excellent teacher who came very well prepared for our lesson. Even though I’m just beginning to learn Russian, she speaks as much Russian as possible during the lesson, while still being incredibly patient and supportive. She adapts effortlessly to my pace, mood, and current level of understanding, which makes learning feel very natural. I really appreciate how she puts a strong focus on areas like reading, which are hard for me to practice on my own. The lessons are not only productive but also a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to continuing this learning journey with her :)

I had another great lesson with Katya today. We covered причастия and passive forms — she explained everything clearly and made it easy to understand. As always, we also talked about many different things, which made the lesson fun and engaging. I really enjoy learning with her!

Learning Russian with Katya feels like hanging out with a super smart friend who teaches me new things in that beautiful language — all wrapped in laughter. I was surprised to realize we’ve already done 5 classes, because it feels like we’ve been doing this for months (in the best way). Highly recommend her if you want to study Russian and smile while doing it.

I had so much fun, looking forward to the next lesson :)

Sometimes, learning a language isn't just about grammar and vocabulary, but also about feeling understood and supported. With Katya, I've felt both. Her kindness, patience and genuine interest in my progress have made each class feel like a safe and happy place. After every lesson, I don't just feel smarter, but also lighter, more motivated, and happier. Thank you, Katya, see you in the next class!

After an 8-month break from learning Russian, I can genuinely feel the excitement and motivation returning. It’s like reconnecting with an old passion that I had almost forgotten. Thank you, Katya, for reigniting that spark! I really enjoy the classes, the homeworks, the talks, and the relaxed atmosphere you create.
