Irina

Irene is a phenomenal instructor and coach! I've taken many lessons with her and I keep coming back to her because I am always better at the end than when I started. We have good conversations, she gives great explanations when needed, encourages me (in a great way) to not switch to English as my own crutch, goes over new words and phrases, and is very positive and excited to teach. I'll keep studying with her and I recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their Russian!

Irina gets me speaking more than any other teacher does which helps build my confidence.

When I began learning Russian with Irina, I started almost from zero (I was familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet, but that was it). Fast-forward a few years, and now I'm almost fluent, and native Russian speakers compliment me all the time about how good my Russian is. Make no mistake, Russian is still a difficult language to master. But with Irina as my teacher, the journey to fluency was fun and as easy as it can be, and I managed to stay motivated all the way through. Highly recommended!

Назад на будиши!

We had a very fun lesson today! Time passes quickly when we have fun and I wish that I had more time to learn with Irina!

I am not the best student, but Irina is very patient with helping me. I also like how we have fun so learning is not stressful! Lots of laughs and good resources all around.
