Certified TEFL teacher with 4 years teaching experience. Living in Africa has helped me to interact with people from different countries. I have been teaching languages for about 3 years. I had a lot of international students from all over the world. I am very fun,friendly and outgoing and always encourage my students to speak as much as possible and entirely lose their fear of making a mistake (they are an essential part of learning any language!). We can do casual classes, where we mostly speak about various topics, or if you need to prepare for assessments such as IELTS and CAE, we can do speaking in the exam format. In the previous years I have prepared several students to do these exams and they all passed with flying colors.

First of all, I absolutely love my job, and I wouldn’t do anything else but teaching. I love my students, love helping them and guiding them through the world of a foreign language. Nothing can be more rewarding than seeing my students’ progress! I’m patient, energetic and cheerful. I always try to bring some humour into my lessons, because humour always helps to memorise better and to keep motivated. I encourage my students not only to LEARN the language but to actually USE it as a tool for different needs. It's never too early to start reading and watching videos on the topics which truly interest you! I know it from my own experience, and I help my students to find interesting content.

Шаг за шагом - и всё получится! Русский язык для детей и взрослых! Hi! My name is Svetlana, I am a certified Russian as a foreign language teacher for children, teenagers, and adults. I specialize in teaching children and teenagers, including complete beginners as well as bilingual students who want to maintain and develop their Russian in a foreign-language environment. In my lessons, we play, discuss, act out real-life situations, and talk about what is truly interesting for the child. I gently introduce grammar and vocabulary through natural communication, so the language becomes clear and feels natural. I am not only a teacher_ but also a mother of three children who speak four languages, including Russian at a native level. This helps me deeply understand how to support bilingual children, keep them motivated, and make learning both effective and enjoyable. I also work with adults of all levels, focusing on speaking practice, confidence, and clear understanding of the language. My lessons are practical, engaging, and adapted to each student’s goals. It’s important to me that every student feels comfortable, supported, and confident to speak and grow. A little about me: I was born in Saint Petersburg and have been living in Spain for 9 years. I am a positive and open person, I love languages, people, and my work — and I truly enjoy sharing this with my students.

I love to teach my native languages because I find it being very rewarding. I’ve started to give lessons years ago. Since then I’ve discovered a number of particularities in my mother languages I’d never paid attention to as a native speaker. Knowing that Slavic languages can be hard to learn, I try to help my students learn it more efficiently through an understanding of vocabulary and grammar. As a teacher I am flexible and can meet your needs and requirements. We can have discussions and debates, work on broadening areas of vocabulary or expand on aspects of grammar that you may be concerned with. PLEASE NOTE: I do not teach kids and teenagers. Thank you for your understanding.

Russian for Adults. Structured courses & 17 years' experience. Russian lessons should be more than isolated grammar rules and endless vocabulary lists. I offer structured Russian courses for adults who want to understand how the language works, retain what they learn, and use it confidently. I'm Irina, a professional teacher of Russian as a Foreign Language with 17 years of experience. I hold a Master's degree in Education from Tver State University and a Master's degree in Russian as a Foreign Language from the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute. I teach adults from complete beginners to advanced learners. My courses develop grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading, and pronunciation together. Each topic builds on previous knowledge, and we regularly revisit earlier material. I explain complex grammar clearly, then help you apply it in sentences, dialogues, and communication, rather than just memorizing rules. Between lessons, you can review organized materials in your personal learning space. Depending on your course, this may include exercises, flashcards, quizzes, and audio or video resources. Lessons follow a clear progression, while the pace and practice are adapted to your level, difficulties, and goals. Our first lesson focuses on your starting point and how to structure your progress. If you value thoughtful explanations, consistent practice, and a clear plan, I'd be happy to work with you.

Meeting people from all over the world inspires me. I am fluent in Russian and English, and I am learning Spanish. Please note: I currently work only with students who already have some prior knowledge or experience in Russian. Unfortunately, I’m not accepting complete beginners at this time. Из собственного опыта я знаю, что изучение языка может быть очень тяжелой работой. Поэтому я всегда поддерживаю и поощряю учеников на каждом шагу обучения. Learning a language can be challenging, and I know this from my own experience. That’s why I always support and encourage my students every step of the way. По моему мнению, самый эффективный способ развития навыков говорения- это беседа. На наших занятиях посредством общения на интересующие темы мы будем работать над произношением, грамматикой и увеличением словарного запаса. I believe that the most effective way to improve speaking skills is through conversation. By discussing various topics, we will work on pronunciation and grammar while also expanding vocabulary.

    Katya is a wonderful Russian teacher! She uses her own materials, which are divided into vocabulary sets, reading, grammar, and audio/writing. What I sincerely appreciate about her teaching is that her lessons are very structured, so you not only know what you should do to improve but also how to do it! She gives ample feedback on speaking and writing, but balances it well so you do not feel overwhelmed by the number of mistakes you are making while building the confidence to speak Russian at the same time. I enjoy every single one of our lessons and conversations together! Thanks to her, learning Russian has been less overwhelming for me now, more of a fun hobby to pursue. Highly recommend her! :)

    Polina is an exceptional language instructor. I usually struggle to learn languages, but she skillfully guided me through Russian grammar to get me ready for a big trip. Thanks to her patience and clear lessons, I am leaving with confidence to navigate a month-long journey through a very remote region. I am so grateful for her help and guidance. Her style is to provide resources and structure that you can always return to when you've forgotten materials from past lessons. Very handy. I've had several language instructors in a couple of different languages and Polina is by far the best tutor I've ever met. THANK YOU POLINA! Highly recommended!

    It’s always such immense pleasure to have natural, intellectually engaging, and spontaneous conversations every week with Dariya, who seems to have read or become intimately familiar with every major work of literature in and out of Russia. Our discussions dive into immersive discussions of daily life, books, history, and culture that leave plenty of room for self-reflection and opportunities to identify and work on gaps in my knowledge of Russian. She’s such a wonderful, deeply experienced, patient and astute teacher who helps you practice Russian as effectively as possible.

    I’m a native English speaker learning Russian, and I’ve had about 12 lessons with Dustin so far. I’m genuinely impressed with the progress I’ve made, and it’s all thanks to him. His knowledge of both the Russian language and culture is outstanding, and he has a real talent for explaining even the most challenging concepts in a way that makes them click. Russian grammar can be incredibly tricky, and it’s easy to get frustrated, but Dustin is patient, encouraging, and makes everything much easier to understand. Every lesson is engaging, well-structured, and enjoyable. He has made learning Russian faster, easier, and a lot more fun. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional Russian tutor.

Frequently asked questions

What does an online Russian teacher teach?

Studying with an online Russian tutor is a great way to improve your Russian language speaking and comprehension skills. It is also one of the most efficient ways to study a foreign language.
On italki, you will find more than 1000 online teachers and Russian tutors at affordable rates. Each teacher has their teaching style, routine, or materials they use. But one of the main advantages of hiring a private Russian teacher is that they will completely adapt their teaching plan and lessons to you. This means that instead of studying a pre-defined curriculum and spending your time repeating vocabulary and grammar that you already know, you'll focus exactly on the language points you need to improve and you'll start improving from your first private lesson! No more doing redundant exercises or repeating after the class: studying Russian with a private tutor is much more practical and time-effective.
However, keep in mind that some of our teachers specialize in certain fields of Russian language studies. For example, Russian teachers who are doing exam preparation will teach you how to prepare and pass the TORFL. Their goal is to cover all the grammar points and vocabulary required to pass the test. They are more experienced with preparing students for the exam than the teachers who teach general language lessons. On italki, you will also find hundreds of business Russian teachers. They usually teach business vocabulary and they work with business language study materials and textbooks. They are more experienced with training students for job interviews, business meetings, and preparing presentations in Russian. An online business Russian teacher can either teach using business textbooks or using situational language training, where you will practice conversational vocabulary and grammar used in real-life situations and business meetings.
On the other hand, online Russian teachers and tutors who teach general lessons follow a different curriculum than their colleagues teaching exam preparation and business language. The general lessons are aimed at developing an initial competence of the language or at improving language command in all communicative contexts. On italki, you will find experienced Russian tutors who can teach all levels: from A1 to C2.
Russian teachers in A1 and A2 levels, teach students how to satisfy their elementary communicative needs in a limited number of everyday situations. In B1 and B2 levels, teachers focus on building up students’ vocabulary and grammar to use in everyday, cultural, educational, and professional spheres. Russian teachers who teach C1 levels use grammar and vocabulary that are genuinely more complex. They also need to provide opportunities for their students to review content and grammar points from old lessons and to make sure that their students have mastered all the material from levels B1 and B2.

Are there any online tutors for the Russian language?

Nowadays it's easy to find experienced Russian tutors online. For example, on italki, you can choose from more than 1,000 Russian language trainers! Some of our Russian teachers have extensive experience and professional teaching diplomas. Others strive as community tutors and teach conversational Russian for all levels.
Regardless of your current language level, you will find that there are plenty of advantages in studying with an online Russian teacher compared to enrolling in a traditional language course. First of all, your private tutor will design a tailor-made lesson plan adapted to your needs and learning goals. No matter if you want to satisfy your main communicative needs in everyday life, or you seek to learn business Russian or even achieve a language competence close to a native Russian speaker; your online teacher will teach exactly what you need. They can focus on your language drawbacks and help you work upon them. Moreover, working with a private teacher will raise your morale and motivation, as your teacher will always follow your progress and encourage you along the way!

Is it possible to find a Russian teacher online?

Nowadays, it's really easy to find a Russian teacher online. But this big choice of online Russian tutors makes the decision-making process difficult. There are many factors that you must keep in mind while looking for the best online Russian teacher for you. First, ask for their experience in teaching Russian as a foreign language. Being a native Russian speaker is not a guarantee of being a good teacher. You should study with an online Russian teacher who has teaching skills and experience. Experienced teachers are usually more effective in increasing achievement and helping their students improve than less experienced teachers. Second, do not underestimate the personal element when you study online. You may take online lessons and not meet your teacher personally, but their interpersonal skills and communication are as important for your learning process as if you were taking in-person lessons. You should like your online Russian teacher and get along well with them. And finally, take into consideration the teacher's fees per lesson. You will discover that there may be big differences in lesson prices from one teacher to another. Sometimes this depends on the website you use to connect with the online teacher, but in most cases, it simply depends on each teacher. Online Russian lessons' fees vary a lot depending on the teacher's background and on the lesson types. General and conversational Russian lessons are usually cheaper than business and TORFL preparation lessons. Also, native Russian teachers tend to charge more than non-native teachers. Choosing between a native or a non-native teacher is an important choice, but don't forget that being a native speaker doesn't always rhyme with being a good teacher. Always consider their teaching experience first.

Which is the best way to learn Russian?

The best way to learn Russian is with the help of an experienced private Russian teacher. On italki, you can book 1-on-1 language lessons with Russian teachers and tutors for as little as $10 per class. Learning with a professional language teacher will help you improve your language level much faster compared to learning in traditional language courses together with other students. A private Russian teacher will guide you through each lesson and explain all grammar points and vocabulary in much detail. Their teaching pace is adapted to your learning routine, personal schedule, and current language level. Studying with a private Russian tutor will also raise your motivation and help you gain confidence and more commitment to learning the Russian language. Your private Russian teacher will answer all your questions and clear your doubts about grammar, pronunciation, or writing in Russian. Studying with a professional language teacher will also be very helpful to your speaking skills because you'll have a language partner to constantly communicate with.

If you are interested in learning Russian, you can join thousands of like-minded language students at italki.com. At italki, we help you connect with native and non-native Russian teachers for one-on-one lessons online. With us, you will start learning Russian at your pace and according to your needs. Choose one of our Russian teachers and become fluent in the language regardless of your location and age.

How much does it cost to hire an Russian language tutor?

The cost of hiring an online Russian teacher on italki varies depending on different factors such as their experience, expertise, the lesson's type, or the total number of lessons booked.
For instance, the average price for a 45-minute Russian lesson on italki is $10 only! The cost of a 60-minute lesson with a professional Russian tutor will range from $12 to $15. Similarly, a 60-minute lesson with a Russian tutor will range from just $8 to $10.
