Structured Russian system | From A0 to real, natural speech Hi! I'm Nastia — a Russian teacher who believes that the best way to learn a language is to actually use it. From lesson one, we speak Russian. Not "let's try a little Russian." Russian. I've studied several languages myself, so I know exactly what it feels like to stare at a grammar rule and understand nothing — and then suddenly, one day, it just clicks. I build my lessons around that moment. Every class is a mix of conversation, authentic materials (think cartoons, Russian internet slang, podcasts, songs), and structured grammar — because yes, you do need grammar, but it doesn't have to be boring. Before our first lesson, I'll send you a short questionnaire — your goals, your interests, your learning style. That's not a formality. It's how I build a course that actually fits you, not a generic syllabus. Beginners build a real foundation from day one. Intermediate learners stop translating in their heads and start thinking in Russian. Advanced students get the nuances, the cultural layer, the stuff textbooks never tell you. My lessons are in Russian — with English or Spanish when you need a lifeline. The goal isn't perfection. It's progress you can feel. If you've ever wanted to understand what Russians are actually saying — and not just in textbooks — you're in the right place.

Tutor of Ukrainian and Russian language with university experience. For adults and children. I haven’t been teaching Ukrainian and Russian as foreign languages for very long, but during this time, I have achieved a lot. I created an Instagram blog that promotes the study of Russian as a foreign language. Currently, I have over twelve thousand followers. I was hired as a Ukrainian language teacher for foreigners at one of the prestigious universities in China. Now I am actively engaged in teaching. I teach languages both in groups and individually. Recently, I have started conducting research that will form the basis of my doctoral dissertation.

русский язык для разных целей, для детей и взрослых :) I really like to make complex things simple for my students. Learning a language is like traveling to a new country, and I try to make this journey interesting and comfortable for each student. I usually use the communicative method of teaching, and during lessons, we use mostly Russian. In any lesson, I motivate students to speak as much as possible and familiarize them with the traditions and culture of Russia. If you would like to take a class with me at a different time, please message me and we can arrange a time that suits us both.

Hello! I'm Petr, a certified Russian and English teacher. Welcome to my page! I graduated from a linguistic university and have been teaching on Italki for 6 years. I have a wide range of interests—history, literature, sports, movies, new cultures, and travel—so we will definitely find common topics to discuss. Over the years, I've worked with students from 20 different countries and believe that language can open any door. I'm always interested in learning about different cultures, and in our lessons, we often share stories about our countries and traditions. For students studying Russian, I offer tailored lessons from A1 to C2. If you are a beginner, we will start from scratch. Russian is my mother tongue, and I'm thrilled to teach it to you! For students studying English, I offer both traditional and conversation-based lessons. My goal is to help you speak with confidence, fluency, and accuracy. Many moons ago, I worked as a journalist, so I never miss an opportunity to listen to your stories or share mine—in the language you're studying, of course. I’ve even written short stories for my students to make the learning process more engaging, and I always encourage them to do the same. Want to try? Let's do it! Personally, I prefer the communicative approach. I believe that speaking and listening are key, so we will communicate and listen to a lot of audio materials. However, we will also do a lot of reading—I believe that reading is the best way to learn new vocabulary.

Certified teacher with 20 years of experience I’m Anna, a certified Russian teacher with 20 years of experience and a passion for making language learning engaging. As the creator of the *Russian from Russia* YouTube channel and podcasts, I blend language with culture—sharing insights from my travels across half of Russia. Whether you need grammar mastery or lively chats, I tailor each lesson to your goals. Let’s start with a trial lesson! We’ll identify your level, interests, and a plan to make Russian both fun and effective for you. In the last 20 years, I’ve been teaching Russian as a foreign language on a daily basis, in groups and one-to-one. Today you can choose from two types of my classes: structured lessons (Russian Step-by-Step; Russian through Movies; Russian through Storytelling) or informal tutoring. When I say "structured" I mean that I've designed some programs for elementary, intermediate and advanced students of Russian and I can guide you step-by-step through Russian language acquisition. You can find more information about my courses below What is unique about my lessons? If you book my professional lessons you will have a detailed plan before each lesson. We'll use google docs during our lessons and you'll have the notes after each class: the notes with phrases and new words. I correct homeworks between the lessons, so that we could use our lesson time more productively. You can find more information about specific courses in the course descriptions.
