Russian for all levels: from first words to confident conversations about books, life & travel 🌍 Hi everyone! ☀️ I’m Nadya, from Belarus. I’ve been teaching Russian for about ten years, helping beginners get started and more experienced learners build their vocabulary and feel more comfortable speaking. Whether you struggle to find the right words, want to connect with family and friends, or explore Russian culture, we’ll focus on what matters to you. Here’s what we can work on together: ✅ If you’re starting from scratch: we’ll learn to read, work on pronunciation, and practise simple conversations for everyday life. ✅ If you already speak some Russian: we’ll talk about familiar situations, work through grammar, and help you express your thoughts more clearly. ✅ If you’re a confident speaker: we’ll explore topics like life, culture, and society while expanding your vocabulary. I especially love literature! If you enjoy stories, poems, and discussing characters and their choices, we can make that part of our lessons 📚 Every lesson is adapted to your level and interests. We can focus on conversation or spend more time on grammar, reading, and pronunciation. I’m learning French myself, so I know how challenging speaking another language can be. You’re welcome to ask questions, take your time, and make mistakes. I’m here to help 😉 In our trial lesson, we’ll get to know each other, discuss your goals, and decide where to start. Send me a message and tell me why you’re learning Russian and what you find most challenging. I look forward to meeting you!

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Through Real Conversations & Culture Hi! My name is Lina, and I am a native Ukrainian speaker from Ukraine 🇺🇦 I help learners feel more confident speaking Ukrainian through real conversations, practical vocabulary, and a friendly, supportive atmosphere. I know how difficult it can be to start speaking a new language. That’s why my lessons are relaxed and tailored to your goals. Mistakes are welcome — they are a natural part of learning and help you improve. In our lessons, we practice Ukrainian through: • everyday conversations on topics that interest you • vocabulary building with personalized word lists • reading and discussing short texts • cultural materials such as Ukrainian literature, art, films, and presentations about writers and artists • speaking practice based on real-life situations • and, when needed, a smooth transition from Russian to Ukrainian I like to keep lessons friendly and easy-going, where you feel comfortable talking, laughing, and expressing yourself without pressure — while still making real progress. Whether you want to improve your conversational skills, expand your vocabulary, explore Ukrainian culture, or transition from Russian to Ukrainian, I’d be happy to help 🌿

A friendly and talkative teacher of Russian and Japanese:) I have many students off-line, and we enjoy a conversation class. I want my students to spend a great time while learning, not only to get some new information, but also to release some stress from work and have a lot of of positive emotions. Also what I consider important is to help students learn some new vocabulary during the class, as I think it can be the most difficult part when you struggle with language learning. So I suggest to learn new words and practice them immediately by using those words during the class in different forms.

Certified teacher with over 17 years of teaching experience Hi everyone, My name is Marie, and I’ve been teaching Swedish, English and Russian since 2009. I am a professional teacher and I have a TEFL/TESOL certification. I previously worked as a university teacher and at several language schools. Currently, I ​teach online and also work as an editor. I use professional educational materials and I have experience of working with students of different ages. I can help you prepare for an exam in Swedish, such as YKI. I'm friendly, flexible and very patient. I like discussing various topics such as music, films, food, technologies, traveling, culture, etc. I'm good at explaining grammar, so you can ask me any questions about that. I prefer not to push but to inspire, and individual approach is my main principle. I let the students study at their own pace, and I always try to find the best way to help them achieve their goals. I'm happy to see how my lessons help my students to travel, to communicate with their family members, to find work in another country, to get another citizenship, etc. I also hope I can help people from different countries understand each other better. My teaching style is a combination of books and speaking practice. Sometimes, if it's reasonable, I also use videos and articles. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please don't hesitate to tell me. So, if you decide to take my lessons, I’ll be happy to help you learn Swedish, English or Russian. Good luck with your studies!

Whatever your level, I'll help you get there, backed with 13+ years of Russian teaching experience Hello! I’m a Russian language teacher, and for more than a decade, I’ve had the pleasure of helping students turn Russian from a language they’re learning into a language they can actually use. I’ve been teaching since 2013, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than seeing a student gain the confidence to speak Russian for the first time. I’ve worked with students from different backgrounds and at different levels, including complete beginners who were starting from zero. One of my favorite teaching moments was helping a complete beginner start speaking simple Russian within just a few weeks. Seeing a student go from “I don’t understand anything” to having their first real conversation is one of the best parts of teaching for me. My lessons are practical, engaging, and built around real communication. I don’t want you to spend the whole lesson memorizing grammar rules and wondering when you’ll actually use them. We’ll speak, listen, learn useful vocabulary, work on pronunciation, and use grammar in a way that makes sense. I also believe lessons should feel comfortable and enjoyable. I adapt my teaching to your level, goals, and pace, whether you’re learning Russian for travel, work, study, everyday conversations, or simply because you love the language. If you’re ready to improve your Russian, I’d be happy to guide you through the process and help you build the confidence and skills you need to communicate effectively.

Speak Russian from zero | Structured, friendly lessons I am a professional Russian teacher with a strong background in linguistics and teaching. I have completed formal training in teaching Russian as a foreign language, including TORFL exam preparation. This allows me to explain even complex grammar in a clear, structured, and easy-to-understand way, and to help students prepare effectively for their goals.

Patient Russian tutor: from zero to confident conversation Привет! I’m a professional Russian teacher, born and raised in Russia, but for over four years I’ve been living in sunny Portugal and learning the local language myself. So trust me, I know exactly what it’s like to wrestle with new words and grammar rules from scratch! I’ve been teaching Russian for over 5 years and have helped around 50 students survive the wild world of Russian grammar and conversation. I hold a degree in education with a diploma as a Teacher of Russian History - so you’re in safe, professional hands! My teaching style is a balanced mix: half grammar (yes, those cases!) and half conversation (because what’s the point if you can’t use it?). If you’re starting from scratch, I recommend focusing on grammar for the first few months - especially if your native language doesn’t have those lovely Russian cases. I’ve lived and worked all over Russia: from Moscow and Kaliningrad to Sochi, Kamchatka, Siberia, and Vladivostok. Plus, I’ve visited more than 30 countries, so I’m always happy to share stories and insights about life in different Russian regions and former Soviet republics.

I want to help you achieve your goals. I am patient and understanding. Our lessons will be like chatting with a friend. I am a language student myself, so I understand the difficulties you may deal with.

Communicative lessons, courses, podcast for A1–B1 learners My teaching is built on three key principles. 1. Clear and open communication I see our work as a partnership. We regularly review your progress, discuss what feels easy or challenging, and adjust the lessons accordingly. This helps us stay focused and move forward with confidence. 2. Goal-oriented learning Your goals shape every lesson. Whether you want to speak more freely, improve listening, or build a strong foundation, I design each class with clear objectives and practical outcomes in mind. 3. Supportive and realistic approach I create a calm and encouraging environment where mistakes are part of the process, and doubts don’t stop your progress.

Curious & patient – let's talk freely, correct gently. Hi, I’m Robert. If you’re tired of rigid grammar drills and want to actually talk, you’ve come to the right place. I’m a patient, friendly tutor who focuses 90% on actual conversation. I’m deeply curious about the world, so I genuinely enjoy discussing whatever is on your mind - your hobbies, your work, your weird opinions, or even just what you ate for breakfast. My rule is simple: Fluency first, accuracy second. I won't stop you mid-sentence to correct your preposition. Instead, I listen, let you speak, and then offer gentle feedback after you’ve made your point. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel confident making mistakes.

Я требовательна к себе и своим знаниям и навыкам. Видеть результаты своего труда - для меня самая большая награда. Достигнутые навыки говорения у моих учеников - это цель моих уроков. На моих уроках присутствуют все лингвистические аспекты преподавания языка (лексика, грамматика, фонетика). Каждый из этих аспектов очень важен в обучении иностранной речи. Я стараюсь подать их на уроке в интересной и живой форме.
