Maria is absolutely wonderful, charming and brilliant. The class is structured with purpose and her learning style adapts to the student. Progress has been meaningful and deliberate. Maria goes above and beyond to ensure time in class is useful. The tools provided are great, and the variety of topics are always refreshing. I would recommend María to anyone looking to improve and grow in their mastery of Russian or any language under her tutelage.

Maria is a great teacher. She understands English very well, and can interpret the meaning behind each sentence and example. She is very knowledgeable about translating sentences from English and creating quality sentences in Russian, though the structure of the two languages is very different. I strongly suggest.
