Hello! I’m María, a certified Teacher of Russian as a Foreign Language with years of experience helping students of all ages and levels. I’ve guided many learners from “I understand a few words” to speaking with confidence. Living and teaching in Spain has shown me that learning a language is much more than memorizing rules, it’s about stepping into its culture, history, and way of thinking. That’s why in my classes we combine living grammar with Russian cinema, music, literature, and cultural curiosities.Me as a Teacher
Certified Russian as a Foreign Language Teacher helping students learn Russian naturally and confidently. My lessons blend practical grammar with the rich culture of Russia literature, cinema, music, and traditions so you don’t just learn the language, you live it.My lessons & teaching style
I love motivating my students and making my lessons feel like a friendly conversation, where you learn without even realizing it. I take into account your strengths, learning styles, and personal interests, and I personally create all the materials we’ll use following these principles.
With speaking as the driving force of my classes, you’ll quickly learn and reinforce everything we cover until one day you’ll realize you can already speak Russian with confidence.My teaching material

Занимаюсь испанским с Марией уже две недели (4 занятия по часу), и за это время я успел оценить ее профессионализм и подход к обучению.
Мария предлагает несколько вариантов учебных материалов на выбор, что позволяет подобрать наиболее удобный и интересный формат обучения. Такой индивидуальный подход делает занятия эффективными и увлекательными.
Еще одно большое преимущество — это подбор качественных ресурсов для самостоятельной работы. Мария рекомендует сайты и упражнения, которые помогают закрепить изученные слова и грамматические конструкции, что значительно ускоряет прогресс.
Отдельно хочу отметить персональный подход Марии. Она помогает определить цели изучения языка, делает акцент на темах, которые действительно интересны, и поддерживает на каждом этапе обучения.
За эти четыре занятия я уже чувствую, как улучшается понимание основ испанского, и с нетерпением жду продолжения занятий. Большое спасибо Марии за профессионализм и искреннюю вовлеченность!
