OVER 25 YEARS OF TEACHING With inspiration comes motivation. From motivation springs action. I’d like to inspire you on your way. I’m extremely passionate about teaching English. I use visual cards, placards. For instance, the other day we studied personalities and we made a map of characters from ‘Five Feet Apart’ which is a new movie based on a book and teenagers enjoyed it a lot! So we made a visual picture similar to one on the cover of the book and put there all new personalities together with main characters from the film. Regarding teaching children, I know many English songs and rhymes, which we learn by heart to better remember vocabulary and understand English grammar. https://www.youtube.com/playlist

    Learning Russian

    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! :)

It was a calm and comfortable environment with absolutely no judgement. I am already looking forward to my next class! I would highly recommend Nata to anyone starting Russian- please book with her! You won’t regret it ❤️

She does a brilliant job breaking down complex beginner grammar into simple, practical steps, and she gets you speaking right from day one. Her lessons balance structured grammar explanations with active conversation practice, making the learning process engaging and far less intimidating. She is incredibly patient, supportive, and always adapts the pace to fit my needs. Thanks to her guidance, my confidence in speaking Russian and understanding basic conversation has grown tremendously.

I have been taking Russian language lessons from him for five years now - and have enjoyed every lesson and made steady progress.

    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!

    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.
