This lesson is for us to get to know each other and see if I'm the right teacher for you. And for you to learn some Russian, too, of course 🙂

For beginners: Crosstalk format – I speak Russian, you speak English, Spanish, Italian, German, or Malayalam.

I'll briefly explain my teaching approach (Comprehensible Input, ALG) in English, Spanish, or Italian if you need me to, and then we'll have a lesson demo.

⚠️ I might not be the right teacher for you.

I don't teach grammar to beginners – I believe it interferes with natural acquisition. I also don't encourage forced early speaking (you can speak as long as it comes naturally).

That said, at higher levels, we can TALK about grammar if you find the topic fascinating 🙂

This lesson is for new students who want to understand my approach: Comprehensible Input / ALG.

Beginners: Crosstalk format – I speak Russian, you speak English, Spanish, Italian, German, or Malayalam.

Book the 30‑min session if you want a lesson demo (Russian only) plus a brief method overview in Russian/English/Spanish/Italian.

Book the 60‑min session if you're new to CI/ALG and want deeper coaching (in RU/EN/ES/IT) plus a lesson demo.

⚠️ I might not be the right teacher for you if:

- You want grammar lessons
- You want forced early speaking (you can speak as long as it comes naturally)

Trial Lesson ($20 for 30 mins) – for those who have run out of free trials elsewhere (can only be booked once)

Want to understand Russian from day one?

This type of lesson is for those looking for comprehensible Russian input, right from the very beginning of their language journey.

I will adapt my speech to your level and use drawings, gestures, and objects to help you understand naturally.

The format is Crosstalk – you don't have to speak Russian. You can speak English, Spanish, Italian, Malayalam or German. This means you get more input during class, avoid the stress of forced speaking, and prevent those wrong connections that come from relying on your native language too early.

Bonus: We can record our lessons. On Zoom, I'll also send you the audio of only me speaking – 100% native comprehensible Russian input you can listen to as a podcast on the go.

Start understanding Russian from day one. No grammar. No pressure. Just input.

Comprehensible Input Sessions / Crosstalk / Conversation for 0–B1 students

This is a relaxed, friendly conversation for students who can already communicate in Russian.

If you're a beginner or at a lower level, please choose the 0–B1 session instead.

On request, we can create a Google Doc to track new vocabulary we come across during our conversation.

Lessons can be recorded.

Conversation Practice (B1+)

This lesson is a conversation for intermediate and advanced students who studied with me before August 2025.
