These lessons are for learners who already speak Russian and want to use it more confidently and accurately in real conversation.

We talk about complex topics:  culture, work, opinions, everyday life - but the focus is not only on the topic itself. I regularly draw your attention to language choices, typical mistakes and unclear phrasing that appear in your speech.

I don’t follow a textbook in these lessons, but I do guide the conversation. When a topic becomes linguistically unproductive, I gently redirect it. When a discussion is genuinely interesting and useful, we stay with it.

After each lesson, you receive written feedback in Google Docs. Once a week, I also create a personalised Quizlet set based on the language that came up in our conversations.

This format works best for independent adult learners who value structure, clear feedback and a focused working atmosphere.

General English

These  lessons are for:
- learners who already know Cyrillic alphabet, know how to read in Russian and who want to speak as soon as possible.

We work with the textbook to stick with the basic vocabulary gradually enriching it with the vocabulary which is interesting exactly for you. Depending on your level we work on your pronunciation. I create a google document with my comments after our lesson, necessary materials for the next lesson, etc. Be ready to do homework.

- self-learners who need help with a specific topic like explaining directions, expressing likes, drilling difficult verbs conjugation, etc. 

Dear learners, if you book a trial or first lesson, would you please send me a message with the information about your goal and your level. Packages are available.

NB. I teach Russian to adults only.
       Please no food in the lesson. It is not a lecture and you are supposed to participate.

Russian for beginners

*This lesson is 30 minutes.*

We get acquainted at this lesson. I estimate your level and tell you the way we are going to work together.

Trial lesson (30 MINUTES - please read the description)

It is not an online class.

A short, concentrated set of exercises that helps you finally feel how the construction with “чтобы” works.
Clear explanation, bite-sized video clips, automatic checks, and practical tasks that fix the most typical mistakes - all in one place, at your pace, without extra theory.

Since italki doesn’t allow screenshots or visual examples in lesson descriptions, I’ve put a clear, visual presentation in one place - so you can see exactly what the future practice will look like, what problems it solves, and how the exercises are structured.

Curious to see the preview?
Send me a message with "ЧТОБЫ", and I’ll share the link.

Even with focused, meaningful lessons, one class per week is not enough. During the lesson we often talk about your life, discuss news or fresh topics, answer questions that appear naturally. 

A mixed format (online + asynchronous) gives more time for speaking, feedback, and language work. To make progress more visible and consistent, I offer combined packages:
- online lessons for live speaking, discussion, new topics,
- asynchronous lessons for deeper language work and individual feedback between meetings.
This format gives us more time for everything that matters, without turning lessons into rushed sessions.

Asynchronous lessons help us:
- stay in contact with Russian between online lessons,
- reflect on your spoken language,
- receive calm, detailed feedback at your own pace,
- come to the next online lesson ready for a new topic.

How asynchronous lessons work?
- You send me a voice message (or written task).
- I listen carefully.
- I send you detailed audio feedback: corrections, better word choices, natural phrases, pronunciation tips.
You can listen to my feedback many times and really learn from it.

Lesson packages include:
5 lessons:
- 3 online
- 2 asynchronous

10 lessons:
- 6 online
- 4 asynchronous

15 lessons:
- 8 online
- 7 asynchronous

Result:
- more contact with Russian
- better focus on language goals
- faster, more stable progress even with a busy schedule.
