Conversational Russian classes online

Здравствуйте! Приятно познакомиться!
Hello and nice to meet you!

I'm Tatiana, a native Russian, proficient English and advanced French speaker and a professional tutor of languages, certified in Russia (diplomas from Krasnodar and Moscow universities) and internationally (Delta module 1 and TKT).

You are welcome to my classes if you:

• want to learn one of the 6 official UN languages, that is Russian;
• need some help with Cyrillic script and handwriting;
• want to achieve accuracy in Russian grammar and vocabulary;
• would like to understand Russian speech, songs and videos;
• dream of reading Russian fiction in the original;
• need some conversation practice in Russian;
• have already been doing a course in Russian and are struggling with it;
• are going to or already have some business contacts with Russians;
• are interested in Russian culture or history;
• would like to travel to Russia;
• enjoy training your brain and having new challenges which the process of learning a new language is full of;
• or maybe you'd just like to discuss the purpose of life, Dostoevsky-style? You're also welcome, as I’m a certified psychologist, too.

A few words about me. I was born and brought up in Krasnodar, Russia. Remember Sochi 2014 Olympics? That’s Krasnodar region, right.
I fell in love with languages since childhood and decided to become a teacher while still in my first year at primary school. I first started tutoring when I was 15, for the neighbors’ daughter who needed help with her English homework.
That determined the choice of my major at university. I graduated as a philologist and a teacher of English and French and went on to take CAE and CPE and later teaching qualification exams (TKT and DELTA) from Cambridge. I finally officially qualified as a tutor of Russian this year, 2022.
I have been teaching 1-to-1 classes offline since 1998 and online since 2017. Despite my qualifications, I’m first of all a practitioner and I build my teaching around your needs and goals.
I’m a terrible dancer, but a lesson for me is a tango round, where you lead the way to where you want to come and I follow you, making the way bright and enjoyable.
Teaching languages is my lifelong passion and I’ll be delighted to share it with you!
See you in my classes! 
До встречи на моих уроках!

ABOUT ME:

Привет! My name is Vika, and I’d love to be your guide to learning Russian! I’ve always been passionate about the Russian language and literature—I even participated in competitions and wrote for the school newspaper. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, yoga, and hiking.

Traveling is also a big part of my life; I've visited 20+ countries. Recently, my husband, daughter, and I moved from Russia to the UK. I have Ukrainian roots, but my parents moved to Siberia in the 1980s for work, and that's where I was born and raised.

In the past three years, I’ve taken several courses in teaching Russian as a foreign language, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see my students grow. My approach focuses on creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak freely without fear of making mistakes. I love asking questions and encouraging you to share your own stories, making our conversations feel natural and enjoyable.

Join me for a trial lesson, and let’s make learning Russian a meaningful and engaging experience! Together, we’ll not only improve your language skills but also boost your confidence to be yourself in Russian. Book your lesson today, and let's unlock the world of the Russian language together!
