Russian classes in Cartagena: Try a class for free
Finding Russian classes in Cartagena that are both effective and affordable can be tricky. Classes are typically in groups, meaning you have limited opportunities to speak. On top of this, you’ll often find certain students dominate the conversation, or ask the teacher endless questions!
LanguaTalk offers a more convenient and effective alternative: 1-on-1 online Russian classes with experienced native tutors. You won’t find these tutors available for face-to-face Russian lessons in Cartagena. LanguaTalk finds the best tutors from around the world. They offer conversational Russian classes at cheaper rates because they don’t have to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living.
Probably you’re thinking: but are online classes really as effective as face-to-face? You can book a no obligation 30-minute trial session (for free with most tutors) and see for yourself. Classes take place via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials, as if you were in the same room. And you can book classes for whenever it suits you.
Below, you can filter to tutors who have availability that fits with your Cartagena time zone. Then watch videos, check reviews, and book a trial session.

Certified Tutor of languages (Russian, English, French) 5+years online teaching experience
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!

Language coach with 6 years experience, certified by Moscow State University
ABOUT ME:
✅My name is Natalia and I am a certified teacher of Russian. I have developed and successfully put into practice a unique methodology for teaching the Russian language (based on a combination of sports training methods and linguistic principles), which more than 150 students have successfully passed through.
✅I'm a teacher in the 3-d generation;
✅I have more than 20 years of experience (in addition to languages, I taught ballet and fitness, conducted training sessions for trainers);
✅Originally from St. Petersburg (Russia), but have been living in Spain (Majorca) for 12 years;
✅In the past - a ballerina, fitness coach, and even an animator in hotels;
💕I love: travel, sea, sun, positive people, animals, good wine and delicious food, theatre, ballet, art, sports.
My motto is “Do it with passion or not at all!”
ME AS A TEACHER:
For me, the most important thing is that you enjoy the learning process and enjoy it every time!
▶️With a lot of patience, my first priority is to create a positive and friendly atmosphere in the classroom, as well as to keep you motivated. But at the same time, I am always focused on your results, correcting your mistakes and practicing the material until you automatically use it in your speech. I also have a degree in sports psychology, which allows me to create my own teaching system based on a combination of sports training and linguistic teaching principles.
❤️My classes are very emotional and positive, and so am I!
MY LESSONS&TEACHING STYLE:
👩🎓In my methodology for teaching Russian, I combine the methods of sports psychology, aimed at achieving high results and motivation, with the main principles of teaching foreign languages:
✅The principle “From knowledge to skill” - each new knowledge that a student receives goes through several stages of my training to translate it into a stable skill and the ability to use new constructions automatically in speech;
✅“Helix principle” - new material, like beads, is strung on previously studied, allowing students to master new speech tools and not forget what they have learned before.
✅“Principle of uniqueness” - I am absolutely sure that each person is unique and talented, and revealing your uniqueness in the learning process is also part of my methodology.
✅The motto is “Learn languages the way an athlete prepares for the Olympics!

Mariam D
English and Russian tutor that will help you overcome your language barrier
Hey there! My name is Mariam, and I am an English and Russian tutor with over 8 years of experience helping students achieve their language goals in Thailand, Hungary, and online. I believe the most important thing in teaching a language is to ensure the student feels comfortable enough to start speaking. When learning a language, the hardest part is overcoming the shyness of speaking because, in my opinion, the more you talk, the more you improve. ;)
I look forward to meeting my students, as I love interacting with people from different countries and backgrounds. I enjoy having relaxed conversations, traveling, cinema, art, and many other topics that we can discuss together—whether in Russian or English—depending on which language you choose to study!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do any of the teachers on LanguaTalk also offer in-person conversational Russian classes in Cartagena?
While some teachers on LanguaTalk may offer in-person conversational classes in their local area, the majority specialize in online teaching. This approach is more convenient for them, allowing flexibility and the comfort of working from home. Most teachers are not based in Cartagena and are spread across the globe, so if you're looking for a class with LanguaTalk, you should anticipate an online learning experience.
Are Russian lessons in Cartagena more expensive than learning online?
Whilst not always the case, Russian classes in Cartagena are typically more expensive than online learning options. This is due to the costs associated with using a classroom, as well as travel time and expenses for teachers. Online classes, on the other hand, eliminate these overheads. Additionally, online instructors often live in countries with lower living costs, which can further reduce the price of online classes.
How does participating in a Russian class via video call differ from attending a Russian class in person in Cartagena?
Many students initially have reservations about participating in online Russian classes, thinking the experience will be vastly different from in-person classes. However, they often discover that online classes can be just as engaging and effective. In an online Russian class, you’ll interact with your teacher and classmates as if you were all in the same room. The teacher may share resources (like articles or videos) and will collaborate with you in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, ensuring an interactive learning environment. The biggest benefit is convenience: there is no need to travel, and you can book lessons for when it suits you.
What's the best way to find conversational Russian classes near me in Cartagena?
If you prefer in-person learning over online classes, LanguaTalk might not be the best fit for your needs. For local classes, you can search through community boards or local service listing websites. However, we encourage you to explore the convenience and effectiveness of online classes.

The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever Russian tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
