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:

✅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!

I teach Russian for life, business, study & travel. I specialize in work and social conversation, grammar & pronunciation, job hunting & business vocab, exam preparation, and Russian cultural awareness.  Whatever your age, your level or your learning goals, I will design a program tailored to suit your personal needs.

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!

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!

Hi, I'm Nadezda, or Nadia (my short and easier-to-say name:). I am from Saint Petersburg, Russia, but 10 years ago, I moved to Italy.

I have been teaching Russian online for 6 years. Many of my students are beginners, and I guide them from their first steps, such as learning to read Cyrillic. Each lesson, I assist them in progressing through the levels A1, A2, B1, and beyond.

For advanced learners, I am here to help you master Russian. I tailor my lessons to accommodate your goals and learning style. Whether you prefer a faster or slower pace, my structured lessons follow a logical and gradual approach. Step by step, you will gain more confidence in your Russian.
