Elena is very clear and patient. A great experience learning Russian with her as a teacher.YS, Montreal
(en français plus bas) Elena is an excellent teacher, very attentive. She provides rich learning material, better than any textbooks I've come across! She is fun and it's a pleasure to learn with her. Also, she is very helpful in helping to grasp a glimpse of the "Russian soul" buried in grammar rules :) which is absolutely fantastic. She is at least trilingual which is super helpful as she can make informed comparisons between languages. A++, without any reservation.

Elena est une excellente enseignante, attentive. Le matériel qu'elle fournit avant les cours est d'une grande richesse, meilleur que tout ce que j'ai déjà pu trouver dans des manuels. Elle possède une personnalité vraiment agréable, c'est un plaisir de travailler avec elle. De plus, et c'est tout à fait formidable, elle arrive à faire saisir les particularités de "l'âme russe" à travers la grammaire !!! Elle est polyglotte, ce qui lui permet de faire des comparaisons sensibles entre les particularités de différentesAP, Quebec

Russia is the largest nation in the world and the 9th most populated country, so you will have plenty of opportunities to practice the language. In addition, Russia is an important player in the world's economic and political spheres, being one of the largest producers of oil and other minerals, as well as a prominent space explorer! Russia boasts a rich culture and long-standing traditions that have manifested themselves in the form brilliant artistic masterpieces.
How hard is it to learn Russian compared to other languages? The Cyrillic alphabet might look intimidating at first glance, but it consists of only 33 characters that are easy to learn, so you should't let that put you off. Also, contrary to English or French, the pronunciation of Russian is simple and regular.
