Здравствуйте. What I like most about teaching the Russian language is the opportunity to open a new world for students—the great and mighty Russian language, the language of Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and others geniuses. I enjoy showing students all its diversity and introducing them to the cultural features of Russia, i think that knowledge of any language is incomplete without understanding the culture of its speakers. If you are a history or literature lover, poetry or you need a business course or any other course, I will be happy to prepare an individual program for you. Each student is unique and his way of learning a language is special. If you are eager to learn Russian, it is an exciting journey, and I invite you to undertake it with me.

I started teaching Russian online in 2012.

The most common reasons for learning Russian are: for travel and work, to pass an exam to test your Russian language proficiency, and also out of interest in Russian culture.

With its unfamiliar Cyrillic alphabet and complex grammar, Russian has a reputation for being difficult. The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) classifies Russian as a Category IV language, meaning it takes longer to learn than some other languages.

Usually my students enjoy learning about interesting places in Russia, as well as Russian holidays, Russian traditions and customs.

It usually takes a lot of time to master the system of Russian cases

A good student takes language learning seriously, continually working on it both in class and outside of class time in various forms.

This is can be phonetics and spelling, as well as the peculiarities of Russian grammar.

Stay positive and understand that learning a language takes effort and keep learning every day, even a little bit.

Each student has their own learning pace, but on average it will take more than 1000 hours of study.
