Learn from the best!
I'm a curious, creative, and open-minded person who genuinely enjoys connecting with people. My hobbies include crafts, photography, and finding beauty in everyday moments. Students often tell me that our lessons become a highlight of their week because the atmosphere is relaxed, engaging, and full of interesting conversations. Some of the things my students say: "You're kind of crazy in the best way. I can talk to you about anything, and it's always interesting." "She makes me want to keep learning, even when I'm overwhelmed by frustration and feel like nothing's working." My philosophy is simple: better to speak without cases than stay silent with them. The goal is to understand and be understood.
Hello! I'm a Russian language teacher, and I truly love what I do. I've taught at Moscow State University, the Higher School of Economics, embassies, and international companies. Seeing students speak Russian for the first time? That's magic to me. I don't just teach grammar — I help you speak. Real-life materials, communicative methods, and lessons tailored to you. Whether you need Russian for work, travel, exams, or friends — I've got you. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to start. I'll be there with you every step of the way. Ready to speak Russian with confidence? Let's do this together!
I have been teaching for 5+ years. I create a calm and supportive atmosphere in the classroom, where it's not scary to make mistakes and you can learn at your own pace. It is important for me not just to "give the material", but to interest you, to make the learning process easy and enjoyable. Come to the first lesson and you will see that you should not be afraid of the Russian language!
I’m an English teacher with 7 years of experience working with students of all ages and levels. I hold a TEFL qualification and have experience teaching with Evolve by Cambridge. My approach is student-centred and adaptable: I adjust the structure and pace of my lessons according to each student’s needs and goals. Speaking and practical communication are at the heart of my lessons, while grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening are naturally integrated into the learning process. I want my students to feel comfortable using English and making mistakes. I don’t interrupt unnecessarily when they speak; instead, I give them space to express themselves and provide feedback afterwards. My goal is to help students build the confidence to communicate effectively, even when their English isn’t perfect. I like my lessons to be friendly and enjoyable, with plenty of humour, but always with a clear learning objective. Most importantly, I want students to leave each lesson feeling that they have made progress and that learning English can be a great and rewarding experience.
I am an experienced tutor (in-person and online lessons) with over 15 years of international teaching experience in three countries. I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds, and I have a proven track record of success. My areas of expertise include exam preparation (TOEFL, IELTS, CAE, UCAT & OTE, among others) and teaching General English (using courses like English File, Speakout, etc.). I am patient and efficient, and I strive to ensure my students get good results.
My start in teaching Russian was absolute love at first sight. I’ve lived in St. Petersburg for more than half of my life, and I love this city. I was born and raised in Turkmenistan, in fact, in a bilingual environment; my grandparents were of different nationalities. So multiculturalism is in my blood. This largely determines my love for people from all countries. Over the years of working with foreigners, I’ve had a little (and sometimes a lot) of contact with the cultures of more than 30 countries on our planet. Therefore, I can say with complete confidence that knowing and speaking Russian is so interesting and wonderful for them. What I love most about my profession is that after just a few lessons, we can speak Russian with each student, which means the results are obvious!
