Arina

Hi, I’m Arina! I’m a native Russian and Ukrainian speaker based in the UK, and I speak fluent English. I offer friendly online language lessons for beginners and learners who would like more practice with everyday conversation.

Having learned English and studied Spanish myself, I understand how challenging it can feel to start speaking another language. My aim is to create a comfortable environment where you can ask questions, make mistakes and practise without feeling rushed.

We’ll begin by discussing your current level, your interests and what you would like to achieve. You might be learning to communicate with family, prepare for a trip, connect with your heritage or simply try something new. These goals will help shape our lessons.

For beginners, we can start with the alphabet, useful phrases, pronunciation and basic sentence structures. As you become more confident, we can introduce short conversations, reading activities and listening practice. If you already know some of the language, we can focus on expanding your vocabulary and making conversation feel more natural.

A typical lesson will include a short recap, a new topic and time to practise through examples and conversation. I’ll explain grammar in manageable steps and use English whenever helpful. We can work with everyday situations such as introducing yourself, shopping, ordering food and talking about your interests.

My professional background is in artist management and digital marketing, where clear communication, organisation and preparation are central to my work. I’ll bring that same care to planning our sessions.

Lessons are online, with availability during weekday evenings and at weekends. You’re welcome to message me about your goals so we can discuss whether my approach suits you.
