Diana Khaibrakhmanova

I’m Diana, a native Russian speaker based in the UK with over 5 years’ experience teaching Russian and English to learners aged 7–50. I hold a BA (Hons) in Music and Modern Languages & Cultures and have worked as a private tutor, teaching intern, and university representative. My lessons combine clear grammar explanations with real-life conversation, exam technique, and creative activities inspired by music and culture.

I specialise in: GCSE and A-level Russian (speaking, writing, exam practice), University practice, TORFL preparation (A1–C2), Conversational Russian for adults (travel, work, family), Russian for children and teens (games, stories, songs).

Students typically see noticeable progress within 8–12 weeks: beginners can hold basic conversations, exam students improve grades and confidence, and adults gain practical speaking skills for real situations. I’m patient, organised, and focused on your goals, whether that’s passing an exam, speaking with family, or preparing for university or work.
