My name is Elena. And this is about me:

- Professional teacher of Russian as a foreign language, I have a higher philological education
- 17 years of experience teaching Russian at the university, including 3 years online
- More than 250 students who speak excellent Russian (passed the Russian language exams with the highest and good scores)
- For 6 years I have been a Russian language tester (TORFL)

I'm waiting for you at my lessons.

You start speaking from the very first lesson.
Learning a language takes practice.

I provide you with the latest materials and textbooks.
For many years of work, I have already fallen in love with some of those.

We study Russian comprehensively.
Reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary, grammar – we pay attention on every part of the language. I focus on your needs and create a plan to best achieve your goal.

What else is in my lessons? Jokes, interesting tasks, friendly atmosphere, short curious facts about the lifestyle and culture of Russian people. And more...

I use English as an intermediary language at elementary levels. At more advanced levels we speak only Russian.


I live in the Russian town near Moscow and am a native speaker of the Russian language. I have been working as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language at the university for 17 years. I adore Russian and love to share my knowledge with people who wants to learn it. I am a calm person and I really like to joke.

I graduated from the Pedagogical University in 2003 and have completed my postgraduate studies in philology in 2019. I have also repeatedly improved my qualifications as a teacher. I have a certificate of a tester in Russian (gives the right to take TORFL exams).

In my lessons, I mainly use classical teaching methods. But I combine them with playful and interactive ones. There is a lot of speaking practice, and emphasis can also be placed on pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, etc.
