Natalia Panova

I am a certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language with profound experience teaching adults, children, bilingual students, and professionals from different countries and backgrounds. I hold degrees in Linguistics, Intercultural Communication, and Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language, and I am also certified as a TORFL examiner.

My lessons are personalized and designed around each student’s goals, interests, and learning style. Whether you want to improve conversation skills, master grammar, prepare for exams, study Russian literature and culture, or learn Russian for work or travel, I adapt the lessons to your needs.

I use a communicative and student-centered approach, combining speaking practice with grammar, vocabulary, authentic materials, and interactive activities. My lessons are structured but flexible, engaging, and supportive, with a focus on building confidence and making steady progress.

For me, learning a language is also discovering a culture, so I often include elements of Russian literature, history, and cultural context in my classes for students who are interested.

My goal is to make lessons effective, enjoyable, and motivating, so that students not only learn Russian, but truly start using and appreciating the language.
