Veronika Zhabina

Hi! I'm Veronika, a native Russian speaker, and I'm excited to help you discover and learn the Russian language!

My lessons are designed around your individual goals, level and interests. Whether you're starting from zero, learning Russian for travelling, communicating with friends or family, or simply interested in the language and culture, we can create a learning plan that works for you. I believe that the best way to learn a language is to actually use it. That's why I like combining practical speaking exercises with vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. We can practise everyday conversations, learn useful expressions, discuss different topics and work on situations you might encounter in real life.
For beginners, I can help you build a strong foundation step by step, starting with basic words, phrases, pronunciation and simple sentence structures. If you already have some knowledge of Russian, we can focus more on conversation, expanding your vocabulary and making your speech sound more natural.
I also speak English fluently (C1 level), so I can explain grammar and difficult concepts in English whenever needed. I have previous experience tutoring school-age children in English, which has helped me develop patience and learn how to explain things in a clear and understandable way.
I want my lessons to feel comfortable and relaxed. You don't have to be afraid of making mistakes — they are a natural part of learning! I will always encourage you to ask questions, practise at your own pace and become more confident.

Every student is different, so I'm happy to adapt my teaching style and materials to what works best for you. My goal is not just to teach you Russian, but to make you enjoy learning it!
