Native Russian speaker, patient teacher for beginners of any age

I'm a native Russian speaker with a background in teaching and over 20 years of professional experience communicating in Russian, across journalism, television broadcasting and editorial work. I hold a pedagogical qualification in Music Education and worked as a kindergarten teacher, so I'm used to explaining things patiently and adapting to how each learner takes things in, whether that's a young child or an adult.

My lessons are relaxed and encouraging, focused on building real confidence with the language rather than overwhelming you with grammar rules. Whether you're a complete beginner or just starting to build your vocabulary, I'll tailor lessons around what you want to get out of them, at a pace that works for you. I'm friendly, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping people take their first steps in a new language.
