Maria really worked hard to put me at ease, as this was the longest conversation I've had in Russian for many years. She was good at identifying my interests and working out a plan for our future lessons, which I am looking forward to.

The lesson had to be canceled at short notice due to unforeseen circumstances, but Maria was efficient in securing a refund of my lesson deposit.

Teaching Approach
I love teaching Russian. Helping students discover my language and my culture is quite satisfying.
I believe that each student is different, so I always do my best to adapt my lessons to your needs and your learning style. However, I don’t think it’s possible to teach “only grammar” or “only conversation” Russian. I offer my students a lot of conversation practice, but also grammar, vocabulary, listening and reading exercises.
The Russian language is powerful tool. If you are ready to work I would like to show you the many wonderful ways to use that tool.
