I am masters in Russian Literature and native Russian speaker. I specialize in teaching Russian for English speakers. I am not only covering the elementary part for beginners who just want to learn and strike a conversation but also for a intermediate and senior aspirant who want to learn the language for business communication.

Interested in Russian? Do you already have a little patience? a lot of passion? of curiosity and love for learning? all you need is to find a good teacher? You are in the right place :)

I find it remarkable that my first student, starting 14 months after our first meeting, knows how to hold a good conversation in very difficult Russian and on various subjects and does not need to speak French at all to make me understand his ideas! It's a miracle? Or just the result of our work ?! Since then my teaching methodology has been enhanced by the chance to meet students from different countries, literally from all professional backgrounds and ages, with different interests, dreams, hobbies, needs. This year, one of my students was able to catch up with 2 years of learning Russian in 2 months and there he follows courses at the college with other schoolchildren for whom it is the 3rd year of learning the Russian language at school. So, are we breaking new records together? :)
I'm not going to teach you these 'robot' phrases, my real intention is only to make you love the language, our culture, our traditions, to make you understand our logic, way of living, of seeing things and much sure to teach you to speak the language! And to achieve this, I carefully prepare my lessons drawing inspiration from different sources such as Russian textbooks as the foreign language (all levels from A1 to C2) grammar books, videos, songs, articles press, exam models, I myself make little 'surprise' cards or I imagine little games to make my students revise and reinforce the knowledge received and of course, why not a little Russian literature. Let's learn some wonderful quotes from the poem of the great poet Marina Тsvetaeva or why not share some wonderful lines from Gogol's creation 'The Dead Souls' and of course, if you are not afraid, let's get lost somewhere on the ponds of the Patriarch of Bulgakov in 'The Master and Margarita' :) I would very much like my students to consider my lessons as a pleasure where they can receive solid knowledge while having fun :) I would be grateful and happy if you could share your time with me , your interests and the way you learn other languages and maybe together we could discover new learning methods that will be effective :)
PS I speak French and English so I can provide you with the necessary explanations in these two languages, I have no problem with that :)

See you soon!

The Russian language proves to be very challenging for all speakers - even for those born in Russia. However, I have excellent knowledge of the normative literary Russian language thanks to my philological and pedagogical academic training. The major linguistic pair I work with is Russian - English . Although it becomes helpful for the students when I also incorporate references to French or Dutch when needed. As an experienced private tutor and university teacher who understands the struggles of her students, I'm able to find a personal approach to each of them. Our linguistic classes will be enriched with background information about Russia, its history and culture, so that you become even more motivated to master this rich but complicated language. And once the "tough nut" is cracked - an amazing new universe will reveal itself to you :)

Would you like to learn Rissian? Being able to tell something about you and read everything written? It is possible! And faster than you think! :)
I taught Russian and Literature in St Petersburg. I have found that in a playful and practice-oriented way you can learn this language much faster and use it from the first lesson, which gives extra motivation!
Just do it :) Everyone is welcome!

These lessons are specially designed for people who have no or very limited knowledge of Russian. The lessons are very practically designed so that you memorise the vocabulary easily and quickly.

These lessons are designed for all ages and the approach is always very individual. It is very important to me that the student is motivated and enjoying the lessons. For children this is learning through play, for adults more conversational exercises where you have the complete freedom to make mistakes and learn from them with my guidance.
The lessons can be scheduled flexibly.

My online or face-to-face lessons are for all levels, adults and children, for anyone who wants to speak and write English or Russian with more confidence.

I always give individual guidance tailored to your needs. Afterwards you will receive personalized homework with clear explanations and practical exercises. During the lesson we mainly focus on communication.

I also give special lessons "English for aviation" for pilots and air traffic control, among others.

I look forward to working together!

Hello,

my name is Natalia, and I am a professional Russian language teacher with over 17 years of experience working with both adults and children. My passion for languages began early on, leading me to explore not only foreign languages but also the intricacies of my native Russian. I have a strong interest in comparative linguistics and etymology, which deepens my understanding of language structures.

In my teaching, I blend modern and classical language instruction methods, tailoring each lesson to your individual needs. This personalized approach ensures that you achieve your language goals as efficiently as possible. Every class is thoughtfully structured, so you will always have a clear understanding of what we are doing and why.

This diverse experience allows me to combine a rigorous academic approach with engaging gamified methods, making lessons not only effective but also interesting.

I have extensive experience teaching Russian as a foreign language.
I also teach the first two levels of Dutch (A1–A2) for non-native speakers.
Ukrainian is also my native language, and I decided that I should teach it as well, just like my other languages.
My lessons are structured, clear, and adapted to the needs of each student. I enjoy working with beginners and helping them build a solid foundation in any of these languages.

Ik geef individuele lessen Russisch, volledig in het Russisch. Mijn doel is om jou te helpen correct en zelfverzekerd Russisch te spreken en te schrijven, ongeacht je niveau.
In mijn lessen heerst een vriendelijke en ontspannen sfeer, waar fouten normaal zijn en juist helpen om te leren. Elke les wordt aangepast aan jouw doelen en behoeften, zodat je het geleerde direct kunt gebruiken in het dagelijks leven, op werk of bij studie.
Ik geloof dat het leren van een taal leuk en effectief moet zijn. Samen zorgen we ervoor dat Russisch begrijpelijk, praktisch en natuurlijk voor jou wordt!

In our lessons, we’ll go beyond grammar and vocabulary together: you’ll get to know the culture, history, and real face of modern Russian society. My goal is to make the language come alive so that you can not only speak it but also feel it.
My teaching method is based on a personalized approach: every student is unique! That’s why I tailor each class to your individual goals and ensure that we can achieve them together – quickly and effectively!

I take into account your learning style and type of intelligence: some are interested in grammar in its almost mathematical form, others learn best through spontaneous conversation and cultural context, while some are very visual... Together, we’ll find the approach that makes learning the most enjoyable and effective.
I believe that learning a language is a personal journey, and I’m here to help you on yours!
