About Me
Hi! My name is Dasha, and I’ve been teaching Russian for almost my entire life! Even as a student in Saint Petersburg, I was helping candidates prepare for Russian exams, and since then, teaching has become a core part of who I am.
I teach both groups and private lessons, for adults and teenagers, online and in person. I speak several languages (Russian, English, French, German, and a bit of Dutch and Spanish), which helps me understand the student’s perspective.
I am a co-author of the textbook I Love Russian (A2–B1) and have created several beginner courses, including the Essential Russian mini-course and the Alphabet course. I also develop curricula and exams and prepare students for TORFL and TELC exams.
I’m passionate about language teaching methodology, multilingualism, intercultural communication, and innovative approaches to language learning. I’m always happy to collaborate with students, teachers, and institutions who share my passion for languages!
