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!

Friendly, sharp, patient, to the point ! Getting a class from halyna is enjoyable and also challenging …. as it should be 😉
Halyna is a very organised, thorough, determined and above all else passionate teacher. Also patient and encouraging, which makes learning Russian with her a privilege and pleasure. I would highly recommend :)
It's simply a pleasure to learn Russian with Halyna: lots of practice, just enough theory to understand how the language works and move forward, all with good humor.
