Russian for children and students – any age and level. Improves writing, reading, speaking and listening skills 9up to GCSE and A-level)
Conversation for Holiday and travel to Russia – everyday conversations, dialogs, situations, culture, tips for travelling, Internet and teenagers language.
Business Russian- basic level for business and corporate language communication for satisfying main communicative needs in everyday situations, in professional, business and socio-cultural spheres.

Personal approach
My motto is not only to teach language, but also make Russians closer to people of other cultures and languages by showing and researching rich Russian history, culture, humor and character. That is why I’m using press, everyday life stories and cases in addition to academic text books and methods. My journalistic and communication background together with education helps me to reach this goal.
Extra information
If the student beginner in russian, I can suggest such lesson structure:
- Reading practice (learning alphabet, reading syllables, reading words, sentences)
- Proper grammar - tenses, conjugations, cases, genders
- Accurate pronunciation and accent reduction
- Vocabulary expansion/ conversation practice
- Developing oral speech.

But this plan can be changed depending on students wishes and goals.

My name is Hanna, and I am happy to meet you here 😊

My credo is to love what I teach and those to whom I teach.

The first class is devoted to identifying your level of Russian language proficiency.

With my students, I work on
1) listening comprehension,
2) correct pronunciation,
3) reading comprehension,
4) expansion of vocabulary,
5) learning grammar,
6) elimination of letter-by-letter reading,
7) mirror writing (N-И, R-Я) (with children).

I am an extreme opponent of cramming and learning something that is not useful to you in everyday life and day-to-day conversations. That is why I always rely on material that is relevant to real life and real communication.

About my lessons:
- creative plans,
- boundless energy,
- friendly atmosphere,
- inspiration,
- my strong belief in your potential.

I will help you to fall in love with Russian and to make progress day by day 😊

Hi! I'm a professional musician based in Vienna, with experience performing on international cruise ships.

I have a native-level command of Russian and speak English fluently.

I believe the best way to learn a language is through real conversation — no stiff textbooks, no pressure,
just genuine communication in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Whether you're an absolute beginner taking your very first steps, a professional looking to sharpen your target language, or a teenager wanting to sound more natural — I tailor every lesson to you.

Why learn Russian?
Russian language is one the most spoken languages in the world - and one of the most underrated to learn.
It covers over 250 million people across Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and many other countries.
It opens the door to one of the richest literary and artistic traditions in human history.
It helps people connect, whether it's a professional or personal realm.

Why learn Russian with me?

My sessions are flexible, fun, and always focused on building your confidence.
Living between cultures and languages my whole life has taught me how daunting — and how rewarding — learning a new language can be. I get it, and I'm here to make the journey easier.

Learn to speak, read, and understand Russian with confidence. This course is designed for beginners as well as learners who want to improve their existing skills in a practical and engaging way.

Through interactive lessons, exercises, and speaking practice, you’ll gain confidence in listening and communicating naturally in Russian. We’ll also explore aspects of Russian culture to help you better understand the language in context.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to read basic texts, form sentences, and communicate in everyday situations with ease.

Russian is one of the world’s most widely spoken, elegant, and expressive languages. It is also undoubtedly difficult to learn. However, as a fellow MA student and a Russian Linguistics major, I know effective techniques for teaching Russian as a foreign language.

Unlike many other tutors, I can also offer students an insight into contemporary Russian-speaking culture and society. Simply put, we can learn Russian while talking about a wide range of topics — from the latest games to philosophy.

Of course, grammar will be an important part of our lessons, but I have not only a degree in Russian language studies, but also experience teaching Russian to foreigners. Since I live in Europe myself, my schedule is especially convenient for students in European and nearby time zones.

Whether you want to start from scratch, expand your vocabulary, improve your grammar, or raise your current level, I am here to help. I teach students from A0 to B1, and I can also offer speaking practice for B2 learners.

Have a nice one and see you in class!

I offer personalized English, IELTS, and TOEFL lessons focused on both general language improvement and exam-specific strategies. My teaching combines structured materials, official-style practice tests, textbooks, authentic English content, and individual feedback. I help students improve grammar, vocabulary, speaking fluency, writing structure, listening comprehension, reading strategies, and time management.

A typical lesson includes a short warm-up, review/Q&A, targeted practice, detailed feedback, and homework adapted to the student’s goals. I commonly offer flipped-lesson structure so as to maximise students' speaking time during lessons and minimise passive video, audio, and text material study—something that can often be done without a tutor. For exam preparation, I also help with understanding the format, avoiding common mistakes, and building confidence through regular timed practice.

I have five years of experience teaching both children and adults. My students have achieved TOEFL scores such as 98, 100, 105, and 114, and I have helped some learners progress from elementary all the way to C1/C2 and exam success. I personally scored 116/120 on TOEFL iBT and 8.5/9 on IELTS Academic, and I hold a TEFL/TESOL certificate with excellence.

What sets me apart is my friendly, supportive, reliable, and conscientious teaching style. As a native Russian and Kyrgyz speaker, I can explain difficult points clearly to Russian-speaking students. I also speak Intermediate Mandarin Chinese (HSK 5) and I am actively learning German—in other words I understand what struggles language learners face very well. This, as well as my cognitive neuropsychology and linguistics background make me very competent in languages as such, which helps me adapt to all kinds of students.

My lessons are suitable for teenagers, including school students, adults, university applicants, professionals, and anyone preparing for IELTS, TOEFL, academic English, or general English improvement. I work with learners from beginners to advanced levels and adapt lessons to each student’s goals, timeline, and current ability.
