Hi there! My name is Maria, and I'm a certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language (certified by the International Center of Russian Language in Moscow). I also speak both English and Chinese. I've been teaching languages for over two years, and Russian in particular, for about one year. Languages are my absolute passion and of great interest to me; therefore, I chose to teach languages as my profession. I'm a positive, open and sociable person, and getting to know new people through teaching is just another benefit of my job. I have a flexible schedule, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Hello! My name is Darina Kostiuchenko, and I’m from Kyiv, Ukraine. I speak Russian, Ukrainian and English, and I have a 120-hour TEFL certificate. I can easily help my students to dive into these great languages because I’ve been teaching them for 6 years now, and I really enjoy the process! During my classes, I focus on the students' interests, goals and preferable activities, and all language skills are practised. Learning and teaching give the ability to find out a lot about other cultures, ways of thinking and perception of this wonderful world, and of course, share my own amazing culture. Talking about interests, I enjoy travelling because it’s actually the best way to absorb other cultures and see yourself through new eyes every time. I like taking pictures during my trips. I also love music - not only listening to it but also playing the piano. Sometimes, I do yoga exercises, and it helps to clear my mind and become healthier. Lastly, I love teaching the Russian language and walking my students to this extremely attractive world of my language and culture!

Hello! My name is Sveta and I’d like to be your Russian language tutor. My specialization is General Russian for levels 0 - B1 and Business Russian for levels A2 - B2. If you are a very beginner in Russian, we will start from the alphabet and reading rules. It takes just one lesson to learn it and to start reading in Russian! In my classes we will learn only useful contemporary vocabulary and constructions. I pay a lot of attention to grammar, but the main goal of learning is to start speaking, that's why you will be speaking from the first lessons. I use a lot of communicative tasks in my classes. I always try to make my classes enjoyable, because I'm sure it helps to absorb information more easily. Also I'm sure, that it's more easy to learn a language, when you take it as an adventure but you see the results. So no boring tasks and useless words and constructions in my classes. Only the language that Russian speakers use in everyday life. Talking about the process - after each lesson you will have your home task - written and audio tasks for developing your speaking skills from the very beginning. I believe that without learning grammar and doing hometasks it's almost impossible to learn Russian in a short time. For those who have basic level in Russian and need Russian for business I have a special Business Russian course starting from the level A2. There are a lot of special business topics and vocabulary that you may need for your business. To assure you that I am competent in business terminology I will say that I got Masters degree in Economics and spent eight years working in finance. So if you are interested in learning Russian don't hesitate and sign up for a trial class. See you!
