Hi! As a native Russian speaker now living in vibrant Barcelona, I’ve spent over a decade working in IT and have a true passion for teaching. I'm your dedicated Russian and / or English tutor, bringing a fresh, dynamic approach to learning one of the world’s most beautiful languages. Currently, I'm also a student, learning Catalan from scratch, so I understand the challenges and excitement that come with mastering a new language. Whether you're aiming for formal or conversational Russian, I'll guide you through engaging, personalized lessons designed to make learning enjoyable and effective. Oh, and when I'm not teaching or coding, I’m spending time with my cat! With my background in mentoring and teaching, I’ve seen firsthand how structured learning accelerates progress. That’s why we’ll use proven textbooks to track your growth and ensure a solid foundation. But learning a language is more than just rules—it’s about connection. In our lessons, we’ll dive into topics that matter to you: your work, childhood, future goals, favourite films, books, and even memes! By integrating these into our discussions, you’ll not only improve your Russian but also bridge cultural gaps, helping you strengthen relationships with Russian-speaking friends, family, coworkers, clients, or even a significant other. Ready to immerse yourself in Russian culture while mastering the language? Book a trial lesson with me today! Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to boost your fluency, I’ll tailor our lessons to your goals. If you're a beginner, you'll be reading Russian by our second lesson! For more advanced learners, we’ll focus on achieving fluency. I combine a variety of teaching methods, from traditional academic approaches to the Stanislavski technique used by actors and TV presenters, to enhance your pronunciation, comprehension, and confidence. These proven methods will help you perfect your accent, speak with ease, understand the nuances of Russian expressions, and accelerate your learning. We'll even recreate your daily conversations with friends and coworkers to make the experience truly relevant. Plus, you'll gain insights into Russian culture and history, starting from day one. Let's make learning Russian both practical and enjoyable!
