Iβm Irina, and I specialize in helping English speakers master Russian without overwhelm β whether youβre starting from scratch or prepping for TORFL exams. My secret is clear comparisons to English, so tricky grammar (like cases or verbs of motion) finally clicks.Β
Letβs make fluency feel natural. Your success is my job!
You can find my profiles on Preply, iTalki, and Superprof if you prefer to work through a middleman or if you would like to verify my reviews from those platforms. Iβll be happy to work with you anywhere β both on the platforms and outside of them.
If you donβt want to overpay platforms for mediation, then be sure to check my rates on this website.

In 2003, I completed my studies at Tver State University with a Masterβs degree in Teaching Russian Language. Since 2009, Iβve been working as a tutor, helping people who speak English to learn the Russian language.

Iβll guide you through all the possible structures of the Russian language.Β
Itβs a lengthy journey if youβre starting from scratch, but it will be a calm, steady, and productive process.
Beginners are my favorite kind of learners: theyβre new to the language and donβt know about cases yet.Β
I welcome all newcomers and enjoy working with those who are starting from scratch; weβll get along just fine.
Do you have limited time, but you need to learn a language "yesterday"? No problem!Β
We will study 5 times a week, 2-3 hours a day, and by the next day, you'll need to learn a ton of material. Sounds tempting? Come on in! :)
I help prepare for various types of Russian as a foreign language exams β graduation exams or for admission to advanced college courses.Β
I also help with mastering the material during studies in college/university.
We can chat about anything π
Expanding your vocabulary and improving your grammar; learning idiomatic phrases related to different topics; picking up slang (if relevant to the topic).
As a certified teacher, I have the linguistic knowledge needed to explain the unique features of the Russian language, such as its system of cases, verbs of motion, differences between animate and inanimate objects, variations in verb tenses, and more. I ensure better understanding by providing relevant comparisons to English.

I teach Russian through practical examples of its usage and in comparison with the English language. In other words, I will never require you to simply memorize a table of endings without understanding how you can apply this knowledge. We first explore situations where you can apply these concepts, and then you learn the endings, but with a clear understanding of where and how to apply what you are currently learning.Β

However, the most challenging part for anyone learning any language is to start speaking and understanding real-life conversation. With me, youβll have a safe space to speak, make mistakes, and improve β a place where you can grow confidently.
