I know everyone writes about how amazing their teacher is, and I'm no exception - Lera is an amazing teacher. The lessons never get boring, and we can talk about absolutely anything, from deep philosophical questions to the most random topics. Honestly, it doesn't even feel like learning anymore; it's like just hanging out and communicating through the Russian language. In your face, Italki, deal with it!

I always look forward to my lessons with Lera. She is a phenomenal teacher, and her classes are never boring. We discuss interesting themes that she selects while she adds comments and corrections to the chat. I find her diction easy to understand without feeling like she's oversimplifying her sentence structure or speaking unnaturally slowly.

Lera is an excellent teacher. She makes one feel so comfortable that learning becomes an enjoyable journey during which fear of making mistakes completely disappear.

I absolutely love my lessons with Lera! It’s always super cozy and fun, and the atmosphere is so relaxed. She’s very spontaneous, easygoing, and the conversations never feel forced. Every lesson flies by and leaves me feeling motivated. I always look forward to our classes — highly, highly recommended!

I've been taking weekly conversational classes with Lera for the past eight months, and it's been such a lovely experience! Lera is sweet, easygoing, and always ready to talk about anything. Her bright smile is guaranteed to bring a little sunshine into your day! She is incredibly well-prepared, with a wonderful collection of games, books, and other activities up her sleeve, ready to pull out whenever the moment calls for something different. From the very first lesson, it felt like I was talking to a dear friend. I'm so happy I found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her!

Lera is one of my favourite Russian teachers because she is extremely polite, and is able to participate in different and engaging conversations about a whole range of topics. There are no awkward silence periods. She is also enthusiastic about teaching languages and encourages me to speak. I have developed more confidence as a result, I am not so apprehensive anymore. I know that I still make some mistakes but if I keep making the same or similar mistakes that's when I get corrected (and very politely). It feels good to get just the right amount of feedback, not to be overcorrected (but also not undercorrected) in the beginning as then I am not so afraid or reluctant to say something. I think this is the best approach or method. Thank you very much, I appreciate it! 👏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
