Russian, English and German Lessons with Maria Who I don't teach: people who think they speak B2 and expect B2 or C1 lessons making A1-A2 mistakes. I want results and I am responsible, so I would like progress. People who think a teacher is a second mother, that she should be extra polite, extra nice, extra caring. I am not a nanny. People who have too many requests, too many demands (I expect to teach people who can emotionally take care of themselves without anybody's help). And I would like to teach because for me teaching is an entertaining process.

Learn to speak and understand real Russian without boring textbooks |Write to me to get a LEVEL TEST Throughout my work, I've identified the best combination of tools to deliver optimal results (WATCH THE VIDEO TO FIND OUT MORE): 🔵Interactive classes on Miro Board (where you'll engage in exercises, take notes, read, and utilize an amazing online board that facilitates learning). 🔵I provide additional practice and revision through homework on the interactive platform with automatic checking using Progressme, Wordwall, and revision sessions on Telegram. 🔵We speak only Russian during the class. Sometimes, if necessary, I explain grammar in English. 🔵I stick to the principles of communicative approach (understanding that language is not just knowledge; it's a set of skills)

  • Shreya Surapaneni

    Learning Russian

    Katya is a wonderful Russian teacher! She uses her own materials, which are divided into vocabulary sets, reading, grammar, and audio/writing. What I sincerely appreciate about her teaching is that her lessons are very structured, so you not only know what you should do to improve but also how to do it! She gives ample feedback on speaking and writing, but balances it well so you do not feel overwhelmed by the number of mistakes you are making while building the confidence to speak Russian at the same time. I enjoy every single one of our lessons and conversations together! Thanks to her, learning Russian has been less overwhelming for me now, more of a fun hobby to pursue. Highly recommend her! :)

    I was nervous to start a new language as different as Russian. Honestly it was the perfect class! I am still in shock with just how much Russian i picked up in one class! It was a calm and comfortable environment with absolutely no judgement. I am already looking forward to my next class! I would highly recommend Nata to anyone starting Russian- please book with her! You won’t regret it ❤️

She does a brilliant job breaking down complex beginner grammar into simple, practical steps, and she gets you speaking right from day one. Her lessons balance structured grammar explanations with active conversation practice, making the learning process engaging and far less intimidating. She is incredibly patient, supportive, and always adapts the pace to fit my needs. Thanks to her guidance, my confidence in speaking Russian and understanding basic conversation has grown tremendously. If you are looking for a dedicated, encouraging tutor to build a strong foundation in Russian, I highly recommend booking a lesson with Alisa!

    Igor is an exceptional instructor - he is able to easily combine the expert skills of a professional language instructor with the relaxed, friendly, flexible way of meeting students where they are at. I have been taking Russian language lessons from him for five years now - and have enjoyed every lesson and made steady progress. I highly recommend Igor for anyone seeking to learn or maintain Russian language skills.

  • Matt

    Learning Russian

    Polina is an exceptional language instructor. I usually struggle to learn languages, but she skillfully guided me through Russian grammar to get me ready for a big trip. Thanks to her patience and clear lessons, I am leaving with confidence to navigate a month-long journey through a very remote region. I am so grateful for her help and guidance. Her style is to provide resources and structure that you can always return to when you've forgotten materials from past lessons. Very handy. I've had several language instructors in a couple of different languages and Polina is by far the best tutor I've ever met. THANK YOU POLINA! Highly recommended!

    It’s always such immense pleasure to have natural, intellectually engaging, and spontaneous conversations every week with Dariya, who seems to have read or become intimately familiar with every major work of literature in and out of Russia. Our discussions dive into immersive discussions of daily life, books, history, and culture that leave plenty of room for self-reflection and opportunities to identify and work on gaps in my knowledge of Russian. She’s such a wonderful, deeply experienced, patient and astute teacher who helps you practice Russian as effectively as possible.

  • Chloe

    Learning Russian

    I’m a native English speaker learning Russian, and I’ve had about 12 lessons with Dustin so far. I’m genuinely impressed with the progress I’ve made, and it’s all thanks to him. His knowledge of both the Russian language and culture is outstanding, and he has a real talent for explaining even the most challenging concepts in a way that makes them click. Russian grammar can be incredibly tricky, and it’s easy to get frustrated, but Dustin is patient, encouraging, and makes everything much easier to understand. Every lesson is engaging, well-structured, and enjoyable. He has made learning Russian faster, easier, and a lot more fun. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional Russian tutor.

  • Jean K

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a Russian teacher who also speaks English?

Use the “Also speaks” filter on italki to see Russian teachers who speak English. Read their profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check student reviews to find the right match for your learning goals.

How much do Russian lessons for English speakers cost?

Prices depend on the teacher’s experience, qualifications, and lesson type. You can find Russian teachers starting from $5 to $50+ per hour, and many offer trial lessons at a discounted rate so you can try a teacher before you commit.

Do I need to know any Russian before booking a lesson?

No. Because your teacher also speaks English, they can explain grammar and vocabulary in your own language, which makes starting from zero much easier. Complete beginners are welcome.

What are the benefits of learning Russian with a teacher who speaks English?

A teacher who understands your native language knows the mistakes English speakers typically make and can explain difficult points clearly. You learn faster, stay motivated, and can always ask questions in English when you get stuck.

How do I schedule Russian lessons on italki?

Create a free italki account, choose a teacher you like, select a lesson, and pick a time from the teacher’s calendar. You can manage all your lessons from your dashboard.
