Certified Italian, English and Russian Teacher Я хочу мотивировать и вдохновлять вас на достижения ваших мечт, с помощью улучшения ваших языковых навыков. Моей целью является определение наличия знаний и навыков у студента, а не их отсутствия; поощрение того, что студент знает и может выполнить, а не наоборот. My goal is to inspire and motivate you to learn a language along with its history and culture. I appreciate your performance and knowledge, instead of fosusing on what you might not know.

I know what it’s like to learn a language. Let’s talk. Hi! I’m Nikita, a native of Tallinn and a true bilingual in Russian and Estonian. I specialize in helping students break through the “impossible” reputation of these languages—because I’ve done it myself, from both sides. My experience growing up and learning in a non-native environment means I know exactly what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to mastering a new language. If you want to speak Russian or Estonian confidently, I can help you get there. I speak four languages and use whichever one helps you understand fastest—so you spend less time confused and more time actually speaking. My focus is on real communication, not just textbook rules. Ready to make Russian or Estonian feel natural? Let’s talk!
