Arina Novikova

Privet!

My name is Arina, and I’m a certified native Russian teacher with a Master's degree in Linguistics and over 2 years of experience teaching Russian. I hold my degree as a Russian language teacher from the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN), a well-known Russian university that welcomes international students from all over the world to study the Russian language and culture.

I speak English fluently, which makes communication smooth and easy during our first lessons. I also have basic knowledge of German, which helps me better understand students from German-speaking countries.

My total teaching experience is almost 7 years, including 2 years dedicated specifically to teaching Russian as a foreign language. I’ve taught students from Austria, France, Germany, the US, Serbia, Uzbekistan, Indonesia and many other countries – from complete beginners to advanced – helping them with:

––– everyday and corporate Russian

––– exam prep

––– Russian for specific professional fields

I have many successful cases where my students passed the TORFL (TRKI) exam at various levels, from A1 to advanced levels. Some of them have also successfully found jobs in Russian companies and now use Russian professionally in their daily work.

In my classes, I take a communicative and personalized approach. We will work on all aspects of the language, while also exploring Russian culture, history, literature, music and cinema.

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I’ll help you build confidence and fluency in a supportive and motivating atmosphere.

Say "Da!" with Arina :)
