Kristina

Hi everyone! My name is Kristina. I’m a native Russian speaker, and my main hobby is learning other languages. As a language learner myself, I know how challenging and scary it can feel to start speaking. That’s why I specialize in conversational Russian and help students speak naturally and confidently. I offer one-on-one online lessons with a flexible schedule.

My approach is communicative and student-centered. In our lessons, we focus on real-life situations, role-plays, everyday topics, and useful vocabulary. If needed, we can also work on grammar to support your speaking skills. I use authentic materials — articles, videos, podcasts, and dialogues — so you hear how Russian is actually spoken. I correct mistakes gently and help you sound more natural.

My lessons are perfect for learners who want to:

1) overcome the fear of speaking;

2) improve fluency and pronunciation;

3) expand vocabulary for travel, work, or communication with Russian speakers;

4) feel more confident in real conversations.

I create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where mistakes are a normal and useful part of learning. We go at your pace, and I adapt each lesson to your goals and interests.
My background includes a one-year course in pedagogy and personal experience learning Russian with tutors. I don’t have formal teaching experience yet, but I understand the learning process from both sides and have a solid foundation to help you practice speaking in a supportive and effective way.
