Polish lessons with B2 certified teacher, Łódź, Poland

33 C$ /h

Learn Polish with a teacher who has walked the same path — I studied Polish as a foreign language myself and hold a B2 certificate, so I understand exactly where the challenges lie for a non-native learner. I combine clear grammar explanations with plenty of practical conversation from the very first lesson.

A typical class starts with short speaking practice, followed by focused grammar work and practical exercises — dialogues, everyday situations, and authentic materials adapted to your level. I teach adults and teenagers of all levels, from complete beginners to those preparing for B1 or B2 exams.

I currently live in Łódź, Poland, where I also teach at a public secondary school and am completing a Master's degree in Polish Philology at the University of Łódź — combining hands-on teaching experience with ongoing academic study of the language.

Lessons are tailored to each student's pace and goals, in a relaxed, pressure-free atmosphere. I'd love to help you on your journey to learning Polish!

Would you like to learn Russian in a practical and relaxed way?

I am a native Russian speaker with a background in linguistics and translation, offering Russian lessons for beginners and learners who want to improve their speaking confidence.

Lessons can focus on:

everyday Russian and conversation
pronunciation and vocabulary
useful phrases for travel, work and daily life
grammar explained in a simple, practical way
speaking practice based on real-life situations
Russian culture and everyday communication

I adapt the lessons to your level and goals. If you already know some Russian, we can focus mainly on conversation and correcting common mistakes. If you are a complete beginner, we can start from the basics step by step.

My approach is friendly, practical and conversational. The goal is not simply to memorize grammar, but to help you actually use Russian and feel comfortable speaking it.

Lessons are available online, with in-person lessons in Kampala planned for later.

Hi everyone!

I’m from Poland and I’m a huge foreign-language enthusiast. Learning languages is one of my biggest hobbies, and I spend a lot of my free time studying and practicing them. I’ve already had the opportunity to teach some students in Poland, and now I’d love to teach people from Zagreb as well — or anyone interested in learning via webcam!

I’d be happy to help you learn or improve any of the following languages:

German — C1 level, confirmed by a Goethe-Zertifikat. I also have 1.5 years of experience living and communicating in a German-speaking environment.

English — C1 level. I studied Biomedical Engineering in English and I’m also a member of ESN, a student organization where communicating with exchange students from all over the world is an important part of what we do.

Russian — C1 level. In high school, I was preparing for the Russian Language Olympiad, which was unfortunately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Italian — B2 level. I’m currently working towards taking the C1 Italian exam in 2027.

Polish - my native language!

If you’re interested in learning a language, improving your speaking skills, or simply having someone to practice with, feel free to message me! I’d be happy to tell you more about how I teach and arrange a lesson:)

Learn Russian naturally and confidently with a native Russian speaker from Moscow.

I have a pedagogical background and more than 10 years of experience teaching children and adults in an international environment. Although my professional background is primarily in sports education and coaching, teaching, explaining and adapting to each student have been an important part of my work for many years.

My Russian lessons are focused on real communication: speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, understanding native speakers and becoming more confident in everyday conversations.

Lessons are adapted to your individual level, interests and goals. We can work on conversational Russian, pronunciation, everyday vocabulary, reading and comprehension, or simply practice speaking in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

I especially welcome students who want to move beyond textbooks and start using Russian naturally in real life.

Lessons are available for adults and teenagers and can be held online or in person.

Привет! let me tell you why I should be your new russian teacher!
I have gone through a lot of education to call myself a tutor, even though a private tutoring sector nowadays is not regulated by any official standards: I graduated with honours from one of highest-ranked universities, MSU, and I also completed two speciality development courses that were for “Russian as a foreign language” teachers.
I teach Russian in three different languages! French, Italian and English! so therefore, I have experienced mastering 3 foreign languages on my own and this is not easy. the confusion of the structure, the stiffness of the textbook phrasings are frustrating. But with me, a native speaker who has got to see their language from a different perspective, you will actually learn how to get the most of the culture by using the language as your tool, how to read and talk as what you would hear in real life.
The structure of my classes is not your common university lecture. I am building bridges with my students in the form of humour and tailoring each class to each of the students' requests.

I offer individual Russian language lessons for bilingual children online and in person in Helsinki.

Lessons can focus on:
- Learning to read: developing reading skills and confidence.
- Teaching grammar through a communicative approach.
- Spelling and punctuation: improving written Russian.
- Speaking practice through games: developing vocabulary and conversational skills in a fun, engaging way.

Each lesson is tailored to the student’s age, language level, and individual needs!

A little about me :)
I hold a degree in Russian Philology from the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute and have additional training in teaching Russian as a foreign language to children. I also have two years of experience working with children in a bilingual kindergarten and a children’s library.

Would you like to feel more confident speaking Russian? I offer individual online sessions for adults, teenagers, and children aged 7 and above who already have some knowledge of the language.

We can work on everyday vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, and expressing your thoughts more naturally. Topics and activities are chosen around your interests, age, and goals.

A typical session includes a short conversation, a focused activity such as discussing a text or practising a real-life situation, and a review of useful expressions and recurring mistakes.

We can discuss travel, university, work, literature, culture, economics, politics, and many other subjects. For children, I adapt the topics and activities to their age and interests.

I am Konstantin, a native Russian speaker and an Economics student at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. I am beginning my tutoring practice and am highly motivated to prepare thoughtful sessions and help learners progress.

Sessions are mainly in Russian, with simple English support when needed. My English level is approximately B1. These sessions are best suited to learners who can already understand and use some basic Russian.
