Russian with a Native Speaker | Conversation, Pronunciation & Real-Life Russian

From 74 C$ /h

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.

Extra information

No special materials are required. Lessons are tailored to your level, interests and personal goals. Before our first lesson, feel free to tell me what you would most like to improve.

My name is Andrey and I’m a native Russian 🇷🇺 teacher living in Paris. My extensive experience allows me to vary my teaching styles. The communicative approach is the cornerstone of my teaching style but I also place a strong emphasis on pronunciation, especially when it comes to teaching Russian. For any language, I tend to select teaching materials that align with the student's personal or professional interests.

Take a look at some of my reviews (not all of them are here) and let them paint the picture for you.

In terms of my background, I have degrees in teaching French and English, and I've also studied legal translation and IT law. I've been immersed in language teaching for nearly 13 years now. My passion lies in both learning and teaching languages.

I worked with English-speaking executives from various private and public institutions, including banks and government administrations. They all now speak Russian. I know how to quickly adjust to changes in teaching methods depending on your goals. Whether you’re looking to practice conversational Russian, improve your pronunciation, prepare for an exam or a job interview I’d be happy to help you.

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:)
