Learn Russian with a Native Speaker — Real Conversations, Clear Explanations, and a Personal Approach
From 52 C$ /h
Hi! My name is Oles, I'm a native Russian speaker, and I'd be happy to help you learn my language.
I've been teaching for many years, although my background is actually in music. I'm a professional classical flutist, and teaching has always been an important part of my life. Over the years, I've worked with students of different ages and backgrounds, and one thing I've learned is that no two people learn in quite the same way.
I was born in Russia, but I've been living abroad for several years now. I speak English fluently, I'm also fluent in Ukrainian, and I'm currently learning Georgian myself. So I know from personal experience how challenging learning a new language can be, especially when you understand the rules but still struggle to express a simple thought in conversation.
That's exactly what I'd like to help you with.
I believe that learning a language should be more than memorizing vocabulary and trying to make sense of endless grammar tables. Of course, grammar matters, and we'll work on it, but the main purpose of a language is to communicate, to understand other people and to be understood.
During our lessons, we'll talk about things that genuinely interest you, gradually build your vocabulary, work on pronunciation, and explore Russian grammar in a way that makes sense. If you're a complete beginner, we can start with the alphabet and your very first sentences. If you already speak some Russian, we'll focus on making your speech more natural, confident, and fluent.
I can explain everything in English whenever necessary, and we'll gradually introduce more Russian into our conversations as you become comfortable with it.
Whether you're learning Russian for your partner, your friends, work, travel, or simply because you're interested in the language and culture, I'll be happy to adapt our lessons to your goals and your pace.
Lessons are held online, individually, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Learn to play the flute with an internationally performing concert artist. Lessons are designed for motivated beginners, advanced students, and adults seeking serious musical development.
You will develop tone quality, professional breath control, technique, musical ear, rhythm, memory, and expressive musical thinking. Lessons also contribute to intellectual development, fine motor coordination, concentration, and artistic confidence.
For beginners and younger students, lessons may begin with the recorder — a simple and effective instrument for developing breathing, articulation, coordination, and basic musical skills before transitioning to the flute. For intermediate and advanced students, professional classical flute training is offered, including repertoire development and audition preparation.
Lessons may include music reading, development of musical style and interpretation, and preparation for concerts, competitions, and auditions. Each lesson is individually tailored to the student’s level, goals, and musical background.
Lessons are available in English, Russian, and Ukrainian.
