Hello! I’m a passionate Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL) teacher with professional experience in university teaching and online education.

I teach Russian at a linguistic university and work with students from all over the world. I have also gained teaching experience in Vienna, which has broadened my international perspective and helped me better understand the needs of students from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

I truly love my profession and enjoy helping people discover the Russian language and culture!

My teaching approach

My lessons are communicative, interactive and tailored to each student’s individual goals, interests and language level. I believe that learning a language should be both effective and enjoyable.

During our lessons, we will:

• Develop speaking and listening skills through real-life conversations.
• Improve grammar and vocabulary in a clear and practical way.
• Work on pronunciation and natural Russian speech.
• Explore Russian culture, traditions and everyday expressions.
• Use authentic materials, interesting topics and engaging activities.

I combine a structured academic approach with a friendly and supportive atmosphere. I always encourage students to speak, ask questions and make mistakes without being afraid.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner, I will help you build confidence and make steady progress.

Let’s make learning Russian an enjoyable journey together!

Russian Language Lessons Tailored to Your Goals – From Everyday Communication to Legal Russian
I offer personalised online Russian lessons for students of all ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners. Whether you want to learn Russian for professional purposes, improve your conversational skills, help your child discover a new language, or reconnect with your cultural roots, I will create lessons adapted to your individual needs, interests and learning pace.
Specialised Legal Russian
With a background in legal education and professional experience in the legal field, I offer specialised Russian language lessons for lawyers, law students, legal professionals and anyone interested in working with Russian-speaking clients or understanding legal terminology in Russian.
My legal background allows me to go beyond ordinary language teaching and introduce you to professional vocabulary, legal terminology, formal communication, document-related language and practical situations encountered in legal environments. Lessons can be tailored to your professional specialisation and objectives.
Russian for Children and Adults
I also enjoy working with students from different backgrounds and age groups. My approach is flexible and student-centred:
For children: engaging, age-appropriate lessons that develop vocabulary, pronunciation, listening and speaking skills through interactive activities, games and interesting topics.
For adults: practical and structured lessons focused on everyday communication, grammar, confidence in speaking, travel, work or personal interests.
For heritage speakers: an opportunity to strengthen existing Russian language skills, improve grammar and expand vocabulary.
For professionals: specialised language training adapted to your career and communication needs.
A Personal and International Approach
Having lived abroad and experienced life in an international environment, I understand the challenges of learning and using a foreign language in everyday life. I appreciate cultural differences and know how important it is to feel comfortable communicating in another language.
As a parent, I also understand the importance of patience, encouragement and adapting the learning process to a child's personality and developmental stage.
My educational background, professional experience and international life experience allow me to combine a structured approach to teaching with an understanding of different learning needs.
My Teaching Philosophy
I believe that learning a language should be practical, enjoyable and meaningful. My goal is not simply to teach grammar and vocabulary, but to help you feel confident using Russian in real-life situations.
Every student is different, so I adapt my lessons to your level, goals and interests. Whether you need Russian for your career, studies, family, travel or simply for the pleasure of learning a new language, I would be happy to guide you on your journey.

Mistakes are welcome! They're a natural part of learning, and every lesson is an opportunity to grow.
