Want to speak Russian confidently but feel stuck? This course is designed for learners who already know basic Russian (A2 level or higher) but need real conversation practice.

This is not a traditional lesson. This is a 1-on-1 Russian conversation session with a native speaker, focused on helping you speak naturally and fluently.

During each session, you will:
- practice speaking Russian in real-life situations
- improve your fluency and confidence
- learn to express your thoughts more naturally
- receive gentle corrections without pressure

You can choose your preferred format:

💬 Free conversation
Talk about everyday topics such as lifestyle, travel, work, or hobbies.

🎯 Topic-based conversation
Practice specific situations, for example:
- ordering food in a restaurant
- traveling and airports
- meeting new people and small talk
- workplace communication
- daily life situations

After each session you will receive:
- key corrections
- useful phrases and expressions
- relevant vocabulary from the session

This course is suitable for A2, B1, and B2 learners. You should already be able to:
- understand basic conversations
- form simple sentences
- communicate at a basic level

The session is conducted mainly in Russian. English support is available if needed, so you never feel stuck.

This course is ideal if you:
- want to improve your spoken Russian
- understand Russian but cannot speak confidently
- want real conversation practice with a native speaker
- prefer speaking over grammar exercises
Important! This is not a grammar-focused course. The main goal is to help you start speaking Russian confidently and naturally.

Hi! I’m Maria, an English tutor with 5+ years of teaching experience, a confirmed C2 level, and a particular focus on advanced learners, IELTS preparation, university studies, and professional communication.

For the past three years, I have been living in Vienna, where English is part of my everyday academic and professional life. I work in an international environment and am currently completing my PhD in English. Before moving to Austria, I worked in IT and media in Moscow, where English was also an essential part of my work.

Who I work with

I mainly teach teenagers and adults from A2 to C2, including:

- students preparing for IELTS and other international exams
- applicants planning to study at universities abroad
- university students who need stronger academic English
- professionals who want to communicate more confidently at work
- advanced learners who feel they have reached a plateau
- teachers and tutors working towards C1–C2 English

My students have successfully entered universities in Austria, Spain and other European countries, moved abroad and started using English confidently in everyday life and at work. I also work with IT professionals who need English for meetings, negotiations and communication in international teams.

My teaching approach

My background is in history, and my university education included pedagogy and teaching practice. I have also taught philosophy and history at university, so explaining complex ideas in a clear and structured way is something I genuinely enjoy.

At the same time, I don't believe language learning should revolve around memorising theory.

Our lessons are built around practice.

I select textbooks and materials according to your level, goals and interests, but I also regularly use real-world materials: articles, videos, podcasts, interviews, films and other authentic content.

A typical learning programme may include:

- speaking practice and discussion
- detailed work on difficult grammar and vocabulary
- listening and reading with authentic materials
- essay and academic writing
- reviews, short posts and other practical writing tasks
- exam strategies and IELTS practice
- vocabulary for more natural and precise C1–C2 communication

I pay particular attention to writing because strong written English is useful far beyond exams. It matters at university, at work and in everyday professional communication.

When you make a mistake, I don't just correct it. I explain why something sounds unnatural or incorrect, show you other examples and help you find alternatives. With advanced students, we also work extensively with synonyms, collocations and phrasing that can make your English more precise and natural.

All lesson materials are organised on an individual Miro board, so you can easily return to previous topics, corrections, vocabulary and assignments.

Lessons built around you

There is no universal programme that works for everyone.

During our first lesson, I will learn more about your goals, experience and current level. Based on that, I prepare materials for our work and continue adapting them as we go.

If something is too easy, too difficult or simply boring, we change it.

I am a calm, patient and supportive teacher. I can explain a difficult concept step by step, but I also give students space to think, speak and take an active role in shaping their own learning.

And because I am interested in everything from cinema and theatre to philosophy and psychology, we are unlikely to run out of things to discuss.

I particularly enjoy working with students who have a real reason for learning English — an exam, university, relocation, a new job or simply the desire to finally feel confident using the language they have studied for years.

If that sounds like you, book a lesson and tell me what you want to achieve. We’ll look at your current level, discuss your goals and decide what the most useful next step should be.

About the Lessons

Professional Classical Singing Lessons Online or In Person in Vienna

Would you like to improve your vocal technique, develop your classical or operatic repertoire, prepare for an audition, or feel more confident performing in front of an audience?

I offer professional, individually tailored singing lessons for all ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced and professional singers. Drawing on my experience as an opera singer and soloist in international opera houses, I adapt each lesson to the individual voice, goals and musical background of the student.

What we can work on:

Vocal Technique and Breathing
Developing a healthy, free and well-supported voice, with attention to breathing, resonance, registration and vocal coordination.

Repertoire and Audition Preparation
Choosing repertoire that suits your individual voice and preparing songs, arias, auditions, concerts and performances.

Interpretation and Character Development
Exploring the meaning, emotions and dramatic context behind the music to create a convincing and personal interpretation.

Stage Presence and Acting
Developing confidence, physical freedom, communication and dramatic presence on stage.

Diction and Pronunciation
Detailed work on pronunciation and singing diction in German, English, Italian and Russian.

Public Speaking and Voice Confidence

I also work with people who want to improve their speaking voice and become more confident in public speaking, even without a singing background.

We can work on breathing, vocal projection, articulation, clarity, posture and presence, helping you speak with a voice that feels natural, confident and expressive. This can be particularly useful for presentations, interviews, teaching, professional speaking or overcoming nervousness when speaking in front of others.

Lesson Options

In-person lessons in Vienna.
Online lessons via Zoom or another suitable platform
Lessons for beginners, advanced students and professional singers

If desired, a professional pianist can also be arranged for repertoire, audition or performance preparation.

My aim is to help every student discover the full potential of their individual voice while developing solid technique, musical expression and confidence.
