Anastasiia

After three lessons (and more to come), I am very impressed by how each lesson is well prepared. Anastasiia manages to create new material while blending seamlessly some small targeted repetitions of mistakes I have made in the previous lessons, which makes it very tailored to my learning. The lessons flow easily, at a good rhythm, and are very effective :)

This lady is the best tutor I've found on this site, no matter the language. This is due to her charisma, empathy, and (obviously) the fact that I can sputter through a whole lesson talking/listening pure Russian. She doesn't use easy translations of vocabulary in English to save time/effort, she'll teach the word by giving example sentences in Russian. She never had to ask 'what do you want to learn? what is your level?' because she deciphered it herself and then pushed me farther than other teachers would. She gives me full attention and interest and laughs at my dumb jokes and gives plenty of homework in a concise Google Doc. Though I have to step away from Russian for a little bit, I will immediately rebook lessons with her. I know that I haven't had a huge amount of lessons with her yet, but I don't write long, cringe reviews for nothing. Usually teachers are never extraordinary, but sometimes you get really lucky :D

My lesson with Anastasiia was fun and educational. Anastasiia proceeds at an efficient, but not excessive pace, so the lesson is very productive, yet not overwhelming. Although Anastasiia has a high level of English proficiency, I was very pleased that Anastasiia conducted the lesson almost entirely in Russian. She seems to accurately sense of a student's level of comprehension and adjust her delivery accordingly. When I didn't understand, she explained using Russian synonyms and examples, which is super helpful in connecting related words and phrases. I'm grateful that Anastasiia regularly corrects my grammar, pronunciation, and word choice, and she takes great notes, which are very helpful for review. Thank you for teaching, Anastasiia!

Anastasia and I have been working together for more than a year and a half. Anastasia is not only an experienced teacher and an expert of the russian language, she also exactly fits my needs: conversation, translation verification and discussion of topics that interest me. During our lessons Anastasia writes all corrections in real-time in the chat. Last but not least Anastasia is patient, attentive and always friendly. We will soon have 150 lessons together (60 mn and 90 mn) and I cannot see my further study of the russian language without her support and help.

It's wild to think that this year is almost over! This was a tough year for me, but having your support and cheerful attitude was so helpful and encouraging. My Russian journey still has a ways to go, but I've made such strides this year, it's exciting! I greatly appreciate our lessons together and how much you've worked to help me. This year was so wonderful with you, I can't wait to see what 2025 brings us. Большое спасибо! С Наступающим Новыми годом!

I highly recommend Anastasiia as a Russian teacher! Her lessons are incredibly engaging and so much more effective than working through a textbook. She has taken the time to understand my goals and tailors each session to match my learning style, while making every lesson both fun and productive. Anastasiia is always patient and brings a positive attitude, creating a perfect learning environment. Moreover, her explanations are clear and easy to understand, something that I have struggled with previous teachers. I’m making real progress thanks to her!
