I have a background in teaching English. However, for many years, I worked in the fashion industry, initially as an editor of a fashion magazine and later in marketing and communications of various brands. I currently live in Milan and am enjoying studying Italian. This experience has reminded me of how important it is to practice a foreign language with native speakers. It has also inspired me to offer myself as a conversational partner for those looking to improve their Russian. I have a wide range of interests, love traveling, and am genuinely interested in other people and cultures. I believe we will find common ground and have meaningful conversations.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I find it crucial to perzonalize my classes, adapting them to the needs, interests and moods of my students. My teaching style also includes clear explanations, the ability to motivate, empathy, and a relaxed atmosphere.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I prioritize conversational practice in all my classes, regardless of my students' proficiency level. If you are beyond the beginner stage, I will only speak Russian during our classes, encouraging you to do the same. Together, we’ll work on boosting your confidence and fluency in speaking the new language. Just relax and feel free to make mistakes, because they are an essential part of progress.
Elena is an excellent teacher. She listens patiently, corrects when necessary, suggests better ways of expression and actively contributes to our conversation by recounting her own experiences. I find her classes stimulating and enjoyable.

I have been enjoying my speaking lessons with Elena. She has taught me several phrases to use in everyday speech, and takes my hobbies and interests into consideration as discussion topics for our lessons. Elena is also very considerate of making sure that I can understand everything that she says since the entire lesson is held in Russian. Speaking Russian is my weakest skill, but I have noticed some improvement in my speaking and pronunciation after a few lessons. I highly recommend other students to come to Elena for speaking lessons!
