Irina is an exceptional Russian teacher whose patience and structured approach significantly enhance the learning experience. Her classes are well-organized, incorporating a balanced mix of grammar, vocabulary, and listening exercises etc. that cater to all aspects of language learning. Irina applies just the right amount of pressure to encourage progress while ensuring that all questions are thoroughly explained, making complex concepts accessible. Her encouraging demeanor not only boosts my confidence but also motivates continuous learning. Highly recommended for anyone looking to deeply understand and enjoy learning Russian.

Irina is an exceptional Russian teacher who has made learning the language a truly enjoyable and rewarding experience. Her patience, expertise, and enthusiasm are contagious, and she has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into understandable and engaging lessons. With Irina's guidance, I've seen significant improvement in my language skills and gained a deeper appreciation for Russian culture. Her dedication, encouragement, and supportive approach have made me feel confident and motivated to continue learning. If you're looking for a talented and inspiring teacher, look no further than Irina! She's the best! Thank you so much! I look forward to our next lesson!

Irina‘s ability to motivate and guide me through the strenuous process of improving my Russian is remarkable. Her advice and encouragement help me greatly to focus on making gradual progress every day and to stay patient in the face of my still rather rudimentary language skills. I would strongly recommend her to anyone striving to level up their Russian if it wasn’t for the fact that I hate the idea of other learners taking up all of her time. ;)

I've already taken around ten lessons with Irina on Italki. Irina helped me prepare an exam, which involved to be able to write short essays in russian on different topics. She also makes sure that her student speaks most of the time during the discussions, and she has always pushed me to reformulate my sentences, instead of only giving me the words I couldn't find. I recommend her teaching lessons if you want to improve your oral or written practice of the russian language and I personally enjoyed every lesson so far!

J'apprécie les cours avec Irina car l'atmosphère est détendue et je peux travailler à mon rythme sans me sentir jugé. Elle parle très bien français, ce qui est utile quand on a un niveau de débutant en russe. Elle me fait parler et me corrige en tenant compte de mes connaissances. Elle écrit tous les mots rencontrés dans le chat que je récupère pour réviser plus tard.

I had a wonderful Russian conversation class with Irina. I highly recommend her lessons!
