Hi! My name is Maria and I’m a native Russian speaker. I’m a person who LOVES languages and different cultures!
My bachelor's degree is in teaching Russian as a native and foreign language. I also work as a teacher in an online school and teach Russian to bilingual children. I have students who have successfully passed ТРКИ (Test of Russian as a Foreign Language - TORFL) and GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education - Russian). At the moment I'm in the "Technology in Education" program at university in Siberia (The National Research Tomsk State University).
I'm in love with my job, so I have a lot of energy to help with your language jorney!
We will definitely find common ground😺Me as a Teacher
My teaching style depends on your goal🎯
I love helpful lessons and use effective textbooks, learning platforms, and my own materials (presentations, worksheets, tests).
The grammar exercises are very useful, but I believe the creative and conversational aspects are meaningful as well. I have a plan for each class but I’m open to any suggestions and ideas.
We will watch videos, play language games and have fun. It definitely won’t be boring!
By the way, are you ready to get funny pictures in our chat?😸My lessons & teaching style
On Italki I offer 3 types of lesson: Speaking practice, Russian cases and General Russian [details in the lesson description].
I believe that communication is very important for learning any language. It may be difficult at first, but with time you will be able to speak Russian confidently. You will be immersed in the language environment from the first class✔
Here I just want to say that your attitude means a lot!
Thanks for your trust, can’t wait to see you!My teaching material

Maria is a brillant teacher. I followed Maria's lessons for more than a year, and my russian level has considerably increased. Maria provides an exceptionnal support for the grammar and the conversation. Thanks to Maria's help, I managed to pass the ТРКИ В1 and I feel very confident in passing the B2 level in june, which already represents a huge level of confidence and knowledge in the russian language.
In addition to being a patient and supportive teacher, Maria is also a kind and clever person: Maria has all the necessary qualities to bring you to the very best of the russian language, and I would strongly recommend any students to get Maria's classes.
