About Me

InterestsPets & AnimalsTechScience
I am a Russian native speaker and was born in the USSR, but that experience was very short-lived. I studied software engineering initially, but decided to pursue education in languages (English and French) both in my home country and in France. I also studied German a long time ago, but I never spoke well enough. I like swimming, cooking and being exposed to complex ideas. I have a love and hate relationship with refined carbohydrates.

I've been taking regular lessons from Dasha for several months now and feel her teaching is only getting better and better over time. I could not be happier with my choice of teachers and would highly recommend her to anyone studying Russian.

I finished 7 months worth of lessons with Dasha. I went from knowing the cyrillic alphabet and possessing a very limited vocabulary, to being comfortable with day to day Russian and having our lessons be conducted almost completely in Russian. Lessons were really fun, and involved a lot of conversation, reading and writing practice, as well as discussions about Russian and Ukrainian culture, food, and entertainment. I looked forward to them every week, making learning enjoyable and not a chore that I would get bored of and give up on Dasha encouraged me to be well-rounded and made sure I gave attention to all aspects of language learning - productive and receptive - covering speaking, writing, reading and listening which helped me advance really quickly. Dasha would also advise me to take breaks as necessary to ensure that I did not burn out I am immensely grateful for the lessons I've had with Dasha and I absolutely recommend her as a teacher, 9000%! Thank you so much again!

I couldn't have found a better person to guide me through the process of finding a better place to live in Odessa. Dasha helped me providing me better resources for me to save money while I stay in Odessa. Thanks a lot for the tips and links and looking forward to talking to you more in the future.

Dasha is always amazing, this time even more so when she created a method to embed my vocabulary challenges into a fictional text that solidified my learning in an innovative way.
