Hi, I'm Kristina and I'm passionate about cultures. I was born and currently live in Russia. Web design, languages, traveling, music, and psychology are my hobbies. I'm open-minded, my students and I discuss a wide range of topics, starting from simple everyday issues and finishing with global or philosophical ones. So, don't be shy to share your interests with me :)
Me as a Teacher
I received a Bachelor's Degree in Linguistics first, then started tutoring here on Italki which I found extremely fascinating so that I decided to get more specialized education in Teaching Russian. I get inspired by each lesson with my students. I adore linguistics, the language structure and can easily explain the points that students find hard to understand. Also, I feel better that I can somehow help people learn one of the most difficult languages.
My lessons & teaching style
INFORMAL TUTORING:
• speaking practice only (we discuss different topics, I correct and explain your grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation mistakes)
• as it's speaking practice, I expect you know at least the basics of Russian
• no structure, no books, no homework
• if you wish to do another activity, you're welcome to come with your materials
• you can also ask me to explain to you a grammar topic you have difficulties with, but please notify me about it in advance

My Russian improved a lot within a short period of time thanks to Kristina. She is a great teacher. Her lessons are well structured. She always pays attention to mistakes and corrects them without interrupting, providing a list of new words and expressions at the end.

I enjoyed the class! Seems like a great teacher, with a very clear and straightforward way to explain things. Given the short amount of time, I've learned quite a lot.

Very professional teaching! 10/10 recommend.
Kristina speaks perfect English and uses a mix of grammar-focused and conversational lessons. This has been very effective so far as the conversational part allows me to learn what to actually say to my Russian friends and the grammar part ensures that I am speaking proper Russian.
