Teaching experience
2019 - 2024
Language TutorAs a language tutor on Italki, I draw from my own challenges of adapting to a new culture and language while living abroad. I understand the nuances of navigating daily life in a non-native tongue and infuse this empathy into personalized Russian lessons. My aim is to equip students with the confidence to embrace and overcome linguistic hurdles, just as I have.

We talked about home renovations, Chinese hieroglyphs, and the difference between dawn and sunrise. At the end of the lesson, Mikhail was talking about the Silk Road and European history, which was interesting to me even though I dislike history, and I have to wait till the next lesson to continue our discussion.

Mikhail is an excellent tutor. I had trial lessons with 5 different teachers before deciding to continue with him. He was by far the most fun.
He's very engaging and encouraging and has a great sense of humor. He's also very good at pacing the lessons to meet your needs and he provides all materials necessary (pdf textbooks, podcasts, memrise, etc).
I highly recommend having classes with him.

Mikhail is a pro at guiding a conversation to help better understand errors and keeping the lesson really productive. He is very good at adapting to the level of the student while also challenging the student further. Mikhail is a great tutor for students who want to feel comfortable in the language.

Cannot recommend Mikhail highly enough! Absolutely fantastic teacher! I've taken a number of lessons with him now, but was really nervous at first....I took Russian 20+ years ago in college and am close to a beginner once again...he set me entirely at ease and established a comfortable environment where I wasn't nervous about trying, speaking and making mistakes. Lessons are always interesting, fly by, and quite fun. Mikhail explains complex ideas beautifully, and makes Russian so much more approachable than I remember from my looong ago university courses. I honestly think I just got by with rote memorization in college and never actually learned countless important concepts....and I am finally, at long last understanding them, thanks to Mikhail. If you're looking for an Excellent, approachable teacher who puts you at ease, and makes learning fun and satisfying, look no further!
