Hello everyone! My name is Diana. I am a professional teacher with a passion for languages. Having graduated from Ural Federal University with a degree in linguistics, I know from firsthand experience how to learn and teach languages effectively. Before I started working on italki I had been teaching Russian to my tandem partners in different languages.
Me as a Teacher
Being familiar with English, German and Spanish grammar, I know very well what difficulties people speaking these languages might face as they learn Russian. To learn Russian of course you have to be persistent and focused on your goal but there is a range of methods to make this process vivid, sparkling, exciting and full of curious discoveries. Bearing in mind that learning has to be enjoyable and fulfilling, I help my students find the most effective ways to guide them through Russian.
My lessons & teaching style
I encourage students to speak a lot. We can discuss everyday life, speak about things you are passionate about, comment on videos and small texts addressing global issues.
I provide students with a lot of useful materials to work on grammar and vocabulary. We can work more on specific topics and systematize your knowledge.
We will also work on pronunciation and listening comprehension skills, as they are crucial for a successful dialogue.
The structure of our classes will be highly individual.

I had the pleasure to improve my Russian knowledge while attending more than 400 lessons with my teacher Diana! It is the way she structured her classes that has motivated and inspired me to take so many lessons. While planning her classes, Diana was always considerate of my wishes and stayed very flexible. She even gave classes on public holidays or during the weekend. Her classes included many interacting tasks and offered me the possibility to train orally while addressing plenty of different topics. I could always count on her ability to correct my spoken or written Russian in a gentle way. A huge advantage in my learning process was also that Diana speaks German very well herself. I don’t regret any moment I spent learning Russian with Diana. Her classes became an important part of my daily life. Thank you Diana for your patience, relaxed atmosphere during your classes, as well as for all your efforts!

I really like Diana. Today was a challenging one for me, but I thoroughly enjoy it. I feel like I've been trapped in a beginners Russian "cocoon" for such a long time, and Diana has brought me out of that in less than a month. The homework exercises she creates are adapted from the topic/subject we are learning.
I really appreciate how she intentionally creates exercises that concentrate on my weak areas (which quite frankly is everything right now), specifically Russian case endings. She doesn't rely on the use of tables to memorize these endings, which works for me. Lately, I can't remember endings simply by memorizing grammar tables, but in casual sentences, I do. Her exercises are casual and gradual learning activities and her explanations are concise and LOGICAL. Most instructors spend lots of time giving textbook explanations--without the practical. Diana provides both.
To sum up in this session alone, she has answered 6 years of questions I've had in one session.
