Natasha

I could not hope for a smarter, kinder, funnier, gentler, friendlier, more beautiful and patient teacher than Natasha. If I live to be 120 years old I hope I will still be able to enjoy lessons with her. I'll probably still be trying to get the hang of genitive word cases as well!

Natasha is the best! So far, I have had almost one hundred lessons with her, and every single one was a treat. I am happy and proud of the progress I could make during the last months. And, by the way, Natasha's podcasts on italki are also worth being listened to. Спасибо большое!

Always a fun lesson with Natasha.

I started learning Russian language from absolute zero with Natasha 1.5 years ago, and I'm so happy with the result. Now I can speak with the Russians easily, participate in Russian clubs and chat groups, take part as a translator/interpreter for an event. Even I can cook Russian food! (She's so good in promoting her culture). Simply because Natasha is a perfect teacher. She is very smart, patient, talkative and humorous. And she is always ready to go the extra mile. Although I always feel nervous in every lesson, but it's just the way she drives my subconsciousness to try and be better in each lesson. If only other teachers in Italki were like her, I'd be fluent in other languages too in no time. Спасибо большое Наташа! Оставайся счастливой и здоровой, у нас ещё больше уроков, пока я не стану русским)))

Прекрасно!

In just a short trial class, the teacher helped me, who had almost no basic knowledge of Russian, to gain a basic understanding of the alphabet and pronunciation. She also took me to do several sets of word spelling exercises and dialogue exercises, which fully demonstrated the concept of learning to apply.
