Kirill Makarov

Professor Makarov is an outstanding teacher. At the beginning of the first class, I knew zero Russian not even the alphabet, but by the end, I was making sentences. They were simple sentences, but I have been speaking Russian since class one! The classes are incredibly interactive, and the materials he sends after each session are extremely helpful. I am amazed to discover how many grammar rules Russian has, but I see my progress with each class. The classes are so motivating, making every step of the learning process enjoyable and rewarding.

Awesome lesson as usual. Kiril had several, different types of activities for exercises, e.g., translating Russian> English and English > Russian, describing pictures, and multiple choice exercises on interpretations of questions. All very engaging and effective. Thank you for your help. See you at the next lesson.

Great teacher, very patient

I can fully recommend Kirill. He provides good material and also takes care that stuff we learned is repeated. He also customize material based on the content where I had problems with. Thank you Kirill!

Malgré qu'il ne parle pas français et que je ne parle pas un anglais parfait, j'ai pu profiter d'une approche simple mais au demeurant qui semble efficace. Le professeur est sérieux et à un langage simple et direct, j'avais réellement la sensation de parler avec un russe, certains prof changent leur diction. Je vais encore faire un cours d'essai avec lui et sûrement prendre une carte de cours. Excellente expérience pour le moment.

It was a nice first lesson, with lots of talking and reading. Kirill was very patient and I look forward to our next lesson!
