Albina

I continue to be impressed by Albina's teaching skills. She is patient, pleasant and easy to communicate with. She has obviously put a great deal of time into the supplemental material she uses. I chose well when I selected her as my teacher.

In a month and ten days Albina led me on my learning journey through the Russian language. We started from scratch and we just completed the A1 level. Lessons are well tailored to my needs and interests; she is a kind and patient teacher and at the same time she's able to focus on my weak points, helping me to review material and take things from the right perspective. The words of Benjamin Franklin: "tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn" are very well suited to describe Albina's approach to teaching.

I really enjoy her lessons. She is always ready for lessons with pictures, videos and many topics for discuss. She is one of the best teacher that I have met on Italki. I always look forward to classes. I can recommend her for all english learners!

In nearly a year of lessons, Albina has been positive and encouraging. Even on days when I performed poorly, she has always been patient and pleasant. She allows me to make small mistakes without comment and corrects bigger errors gently. I always leave a lesson feeling good about what we have accomplished.

In less than a year, I am having basic Russian conversations with Albina. She teaches in a comfortable, patient manner. Her pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary are equal to that of a person who speaks English as their first language. I would recommend her highly as a teacher of either language.

She truly cares about helping me improve my Russian and I've improved so much! Without her I would never have reached this stage. I am so grateful to her💕
