Marianna

It was one of best learning experience in italki :) Maryam is really smart, interesting person and I really enjoy our talk. She was well-prepared for our lesson and she discussed with precisely what I expect from our cooperation. I think she could be a great teacher to ambitious students that really want to boost their language skills and speak Russian on a good level :)

Marianna is a great language tutor for students of the Russian language who speak English and/or Spanish. She helped me review the alphabet before I practiced reading in Russian. After my first lesson today, I was able to recall vocabulary words that I knew once before but had forgotten; I noticed an improvement in my reading skills by the end of the lesson. Marianna is friendly, easy to talk with, and patient with her students. I highly recommend her.

Mirianna is an exceptional educator with an engaging teaching style. Her step-by-step approach and comprehensive material make her an asset to any classroom. 😊 I was comfortable learning with she boost my confidence.

I'm writing this review around seven months after my first lesson with Marianna and I can say that I have thoroughly enjoyed our lessons together. Marianna is a friendly, outgoing tutor. Aside from her native Russian and Romanian, Marianna also speaks some English and Spanish and has traveled across Europe from Spain in the west to Russia in the east; she is knowledgeable and has a fascinating perspective that I enjoy listening to. I'd like to highlight how helpful Marianna has been in teaching me casual, informal, everyday Russian phrases. A lot of Italki tutors use more formal, academic language which isn't always as helpful when, like me, your immediate exposure to Russian is in informal contexts around town. Additionally I appreciate the flexibility that Marianna has exhibited with regard to our lessons. At times I've needed to reschedule our sessions at the last minute and Marianna has never held it against me. I highly recommend studying Russian with Marianna! Спасибо большое!

Another great lesson with Marianna, interesting topics, relaxed conversation, all in all a good experience.

Very good teacher, relaxed atmosphere, the conversation felt easy and natural despite my very broken Russian. I appreciate that she prepared some materials and also corrected my mistakes (instead of just letting me speak). All in all a very positive experience, and I plan to take more classes with Marianna.
