Nadia Usynina

Nadia is such a wonderful teacher. She is a professional, she brings so much energy to each class, and she pushes me out of my comfort zone while creating a safe space for making mistakes. I feel lucky that she is my teacher.

Thank you for the brilliant lesson, Nadia! Today, I worked more on my speaking skills, which she shared with me new techniques to improve my pronunciation of hard-sound consonants. As always, Nadia created a supportive environment for me to take risks and grow in my language journey.

Another superb lesson! Nadia is such a stellar teacher: Her patience, encouragement, and joyful presence keeps me motivated in every lesson. My biggest struggle with the Russian language has been pronunciation, but Nadia has taught me SO many tips that I’ve already noticed exponential progress in my speaking. I always look forward to my lessons with Nadia, and I’m excited to learn more from her.

Thank you so much, Nadia, for this lesson. You did exactly what I needed. You encouraged me to speak, corrected my mistakes at just the right moments, wrote down all the vocabulary words, and adapted perfectly to my way of learning. You are a very interesting teacher — through your life experiences, your knowledge, and your way of teaching. Thank you for all the resources and recommendations you give me. Your positivity and energy made this lesson amazing.

Lessons with Nadia have been extremely helpful. She gives me plenty of time to practice speaking, and gives encouragement and feedback.

Our class today went by so fast that one hour felt like just 10 minutes! It's so fun talking with Nadya about vacation, culture, everything. We're going to talk about people on the next class, maybe more about psychology)) so, see you again soon!
