I have studied Russian with Natalia for quite some time and she is an excellent teacher. All of her lessons are very well-prepared, interesting and tailor-made to my level. She has a passion for her language which is infectious. I cannot recommend her highly enough. My Russian language skills have improved in leaps and bounds since I started studying with Natalia.

Certified professional Russian and English language teacher with more than 35 years experience, MA in Linguistics and Teaching Languages as well as Cambridge CELTA Teaching Certificate. My priorities are my students' confidence and convenience while studying, and their satisfaction with the final results.
I love teaching, it has been my life's work which I've been doing for more than 35 years. For me it’s more than just a profession, it’s a state of mind and soul, when you as a teacher and a person want to constantly grow and develop, open new doors and look into new cultures and it isn’t just for self-development but to share with the students and carry them with you. “You are a person as many times as many languages you know” - said one wise man. I’d like to share the knowledge of Russian with my students and open the door to this huge world called Russia.

Преподавание – это работа всей моей жизни и я её люблю. Для меня это - больше чем профессия - это состояние души и склад ума, при котором ты, как преподаватель и человек, постоянно стремишься расти и развиваться, открывать новые двери и познавать новые культуры, и всё это не только для самосовершенствования, но чтобы увлекать и вести за собой своих студентов. Я – ответственный преподаватель, русский - мой родной язык.
