She is one of the best Russian teachers out there who teaches extraordinarily well. Words are not enough to describe her teaching. I was only her student for a free trial since my Russian is very bad. And I must say, she teaches really well. With interactive lessons. She even asked my about doubts and stuff every few minutes. She is an amazing teacher. She didn't ask me to review her. I just wanted to let you know... She's a great teacher. I would definitely recommend.

Привет! Hello everyone! My name is Ksenia, I am a Russian native speaker and a certified teacher of Russian language.
I have been teaching the Russian language for over ten years and this is not only my favourite profession, but also my hobby. I also enjoy learning other languages and enjoy photography as art. As a photographer, I take part in international exhibitions and enjoy learning about the cultures of other countries, which helps me in working with my students from other countries.
Qualifications & Experience
I have more than 10 years experience in teaching Russian for foreigners (working as a private teacher by Skype and Adobe Connect and in Russian language schools in Kiev).
Also, I have a linguistic high education received from the Kiev National Linguistic University. I have experience of teaching Russian for students of any level - from beginners to C1, so I am sure, I can help you!
I really love Russian and I am glad that this is my native language and I am happy to share my knowledge with students from other countries. Among my students were students from more than 20 countries, and for each of them, I find a special approach, taking into account the peculiarities of culture and the peculiarities of the students' national language.
Each student is a unique person and I try to find a special approach to help them master the Russian language as quickly as possible.
Teaching Approach
My activities are aimed primarily at the result (so the level A0 will be able in 5 lessons to talk about yourself, your family, your city and communicate in public places - shops, restaurants, on the street using main grammar rules)
In addition to general programs, I also propose specially designed programs:
- business program (for levels B1 and B2),
- reading Russian literature (level B1 and B2),
- literary translation (level A2, B1, B2),
- preparing for the exam (a special program for students studying Russian language (all levels),
- preparation for passing certified tests (all levels),
- special program for teens.
All my students will also have a special interactive dictionary Quizlet in their mobile phone,which helps them to learn words very quickly at any time and place.
My lessons always pass in the friendly and pleasant atmosphere and I will be very happy to meet you!
