Georgetown university student In History and film studies, as well as a Russian native (ten years lived in Russia).

Maxim was extremely patient and encouraged me to practice my speaking. He was also responsive when we couldn’t meet in person.

Maxim is great at getting into the nitty gritty topics And making them easy to relate to and understand. He will definitely keep you engaged. Wonderful person to work with!

I study with Maxim at university. He is a native Russian speaker who is very knowledgeable about world affairs. He will make the lessons interesting with lively discussions. And he will be very patient with you, helping you to improve your language skills no matter your starting point.

Maxim is not only a brilliant Russian speaker, but he is truly excited to share all of his knowledge of the Russian culture with anyone willing to listen. Maxim approaches teaching with a combination of empathy and levity, ensuring that his students understand that he is there to support them while never forgetting to make their learning experience fun and enjoyable. Maxim approaches his craft with a sense of pride and determination, meaning that when you or your child decide to take up lessons with him, you will undoubtedly come out a better Russian speaker

Maxim is an incredibly passionate and knowledgeable tutor. He has a great amount of compassion that allows for comfort in learning, but he also has an interest in dialogue that makes asking questions exciting. Definitely a great option for a tutor!
