I lived in Brazil for several years, I teach Russian and Portuguese. I work with students of different levels and any age.

Vera has been my Russian teacher for more than a year. She is very good at teaching and has an excellent command of the Portuguese language, with clear pronunciation and accent, which helps a lot during the Russian lessons.

I definitely recommend Vera as a Russian teacher. She uses very good teaching books and materials, and the classes are dynamic, practicing listening, reading, speaking, and comprehension skills.

Vera is an excellent tutor who thinks outside the box and does what works on an individual basis. She creates her own lessons and does not depend solely on a textbook. Vera is a well-traveled, well-educated, well-rounded, and smart individual and teacher. If I cannot make a day and time for a lesson, she will get in touch with me and try another day and time. Vera's lessons are very affordable, and you're getting excellent lessons for your money. I strongly recommend Vera. I have been her student for almost 2 years now.

Classes with her are never boring: she always brings curiosities and facts about Russia besides the actual content, and it’s so cool and interesting that we don’t even notice the time passing! Plus, she explains everything in a very understandable way for foreigners, using everyday examples and even examples from our own country; she has already visited several countries, so she has plenty of knowledge to help us. Learning a new language is always a challenge, but with Vera, it becomes fun and enjoyable; best teacher ever!

Vera is an amazing tutor who goes out of her way to make sure you feel comfortable, no matter what level you are at with your new language. She will take time to make sure you understand what she has taught. Great at providing a mix of structured grammar and informal conversation......thoroughly recommended!
