10-years experienced university lecturer of Russian for international students. Personal methodology. The author of students book

Lera was my Russian language teacher as foreign language for over four years when I was studying bachelor's in Russian federation. With seven years of teaching experience, she has a deep, solid understanding of Russian grammar, paired with a strong command of English grammar, which makes learning with her clear and effective.
Lera is not only highly knowledgeable but also a compassionate, understanding, and dedicated teacher. She genuinely cares about the success and well-being of each of her students, always offering her help with patience and kindness. She goes beyond simply teaching Russian—she takes time to mentor her students, supporting them not only academically but also personally. Her loveable personality and willingness to help with matters outside of language studies demonstrate her generous nature and commitment to helping others grow.
Lera has been a wonderful teacher and mentor, as well as a role model. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from such a skilled and kind-hearted individual, and I would highly recommend her to any student seeking an exceptional Russian or English language instructor.

I studied Russian with Valeria for two years in my university’s Master’s in International Relations program and it was fantastic! I got a strong sense that Valeria cared about each student at an individual level and, furthermore, her knowledge of Russian grammar and ability to present it in a digestible way are superb!

Valeria has been my Russian language teacher from 2017 until the end of 2020, in Russia, at Lobachevsky University. Thanks to her skills and experience, I have become fluent in Russian, overcoming all linguistic obstacles and barriers, and delving into various fields in Russia without difficulty in communicating with Russians.

Valeria never hesitated to answer all questions and explain concepts in multiple ways until the idea was conveyed clearly to the recipient. What also distinguishes her is her mastery of the English language, making it easy for her to teach Russian to someone who doesn't speak the language.

I also noticed her passion for her specialization, and as they say, someone who loves their work excels in it. I highly recommend studying with Valeria; you won't regret it.

Valeriia was my Russian as a second language professor between the years 2019 and 2023 during my bachelors. Under her guidance I cleared my B2 language certification which later helped with me with employment as well as general self-confidence when interacting with native speakers. She actively uses context devised methods that help sincerely with everyday conversations as well as formal interactions.

Hello! I know Valeriia as a teacher for a long time: about 9 years. She is very attentive, responsive, patient teacher, who always helps her students to solve language challenges and gives motivation to them don't give up.
