I have been tutoring and teaching the Russian Language for the past ten years to adult professionals in the U.S. for such governmental agencies as the Department of State, Foreign Service Institute, USID, Department of Defense, and many others for a wide range of language levels: from very beginner to advanced. My tutees and students successfully completed Russian courses in George Washington University, George Town, American University, William and Mary, Northern Virginia Community College, and University of Maryland.

My expertise:

Happy to help college students, since I know the college Russian program from the inside out.

If you want to speak Russian, work on your accent with a Russian native speaker from Russia with many years of experience. If you want to be tutored by a professional, who is always prepared for your lessons and cares about your progress, contact me and I will be happy to help!

I love teaching and helping with the language because I enjoy explaining grammar concepts and cultural nuances to my students.
