Why Learn Russian Today?

It is the first language in space! Learning Russian opens the window to Russian Culture. Russian stretches both your mind and expands your international knowledge with Regional Studies. Before the first meeting, I will reach out to the student directly to get acquainted, understand the goals of the course, discuss the schedule, and equip the student with material / textbooks.

I have a Master's Degree in Philology, and PhD in Methods of Foreign Language Teaching from Moscow State University!! We will learn together!

Skill 1: Writing in Russian

Cyrillic, created by saints – It is the secret code to the Russian Soul!
Русский Алфавит, кириллица
Write like Tolstoy, (take your time)
Писать по-русски (как Толстой?)

Skill 2: Reading Russian

Learn Cyrillic, in a short period of time. Read Pushkin, who is “Russian everything”, and very hard to translate!
Читать по-русски, даже Пушкина. (Пушкин -русское всё)

Skill 3: - Speaking Russian

The course focuses on conversational skills with solid foundation.
Говорить по-русски. Поговорим по душам?

Skill 4: Understanding Russian Culture

The Russian soul --Умом Росссию не понять! - Fyodor Tyutchev

Born in the heart of Russian, The Russian word for red, " Красный" was, in the past, used to describe beautiful, good, or honorable. I was born in Красное, in Central Russia. I am an educated native Russian, with a Master's Degree in Philology, and PhD in Methods of Foreign Language Teaching from Moscow State University. I teach Russian with 15 years of hands-on experience in one-on-one teaching, classroom settings and intensive courses for business professionals. My students are lifelong friends.

Very Respectfully, Svetlana

PS, I was an organizer and coordinator of Study Abroad in Russia, the students complemented it as the trip of their life. I travel to Russia annually, this year I visited lake Baikal. It is an experience to share!
