About
Hello, I’m Natalia – your Russian language tutor with BA in languages and 15 years of on-line teaching experience.
I’m an optimist and see a positive side in all situations. Why don’t you use the lockdown time to learn Russian to prepare for future trips or work – I have tons of on-line materials to help you learn remotely.
My on-line classes are both informative and fun as well as can prepare you for formal language tests.
I am a native Russian from Moscow, but for the last seven years our family has been living and working in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Please send me and an enquiry (active link to request form) and say why you are motivated to learn so I can develop a course tailored to your needs.
Look forward to assisting you with your Russian studies!
