Highly Recommend Maria’s Lessons

5
I've been taking lessons with Maria for almost half a year, and they have always been interesting and educational. Particularly her approach of going beyond just the Russian language—she incorporates cultural elements. For example, recently we looked at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. I appreciate her teaching style and would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Russian.

Maria had been helping help my child prepare for Russian A'level. She is meticulous in teaching all aspects of the Russian language, utilising the best resources for each aspect of the course. My child has become much more confident with Russian grammar, thanks to Maria.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Maria. Her service has been extraordinary!

Highly Recommend Russian Language Tutor

5
My 15-year-old-daughter decided only a few months ago that she wanted to learn the Russian language. She hopes to take the GCSE exam next year. With Maria’s expert guidance, she has been learning at a rapid rate and her knowledge and skills are growing exponentially. My daughter enjoys the weekly one-to-one classes and leaves every lesson with a renewed sense of focus and passion for this beautiful language. Maria has a kind and patient manner. Even though the classes are all online, rather than in-person, Maria has taken the time to develop a personal relationship with my daughter. This rapport has been a key supportive element that has helped to inspire my daughter to persevere with her goal, even when she’s faced with new challenges. Maria uses a range of resources and combines language learning with lots of fun teachings about Russian culture and history, which makes the classes very engaging. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking to learn this beautiful language!

My daughter has had lessons with Maria by Skype to prepare for a Russian GCSE. She said that Maria was very helpful and supportive through the process, and has helped her score a grade 9 in her exams.

Maria conducted our A level and GCSE Russian oral examinations with great efficiency and professionalism. She put the pupils at ease and managed to get the most out of them in the examinations. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Maria is an excellent teacher. She is meticulous and pays attention to all aspects of learning Russian. As well as helping with the intricacies of grammar, Maria is equally attentive to the need to practice everyday language used in Russia. And not only does Maria help teach the language, but she also teaches her students about Russian culture and literature, which really brings the Russian language to life.

Maria's approach to language teaching is excellent, striking a perfect balance between practical conversation and grammatical instruction. Whatever your level of ability, she opens up the Russian language to make it accessible and understandable.

I have used Maria for some voice recording work, which she did effectively and professionally and to a very high standard.
