Kole L.

11 Russian lessons

Juliya paces her lessons well and is very attentive and receptive about if/when any confusion or questions arise. She is such a magnificent teacher, in fact, that in less than ten Russian lessons I've already learned the following: The Russian alphabet, to count up to the thousands, read/write basic Russian, and to carry basic conversation - which is very impressive considering that I had little to know knowledge of the Russian language prior to our lessons!

Albert H.

12 Russian lessons

Although we are only two sessions in, I have already memorized the russian alphabet and begun memorizing the pronunciation rules and new vocabulary! I feel more confident and optimistic in my ability to learn the Russian language now. Veronika understands my Russian-learning goals, which are to be able to freely travel in Russian-speaking countries, as well as provide eye care to Russian-speaking patients in their native language. We strive to accomplish this within 3-months-time.

Tony T.

16 Russian lessons

Tania is an outstanding Russian tutor. She is not just a Russian who speaks Russian, she knows the ins and outs of Russian, she knows the grammar, and she knows how to teach it. She can teach Russian so well to English speakers because she knows both Russian and English grammar. She is such a good Russian teacher that all I have to say is this: She knows ENGLISH grammar better than I do.
