Hello! My name is Alina, and I am a native Russian speaker originally from Siberia, Russia. I currently live in Boca Raton, Florida, near the Spanish River Library. I offer personalized Russian lessons for children and adults of all levels. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Law from Novosibirsk Law Institute and have also completed additional education in Psychology at Saint Petersburg State University.
In Russia, I provided individual and small-group tutoring in Russian language and literature to middle and high school students. I also work with bilingual families in the United States, helping children maintain their Russian language skills when one parent is a native Russian speaker. I adapt my teaching methods to each student’s age, interests, learning style, profession, and personal goals. For children, I use games, books, and interactive activities. For adults, lessons can focus on conversation, pronunciation, grammar, phonetics, writing, or literature. We can discuss family, relationships, work, travel, social media, current events, politics, history, and any topics that interest you.
For me, teaching Russian is much more than teaching vocabulary and grammar. It is an opportunity to introduce students to Russian culture, traditions, history, and literature. Being a bridge between my students and my native language and culture is something I deeply value. Most importantly, I believe learning should never be boring! I want students to enjoy our lessons, feel confident, and take pride in their progress. I continuously develop my skills through educational courses, new teaching methods, and a community of Russian language educators.
A little about me: I’m 32 years old, and outside of teaching, I love spending time with my family, playing soccer with my son, and taking walks with our Golden Retriever puppy. I would be delighted to help you discover the Russian language and make your learning journey enjoyable and meaningful!
