Bio

I start from asking about you. Why do you want to learn Russian? What are your goals? What do you want to use Russian language for?

Then I start customizing your lessons, based on what you need, what you want to gain. I have taught for a number of years, so I have tons of teaching tools in my toolbox. I teach you the way YOU learn best.

My love of the Russian language began in high school when the Soviet Union was still a country. A required foreign language course led to study abroad in Leningrad, a consulting career in Russia and then positions in Washington, DC working on bilateral relations. I have lived in Russia and Central Asia and used my Russian daily for over 20 years. I taught college level Russian in Nevada and have been privileged to work with a variety of clients in Colorado, from business travelers to traditional students. I am happy to customize my program to your language needs, just drop me a line so we can get started!

The Best

Kelly is an amazing teacher of the Russian language. Being multiligual, herself, she quickly picks up on her student's individual learning strengths and adapts her lesson plans in a way that helps that particular student absorb and learn Russian as quickly and efficiently as possible. I study with Kelly multiple hours per week and wouldn't consider looking for any other teacher.

Great Russian tutor!

She is a phenomenal tutor who is very patient and goes at your pace so that you grasp the concept rather than just telling you what to do and how to do it. She takes time with you and answers any questions that you have at any point!

Recommended!

I have been studying with Kelly for about a year, and having a fragmented background in Russian language learning, she quickly figured out my holes and worked with me to build a solid foundation. I recently returned from a trip to Russia where I was able to communicate much better than years past. I am a busy working professional and she has always been flexible with my schedule and able to work with me at my own pace. I recommend anyone of any level train with Kelly!

Great teacher

Kelly is super helpful and well-prepared. She is very patient and gives me the confidence to keep working on my beginner Russian.

Jessica, 11 lessons with Kelly

Very knowledgeable about language and customs

Currently, we are delving into the Uzbek and Kyrgyz culture to set the stage for the special vocabulary that I'm requesting because I will make a trip to these places in May 2017.
