I am a native Russian speaker with extensive teaching experience. I welcome students of all ages to learn or improve their Russian.
As a foreigner, I know exactly how the language learning process works and can deliver my knowledge in a clear and accessible manner. In addition to language skills, my students can expect to gain cultural knowledge, i.e. movies, literature, music, and traditions.
Why do most of us want to learn a language? Probably because we want to communicate with other...

Knowledgeable and patient tutor
Wonderful lesson plan for all types of learners. She designs each lesson based upon what I am interested in learning. She is extremely encouraging after my first lesson and I look forward to my weekly sessions with her.

Accuracy and flexibility are the key attributes of my Russian lesson with her. I grow with her guidance. Everything is aligned with the energy of her teaching.

Best session ever!
Learning Russian is a psychological risk because there always the possibility of mental failure. It was necessary to establish a conversational rapport and an operational tempo with Larissa. When I got better speaking Russian, then she was able to add relevant corrections. I feel good because I am not failing with the Russian language. Larissa is there to help me focus on my goals. If you can take the risk, then she is your teacher.

Best Lesson!
If you put in the work to study the language, then a lesson with L is dynamic and strong. She is Russian native blood, so one must fall into step with her outlook. I have more dexterity with Russian after four lessons with her. The key is...I needed to put in the work. Then lesson crystalizes into something special.

Patient and fun tutor.
She was easily able to adapt to my level. She gave me an opportunity to ask my questions and her answers were quick and easy to comprehend. She has a sense of humor which is refreshing. Very enjoyable. Already looking forward to next week.

She is a high energy tutor with a friendly smile and a patient disposition. I learned a lot of grammar during our lesson. I have a better understanding of Russian declensions.

Larisa is a great, knowledgeable and responsive tutor.
I am preparing for a return to Russian-English interpreting work in Russia and am working with Larisa to practice Russian language speaking and to work specifically on vocabulary and phrases related to my new anticipated work. Larisa continues to challenge me and has provided resources I can use to prepare myself during my time in between lessons. I am fortunate to work with such a qualified and talented tutor.

Wonderful, Effective and Fun Teacher
As a 60-year-old native English speaker starting from absolute zero prior Russian experience, I am probably not the most likely candidate to learn a new language. I was motivated to try in anticipation of a vacation in Russia. Larisa has been wonderful, a far cry from the language teachers of my youth. The lessons are always fresh, engaging and we have a lot of fun. In our lessons, Larisa makes full use of books, videos, songs, and worksheets. She went above and beyond, sending me screen shots of ATMs during her own vacation in Moscow. After returning from my Russian vacation we have expanded into Russian TV shows and film - the most fun homework I've ever had. I cannot speak highly enough of Larisa.

Wonderful Russian Lesson!
We learned rudimentary numbers, phrases and pronunciation as well as basic grammatical structure. It was the second lesson so I am beginning to assimilate, but have much work to do! Completely satisfied!
