Hello, I'm Nadia! I am a native Russian speaker with MA in Linguistics, Teaching and Translation from the International Slavic Institute (Moscow, Russia). I have been tutoring students in Russian and English since 2002. In addition to my degree, in February of 2024, I completed TESOL/TEFL teacher training and certification which included Teaching Business English and Teaching English to Young Learners. I teach all levels of Russian and English. Over the years, I worked as an accountant, a dance instructor, and a tech startup market researcher which gives me very diverse terminology knowledge in all these industries. If you are looking to improve your conversational fluency in either Russian or English, I would converse with you on a variety of subjects to ensure you have the proper vocabulary on any given topic.

Russian tutoring

Russian is a complicated language and it requires a lot of practice to achieve fluency. I teach via a communicative approach which means that I pay extra attention to working on conversational skills, making sure students feel comfortable with applying the language they have learned right away. Using materials such as movie clips, cartoons, and short stories, I strive to keep the lessons interesting and engaging to students and immerse them not only in the language but also in the Russian culture.

English tutoring

If you are looking to learn or improve your English and you are a Russian speaker, I can teach English to you in Russian. If you are not a Russian speaker, I also teach English via English as a second language method which involves breaking down complicated concepts into simple pieces and teaching them in English to non-English speakers.

I am looking forward to working with you!

Best Russian Instructor!

I absolutely love Nadia! She's always so positive and brings amazing energy to every class. The lessons are creative and engaging—she uses songs, movies, short videos, and other fun materials that help me understand both the language and the culture more deeply. She’s incredibly patient and always willing to help, taking the time to make sure I feel confident with what I'm learning. I’m constantly picking up something new, and I really appreciate how much we practice real conversations in class—it’s helped me build confidence and feel more comfortable speaking Russian. I genuinely look forward to every lesson and can’t wait to keep learning more. If you’re considering studying Russian, I highly recommend her class! It’s fun, meaningful, and truly effective.

Very patient and knowledgeable tutor. Has helped me so much with my Russian!

Nadia has been such a great resource for me in my study of the Russian language. In just a few short weeks she has improved my Russian greatly and I'm feeling more confident than ever in my language ability. She is kind and patient and very intelligent and knowledgeable. She always surprises me with the things she knows. Her classes are fun and also very informative. I would recommend her highly to anyone who wants to improve their language skills while having a good time doing it. If you want to improve your Russian, Nadia is definitely the person to go to.

Erik, 9 lessons with Nadia

Tutor of breadth and depth

Nadia helps me go deeper into topics that require stretching my idiomatic expression, vocabulary, and grammar. We actually TALK about things that matter, and she helps me very gracefully to become more capable at it.

Nadia is a great tutor!

As a first time student of Russian I was worried that it would be too hard for me, but Nadia has worked patiently with me to introduce me to the language. Her clear teaching approach and rigorous program has made it possible for me to progress more quickly than I expected. Nadia makes learning fun and interesting while still focusing on making sure I am understanding what she is teaching me. I would recommend her very highly to new learners or experienced linguists.

Amazing Russian Tutor

Nadia is a great tutor, is very patient and gives helpful feedback. Every lesson we try to learn something new while also building on what we have already learned. I have had multiple lessons and I feel that some things are starting to stick thanks to her. I would highly recommend her!

She is easy to follow and incredibly patient. Additionally, she is very accommodating with scheduling and always comes to class with a positive attitude. If you’re looking for a tutor that will give you an engaging, personalized experience, Nadia is the tutor for you. We couldn’t ask for better and highly recommend!
