Exceptional and knowledgeable teacher

I've been working with Irina for about 2 years now, and she has taken my level of ability and understanding of the Russian language to new heights. She is extremely knowledgable about languages in general and can answer any question I come up with. On top of that, she is friendly, patient, and lovely to chat with. She has a way of explaining anything so that it makes sense, and has given me an understanding of the most difficult aspects of the Russian language. I would highly recommend Irina as a tutor for anyone of any speaking level.

Excellent and Knowledgeable Tutor

When I started working with Irina, I was basically a complete beginner at Russian. After three years of lessons with her, I am now starting university studying Russian from an intermediate level along with students who studied it in school. Irina is an excellent teacher, who knows exactly how to explain difficult concepts in a way that makes sense as a student. She adapted her lessons to my needs, and we spent lots of time talking in Russian about common interests. I have learned so much working with her and would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Very knowledgeable & patient.

I needed someone to help with speaking. I took Russian many years ago and can mostly read okay. My speaking is just terrible and I’m awful with recall. She was very patient with me. The whiteboard was convenient because words I was unable to say, I could write. I highly recommend Irina; I plan on using her for several months, at the very least. The Wyzant platform is easy as well.

Very gifted and patient teacher

This was my first real session with Irina. I had tried to pound the Russian alphabet and sounds into my 65 year old brain. Irina knew just how much to push me forward and was very patient. At the end of the lesson I remember feeling like my brain had just awakened from a 45 year long nap. It feels really good to be learning again. I feel very lucky to have such a talented teacher.

Teaching through strength not weakness!

Irina is the best kind of teacher. She's kind, thoughtful, and most important she's an active listener. She quickly ascertains your level of knowledge and teaches though strength not weakness. You feel comfortable and open to learn and try new things. Thank you Irina!
