I have been learning Russian from Maria this summer and it has been a great experience. She is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material. Her lessons were engaging, useful, and she was very patient and always encouraging. I would highly recommend Maria as a tutor to anyone interested in learning Russian.

I have learned so much in my classes with Mari. She paces the class just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. So many other classes you just read from a text book but in his classes Maria asks questions and gets the students to speak from first lessons which is both fun and promotes faster learning. She is patient and eager to help. I’m thrilled to have found her Russian classes!

Maria is an excellent teacher! She provides both a great mix of listening, speaking and practical learning activities and a very safe, supportive learning environment. As a student, you feel pushed to learn and try out new competencies, feel safe and supported in doing so and gain valuable feedback that helps you to improve.

I'm very glad to have found Maria as a tutor! She is a very attentive and professional teacher. Her unique way of teaching helped me to improve my vocabulary and writing skills! She is also open- minded and creative person. You are the best teacher I have ever met!
