Complete beginners
Cyrillic, sounds and everyday phrases from the first lesson — calm and step by step.
Practical Russian for foreigners
I grew up in Ukraine speaking both Ukrainian and Russian, and I teach Russian the way people use it today — for conversation, work, travel and family. Patient, clear lessons for beginners and for anyone who wants to finally start speaking.
Who it's for
Lessons are one-to-one, so we start wherever you are and focus on what you'll use.
Cyrillic, sounds and everyday phrases from the first lesson — calm and step by step.
You know some grammar but freeze when speaking? We practise real conversations until talking feels natural.
Colleagues, clients or a partner's family who speak Russian — we focus on the situations you're really in.
Intermediate and stuck? We work on the grammar that holds you back and widen your vocabulary through conversation.

Student reviews
Alina is incredibly patient with newbies (such as myself) and provides a highly welcoming and calm approach to learning Russian. I learn new things every single lesson and I feel very confident in her teachings. She is a highly gifted instructor and I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn the Russian language.
This lesson was perfect for practicing speaking and I look forward to further lessons in the future. Alina is nice, patient, and willing to help with whatever questions you may have.
Good questions
It takes patience — cases and verbs of motion need time — but with clear explanations and regular speaking practice it becomes very manageable.
I speak Russian natively and teach it as a practical tool for communication. You get a patient teacher who explains clearly — and if you're curious about Ukrainian too, I teach that as well.
Yes. We start with Cyrillic and simple phrases and build from there, at your pace.
Everyone moves at a different pace, but speaking regularly is what makes the difference — so we speak in every lesson, from the very first one.
We meet by video call at a time that suits you. All you need is a laptop or phone and headphones.
