About Ekaterina
I'm NOT just a person with a linguistic background - teacher of Russian as a foreign language is my official specialism according to my diploma. I graduated from the Philological Faculty of the best university of Russia, that is Moscow State University n.a. Lomonosov, and I'm awarded PhD in philological science. I've been teaching Russian to foreigners for all of my life, to be precise - for 24 years now. For 18 years I was working at Lomonosov Moscow State University. For the last 20 years I've been delivering individual lessons of Russian to foreigners.

I use methods developed in the best Russian university which offers lessons of Russian as a foreign language, that is Lomonosov Moscow State University. My fundamental scientific education in Russian philology means that I do understand the structure of this language and can explain it to you in an understandable way. Many learners point out that my lessons are always structured, explanations are clear, and that after a number of Russian teachers it's only after my lessons that they could finally understand tricky rules of the Russian grammar. But at my lessons I don't only explain grammar rules and control understanding, but also build reading, listening and speaking skills in my students. I talk with my learners and force them to speak. Working with beginners I use a lot of pictures.
I teach Russian in different levels and proceed from individual needs and goals of my attendees. I know how to teach it from zero because it's what I was doing for years at the university, and in 1 academic year my students progressed to Russian in the I Certificate level (TORFL). I'm also experienced in work with such learners whose level is II Certificate and higher. Moreover, I have wide experience in training students for different TORFL tests, as well as experience of holding those tests.
My individual students are people from all over the world who learn Russian for various reasons - personal (Russian roots, Russian spouse), professional (employees of a company relocated from Russia, translators, people from diplomatic sphere), interest to Russian culture and literature, hobby to learn new languages.
When I get a request from a prospective student, first of all I ask about his or her goals and current level in Russian. If the level is zero and you can't even read Cyrillic, at the first lesson we'll start from Russian phonetics and characters. If you already studied Russian before, at the first class I'll talk with you to define your level more accurately, and decide about the learning plan. Very often I switch from testing to teaching just during the first class.
My regular lesson plan depends on a level. For example, if a learner's level is intermediate, it looks as follows:
1. "routine" - a brief real life qrevisions based revision of the key case forms,
2. various tasks aimed to check the knowledge of the previous lesson material,
3. new material / speaking / listening.
Book your trial lesson and see how it works! I'll be happy to assist you in learning Russian.

Ekaterina is a professional. She has methodology. Classes are structured and progressive. I was able to discover linguistic logic that was previously unknown to me. I am a Latin speaker and therefore Slavic languages are difficult to access. However, thanks to Ekaterina, I now know the basics of the structure of the Russian language and it helps me a lot to evolve on my own.
A worthy professional!She is the great teacher and knows Russian grammar by heart. I like the methods she use to explain grammar. She has also knowledge about Russian literature and history, so the lessons are also educational. I love her positive energy and it is always a great time together. I highly recommend her as a Russian language teacher.
Ekaterina is teaching me Russian for a little over two years now. I am not a language pro, but Ekaterina has what it takes to teach even the hardest cases :) I have enjoyed every lesson, which is why I can only highly recommend her!
I have been taking lessons with Ekaterina for about 9 months now. She is very engaging, and has a pleasant personality and good sense of humour, all of which makes the lessons more enjoyable, especially when learning the more challenging and esoteric aspects of Russian grammar! She is an excellent teacher, and is very thorough and methodical in her approach. She incorporates a mixture of practice, revision and new material in her lessons, which helps to ingrain learnings.
She has developed my Russian language skills in a short period from a virtually zero start to a point where I am beginning to feel confident.
Her English and overall linguistic knowledge is excellent and so communication is easy, and complex points can be explained clearly.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ekaterina!Ekaterina is a real professional in teaching Russian!
She has extended knowledge of what mistakes learners are likely to make and why, and when I make mistakes, she explains them clearly and with humor.
The topics of lessons are set according to the goals and interests of learners. She is open to any topic in any field.
I enjoy learning not only LANGUAGE, but also the Russian MENTALITY through lessons with Ekaterina.
Thank you, Ekaterina!Ekaterina is a fantastic teacher! Before studying with her, I tried many other teachers, but it never felt right or efficient enough.
The difference with Ekaterina is not only her high-level education and huge experience with foreign students but also her bright personality and humour. Thanks to her, I could level up my Russian to a solid B2 level in a fun way!
She is kind, organized and very clear in her explanations. She is the best!Ekaterina is a very experienced teacher with many years of experience with students of all nationalities. She hold you by hand, guiding you through the learning phases of the Russian language step by step and provides you with learning material which is extremely helpful. The lesson always start with a review of previous sessions and,most important, she knows exactly what you need to review. Another important characteristic is that she is extremely patient and very professional. I really recommend her if you want to learn russian with the help of a professional teacher
