About Ulyana
I am a native Russian tutor based in Tbilisi with private teaching experience and a background in psychology. I specialize in absolute beginners — from the alphabet and reading to practical conversation — using a structured, goal-oriented approach that produces steady results. Lessons are punctual, well-prepared, and include clear objectives, personalized homework, and respectful, constructive feedback. Book a trial lesson to see how quickly you can start speaking with confidence.

My method & techniques.
I combine a communicative, task-based approach with step-by-step phonics for the alphabet and reading. Lessons mix listening/speaking practice, guided reading, targeted grammar explained with simple examples, and short writing tasks. I use real-life materials (menus, messages, videos), mnemonic sketches and spaced-repetition for vocabulary, and gentle corrective feedback so students feel safe to try and make mistakes.
A typical lesson plan.
5–7 min warmup (greetings, review of previous homework).
10–15 min focused skill (alphabet/reading or pronunciation drills).
15–20 min new material + guided practice (dialogues, roleplay, structured exercises).
10–15 min free speaking or task (ordering coffee, short story reading, translation).
5 min feedback and simple homework (2–5 practice items).
Lessons are flexible — I adjust time per block depending on goals.
What sets me apart.
I’m a native Russian speaker and psychology student, so I design lessons that reduce anxiety and build confidence (Gestalt-informed attention to how learners feel while speaking). I use visuals and quick sketches to explain grammar and support memory. I teach both in-person (central Tbilisi cafés or home visits) and online.
Who the lessons are for.
Absolute beginners (including those who can’t read yet), adult learners, expats, students preparing for travel or work, and learners who prefer patient, structured, confidence-building instruction. I tailor lessons for different goals: reading and alphabet, conversational fluency, workplace language, or exam prep.
About my lessons.
My lessons are practical, beginner-friendly, and confidence-focused: clear step-by-step reading instruction, lots of speaking practice, personalised homework, and a warm, low-pressure environment that helps learners progress fast.

I took weekly classes with Ulyana for about a year, and honestly, she’s the best teacher I’ve ever had! She makes learning so easy and enjoyable that I picked things up super quickly. Every lesson felt fun and engaging, never boring, and she always explained things in a way that just clicked. Ulyana is patient, encouraging, and has this amazing ability to keep you motivated while still making sure you’re improving.
