Russian is my native language, and teaching languages has been my professional passion for over 15 years. I hold a university degree in education, specializing in Russian and English, and have taught students of all ages for many years—from children to adults, from absolute beginners to advanced learners.

I currently live in Łódź, Poland, where I teach at a secondary school and am simultaneously pursuing a Master's degree in Polish Philology at the University of Łódź. This combination of practical teaching experience and academic development directly informs my teaching.

It is important to me that my students feel comfortable and can learn without pressure. I tailor the pace, topics, and materials to each individual—whether it's for everyday communication, professional goals, or simply the joy of learning a new language. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey to learning Russian!

Polish lessons with B2 certified teacher, Łódź, Poland

18 £ /h

Learn Polish with a teacher who has walked the same path — I studied Polish as a foreign language myself and hold a B2 certificate, so I understand exactly where the challenges lie for a non-native learner. I combine clear grammar explanations with plenty of practical conversation from the very first lesson.

A typical class starts with short speaking practice, followed by focused grammar work and practical exercises — dialogues, everyday situations, and authentic materials adapted to your level. I teach adults and teenagers of all levels, from complete beginners to those preparing for B1 or B2 exams.

I currently live in Łódź, Poland, where I also teach at a public secondary school and am completing a Master's degree in Polish Philology at the University of Łódź — combining hands-on teaching experience with ongoing academic study of the language.

Lessons are tailored to each student's pace and goals, in a relaxed, pressure-free atmosphere. I'd love to help you on your journey to learning Polish!

Want to speak Russian confidently but feel stuck? This course is designed for learners who already know basic Russian (A2 level or higher) but need real conversation practice.

This is not a traditional lesson. This is a 1-on-1 Russian conversation session with a native speaker, focused on helping you speak naturally and fluently.

During each session, you will:
- practice speaking Russian in real-life situations
- improve your fluency and confidence
- learn to express your thoughts more naturally
- receive gentle corrections without pressure

You can choose your preferred format:

💬 Free conversation
Talk about everyday topics such as lifestyle, travel, work, or hobbies.

🎯 Topic-based conversation
Practice specific situations, for example:
- ordering food in a restaurant
- traveling and airports
- meeting new people and small talk
- workplace communication
- daily life situations

After each session you will receive:
- key corrections
- useful phrases and expressions
- relevant vocabulary from the session

This course is suitable for A2, B1, and B2 learners. You should already be able to:
- understand basic conversations
- form simple sentences
- communicate at a basic level

The session is conducted mainly in Russian. English support is available if needed, so you never feel stuck.

This course is ideal if you:
- want to improve your spoken Russian
- understand Russian but cannot speak confidently
- want real conversation practice with a native speaker
- prefer speaking over grammar exercises
Important! This is not a grammar-focused course. The main goal is to help you start speaking Russian confidently and naturally.

I teach Russian to foreign students, from beginner to advanced levels.

My main goal is to help you speak Russian with confidence and use the language in real-life situations. During lessons, we work on conversation, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and listening comprehension.
I adapt the courses to your level and your objectives: Russian for everyday life, studies, work, travel or simply for the pleasure of learning a new language.
I favour a communicative approach: we talk a lot and grammar is studied in its context, rather than memorized as a list of rules.
I have several years of experience teaching Russian and Russian as a foreign language, particularly to international students.

The courses are available online and can be adapted to complete beginners as well as students who wish to improve their current level.
