Are you looking for private Russian lessons? Do you want to follow tailor-made lessons?

Russian is a Slavic language. Many people therefore think that it is a difficult language to learn. But nothing is less true! I am happy to help you learn the Russian language quickly and in a fun, inspiring way during lively communication with an experienced "native speaker" teacher (you speak at least 80% lesson time).

After the first lesson you can read and write hundreds of (!) Words in Russian. During this conversation you can ask your own questions about the lessons, such as discussing the length and day and time of the lesson.

About Me

Best lover of the Russian language. You are very welcome on my page East-West Training: Russian. Dobro Pozhalovatj!
My name is Julija Mihalova. I am a sworn Dutch-Russian and Russian-Dutch translator and a passionate Russian language trainer with more than 15 years of experience teaching Russian as a second language for children and adults.

I want my students to see the Russian language not so much as a system of complex grammar rules, but as a useful tool for achieving certain goals in their lives. As a teacher you see that motivation and end goal are not the same for every student: one student wants to be able to talk to his Russian friends and family, and the other student wants to be able to communicate with his Russian-speaking staff.

That is why I always put together an individual and personal training program for each student, so that he or she can get the best out of it. During my 15 years of experience as a teacher I have collected the most effective techniques to learn a foreign language faster. During my lessons you don't have to do boring exercises or remember rows of grammar rules.

I try to make the learning process as simple and enjoyable as possible and together we will work on overcoming your language barrier and understanding Russian speakers. The best compliment for me is to hear that students can immediately apply the acquired knowledge of my education in their daily lives and that it offers them new experiences, opportunities and possibilities. Are you also interested in an effective and targeted Russian training? Then make an appointment for a first lesson!

My name is Hanna, and I am happy to meet you here 😊

My credo is to love what I teach and those to whom I teach.

The first class is devoted to identifying your level of Russian language proficiency.

With my students, I work on
1) listening comprehension,
2) correct pronunciation,
3) reading comprehension,
4) expansion of vocabulary,
5) learning grammar,
6) elimination of letter-by-letter reading,
7) mirror writing (N-И, R-Я) (with children).

I am an extreme opponent of cramming and learning something that is not useful to you in everyday life and day-to-day conversations. That is why I always rely on material that is relevant to real life and real communication.

About my lessons:
- creative plans,
- boundless energy,
- friendly atmosphere,
- inspiration,
- my strong belief in your potential.

I will help you to fall in love with Russian and to make progress day by day 😊

Hi! I'm a professional musician based in Vienna, with experience performing on international cruise ships.

I have a native-level command of Russian and speak English fluently.

I believe the best way to learn a language is through real conversation — no stiff textbooks, no pressure,
just genuine communication in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Whether you're an absolute beginner taking your very first steps, a professional looking to sharpen your target language, or a teenager wanting to sound more natural — I tailor every lesson to you.

Why learn Russian?
Russian language is one the most spoken languages in the world - and one of the most underrated to learn.
It covers over 250 million people across Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and many other countries.
It opens the door to one of the richest literary and artistic traditions in human history.
It helps people connect, whether it's a professional or personal realm.

Why learn Russian with me?

My sessions are flexible, fun, and always focused on building your confidence.
Living between cultures and languages my whole life has taught me how daunting — and how rewarding — learning a new language can be. I get it, and I'm here to make the journey easier.

Hi everyone! My name is Ksyusha, and I'm here to prove that the Russian language can be cool and modern. I have 3 years of experience working with students from different corners of the world (England, America, Germany, France, China, Turkey, Canada, and other countries), and I definitely know how to explain complex things in simple words and find the right approach for different people.

I have a bachelor's degree from the Russian university "Voenmeh" with a degree in Linguistics. So I truly understand how the languages work.
My second degree is a Pedagogical one (Peter the Great University, "Polytech"), which means I am familiar with modern teaching methods and approaches in education.

It's easy and fun to communicate with me. We will use and practice the language from the very first lesson. Making mistakes is completely normal, that’s why I will always support you and explain things as many times as needed. Let's get to know each other and learn Russian together!
