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.
Extra information
The course material is sent by e-mail. All rates are exempt from VAT.
Are the lessons mainly for your work? Then you can ask your employer for a contribution towards the costs. Please contact me for a free quote.

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 😊
