"Maria was fantastic. I LOVED this class! She was so great at explaining different grammar concepts to help me understand. I have a really hard time with pronunciation and she gave me some great tips that helped. I feel really confident with my Russian skills already and my grandparents are really impressed with my quick progress (Russian is their 1st language)."
Beginner II Student"Anna does a great job teaching the language. She clearly has much experience with Russian instruction and linguistics, and uses personal history to help bring the language to life. I have enjoyed learning from Anna and hope to continue to do so going forward."
Beginner III Student"Tatiana is awesome! She knows how to get students talking and is great at pinpointing their grammatical errors. I also appreciate that she takes time to incorporate colloquialisms/sayings in her lessons."
