Excellent tutor

Alexandra has been teaching for years and it shows. There is a structure and organization to the lessons that I enjoy. Russian is a hard language, and I have a long road ahead, but I'm looking forward to the journey and happy to have Alexandra there to teach me.

Helpful tutor!

Had two great sessions with Alexandra. We went over homework and read different passages together. It was very helpful and I will be booking another session soon!

Encouraging, patient and excellent!

I look forward to every lesson with Alexandra and am thrilled with my progress in the beautiful Russian language! She is patient during the lessons, pushes me to learn and gives appropriate homework (taking learning styles and time constraints into consideration - i.e. my job). She took my unstructured initial knowledge in Russian and has helped to grow my confidence and skill with reading, writing and speaking. I am so excited to continue lessons with Alexandra and highly recommend her as a tutor/teacher!

Perfect tutor

My daughter was nervous since she had no guitar experience, but Alexandra was the perfect beginning teacher. She is soft spoken, kind, and patient. She is flexible with scheduling and always arrives on time. We are glad we took the chance and my daughter is having a wonderful experience learning basic guitar.

Kind, patient and knowledgeable

Wonderful! I want to focus on conversational Russian. Alexandra has tailored my lesson to me and is helping me with great explanations and patience to my study. She has provided me with study lessons to practice at home and exercises to help me roll my R's. Looking forward to my next lesson!

Fabulous teacher

Alexandra is a terrific teacher. My 6 and 9 year olds were taking Russian lessons with Alexandra. She is warm, caring, very patient and very clear in her instruction. The kids loved her! She was also very fast to respond by email, and flexible with scheduling. You can not go wrong here, she is great!

Very good and flexible teacher

Alexandra is a real teacher rather than someone just doing this part-time. She has a sophisticated method and is able to adjust to different types of students very well. Strong recommendation.

Excellent teaching skills

Alexandra is patient, knowledgeable, and intuitive in teaching our daughter to read and speak her native Russian. Coming to the U.S. from Russia at the age of four, our daughter had limited language skills. After spending three years in an American school, her English is on par with native speakers but her native Russian has not developed even though we speak it in our home. After a short time with Alexandra, our daughter's Russian has improved dramatically and she is speaking with no accent as Alexandra focuses particularly on correct pronunciation. We could not be happier with her progress. On top of it all, our daughter can't wait to take her lessons because Alexandra makes them interesting and fun as well as effective. We cannot recommend her more strongly. If you want your children to learn quickly, correctly, and have fun doing it, Alexandra is the ideal choice!

Effective, personalized approach to teaching

Alexandra offers a personalized experience in a comfortable and encouraging environment. Her approach to teaching the Russian language is extremely effective and focuses on developing fundamental grammar concepts, which serve as building blocks for future lessons. Alexandra recognizes that simple memorization is not conducive to actually understanding and applying the content. The quality and structure of her approach is what makes her so essential and it absolutely cannot be found in a textbook. She incorporates a wide variety of resources into her lessons, using everything from books, to interactive websites, and online videos. Within her overall technique, she offers flexibility by effortlessly catering to the student’s individual learning preferences. Her passion for what she does is readily apparent and benefits me greatly. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning the Russian language.
