Helpful, pleasant, and all-around great Russian tutor

I started Russian with Alisa with a minimal understanding of the language, and I'm now at a level of confidence I did not expect to reach in a relatively short time. She personally built a curriculum based on my level of understanding, and over time introduced me to the concepts I needed at the right pace to get me highly comfortable. It's obvious she takes time to figure out the best path forward for each individual student, and it shows in the results she's gotten to this point. And, in addition to patience and a strong understanding of how to teach Russian language, she's super pleasant to work with and makes every lesson genuinely enjoyable. In summary, if you're looking for someone to teach you Russian, Alisa is absolutely the right choice. 10/10, highly recommend.

Very Knowledgeable and Easy to talk to

Alisa has been a wonderful tutor over the past few months that I worked with her. She has provided me a strong framework to understand each declension and how it is used and has also empowered me with new vocabulary and phrases. Alisa makes each session fun and provides assignments that are related to my interest areas. She is very easy to talk to and is also very timely with answering any questions and reviewing assignments. Overall, I’d highly recommend Alisa to anyone eager to improve their Russian.

a good guide

Our first lesson...worked out general goals, approach...ideas for homework. She was ready for trying out some things in the first lesson. I like structure and goals, and I feel confident that she knows how to put that together. Positive reinforcement!

Alisa is a great Russian tutor!

Even after only a few sessions, Alisa has helped me become super motivated and excited about re-learning Russian. She is great at explaining grammar rules and vocab.

Very nice tutor

Today we reviewed some grammar aspects, useful expressions and vocabulary. I would definitely recommend she as a teacher. She is a patient, nice teacher and provided me useful corrections in order to improve my conversational English. She also recommended interesting podcasts to me to practice listening.

Great tutor!

Alisa is a patient and thoughtful tutor. She helps me to expand my English vocabulary and we work on grammar. We had only three lessons but looks like my English is improving very fast! I'll continue to have lessons with Alisa.

An Engaging (and Amazing!) Russian Teacher

I have been studying Russian with Alisa for over a year now, and it has been such an incredible experience! Not only have I acquired a strong foundation of Russian grammar, but I have also been exposed to Russian language and culture through songs, books, movies, cartoons, and a wonderful trip to Russia. Alisa does such a great job explaining challenging concepts and making lessons fun and interactive. She is also incredibly kind and flexible. In addition, I have loved being able to discuss language and grammar concepts across multiple languages with someone who has so much experience in that area. Alisa is so thoughtful and truly cares about her students and their understanding, and I always look forward to my next Russian lesson. I highly recommend her as a teacher! Studying Russian has been incredibly fulfilling for me, and I owe that to Alisa. Спасибо! :)

Thorough and Friendly Tutor

I really appreciate Alisa’s help improving my cover letters. She pinpointed my strength that I could deliver based on the job description. She also edited grammar and clarity of the writing. Looking forward to more lessons!
