Hello! My name is Maria. I?m a Russian native speaker and experienced teacher with a master?s degree in Linguistics from Russian State University. I have been tutoring and teaching the Russian Language for the past ten years to adult professionals in the U.S. for such governmental agencies as the Department of State, Foreign Service Institute, USID, Department of Defense, and many others for a wide range of language levels: from very beginner to advanced. My tutees and students successfully ...

I tried some other tutors on Wyzant and it didn't go well because they weren't prepared and required a lot material purchases. Just had my first session with Maria and I actually learned quite a bit on the first session. She's a really friendly, patient, encouraging and experienced native Russian tutor and she comes prepared with a lot of materials that she gave me. She's great with technology and started a google doc for me. She wrote out some words so that I could see them as well as hear them and see where the intonation stress should go. It's great that she keeps documents so that I can review and also learn on my own so it's great for online learning. She offered to create audio clips for me and we worked on a basic conversation introduction so that I could be a better speaker. Can't wait for the next session.

I have already learned so much in the first week. Maria explains everything very well and works for your goals. Great lessons filled with variety! I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Maria is fantastic tutor! While I was hesitant at first about being tutored only online, Maria does a great job of using Google Docs and other online resources to seamlessly teach Russian. Lessons are structured enough to ensure we make progress, but still leaves room for questions and discussions of different subjects. Her use of news articles and other real life examples is useful for trying the practical application of my Russian language skills. She is very patient and understanding, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a Russian tutor!

Maria is an amazing tutor as she helps you out at almost any education level, I myself am a beginner and she helped me out without any judgement. She helped me with projects and tests as well as review on things I may have forgotten. She will drill you incessantly on concepts to make sure you know the material, it is a bit annoying at the moment but it is absolutely necessary for Russian and thus I appreciate it greatly. She also assigns honework so that you can freshen up and sharpen your skills between lessons.

Maria has very structured lesson plans but is also open to suggestions. Her lessons build on each other so that you can see progress in focus areas.

Maria is an amazing tutor. She listens very patiently and encourages her students to speak. I personally like that she explains everything in Russian and allows me to learn that way. Her lessons are very methodical and interesting. Upon request, she provided useful studying material.
