Anastasiia

After three lessons (and more to come), I am very impressed by how each lesson is well prepared. Anastasiia manages to create new material while blending seamlessly some small targeted repetitions of mistakes I have made in the previous lessons, which makes it very tailored to my learning. The lessons flow easily, at a good rhythm, and are very effective :)

This lady is the best tutor I've found on this site, no matter the language. This is due to her charisma, empathy, and (obviously) the fact that I can sputter through a whole lesson talking/listening pure Russian. She doesn't use easy translations of vocabulary in English to save time/effort, she'll teach the word by giving example sentences in Russian. She never had to ask 'what do you want to learn? what is your level?' because she deciphered it herself and then pushed me farther than other teachers would. She gives me full attention and interest and laughs at my dumb jokes and gives plenty of homework in a concise Google Doc. Though I have to step away from Russian for a little bit, I will immediately rebook lessons with her. I know that I haven't had a huge amount of lessons with her yet, but I don't write long, cringe reviews for nothing. Usually teachers are never extraordinary, but sometimes you get really lucky :D

My lesson with Anastasiia was fun and educational. Anastasiia proceeds at an efficient, but not excessive pace, so the lesson is very productive, yet not overwhelming. Although Anastasiia has a high level of English proficiency, I was very pleased that Anastasiia conducted the lesson almost entirely in Russian. She seems to accurately sense of a student's level of comprehension and adjust her delivery accordingly. When I didn't understand, she explained using Russian synonyms and examples, which is super helpful in connecting related words and phrases. I'm grateful that Anastasiia regularly corrects my grammar, pronunciation, and word choice, and she takes great notes, which are very helpful for review. Thank you for teaching, Anastasiia!

Anastasiia is a phenomenol teacher! I've really enjoyed our lessons so far, and always look forward the next lesson. During the lessons she is engaged and attentive and creates a safe environment where there is no shame in making mistakes. She puts a lot of effort into preparing her classes and always provides tailor-made exercises for me to do at home. The lessons always feel well prepared and structured, but also have a healthy amount of spontaneity to them. If you want to learn Russian, I think you would have a very hard time finding anyone better suited to be your tutor than Anastasiia. Highly recommended!

What a fun lesson! I'm starting to really feel like I can have conversations now, which is so exciting! I'm still using basic words, but to see you understand and help me get where I want to go is awesome to see :D I can't wait to expand my vocabulary and grammar knowledge even more and see where I go from here ^^ Thank you so much for your help, as always <3

The best Russian tutor on italki!!! Sue me if anyone thinks otherwise😂❤️
