I've been passionate about foreign languages since day one. By a freak of fate, however, had chosen economics, and after taking a master's degree began my career in investment banking where I gained a solid 7-year experience as a financial advisor.
In 2018, I've done an about-face towards teaching. In total there's over 7000 lessons with around 600 students under my belt - online for ITALKI and face-to-face for BERLITZ. Teaching the foreign languages is my true vocation.
Given I was raised in a thoroughly musical family, my second passion is music. In my spare time, I love listening to music and playing the guitar.

我提供的课程和我的教学风格
Lessons with me are dynamic and fun, adapted to your needs and personality. In the formal class we mainly stick to a curriculum, whereas in the informal one we talk about anything of your fancy or have a spontaneous conversation.
Since June 2018, I've advised and prepared students taking the IELTS test. My expertise has been proven by their great test results. I, myself, have taken it four times in 2017-2018 (both the Academic and General modules), and most recently got the remarkable band scores (Listening 8.5 Reading 8.5 Writing 6.5 Speaking 8.0).

Niko and I spent an enjoyable hour talking about podcasting and regional ways of speaking/slang. I really appreciate Niko's corrections and his ability to quickly think of idiomatic ways to phrase my ideas. Thanks for an enjoyable year of teaching!

Niko is a great teacher who has helped me from forming bad habits in Russian. His approach is varied between conversation, grammar and vocabulary building, and he’s done a fantastic job helping me to learn the basics, while also teaching me to speak about my interests. Lessons are always fun and casual, while also incredibly helpful to anyone seriously looking to learn Russian. I can already notice enormous strides in my conversation skills, and I look forward to making more!

Niko is one of the best teachers out there. He has a very pedagogical approach and is great at adjusting his lessons to suit the students’ needs. The topics we have covered in class range from basic grammar to the peculiar world of contemporary Russian slang. There are simply no limits to how you can explore the Russian language and culture with Niko. He is also excellent at thinking of English equivalents to Russian expressions, making it easier to grasp some of the more complex Russian sayings and concepts. On top of all this, he is intelligent, knowledgeable and nice to talk to. I can’t recommend Niko as a teacher highly enough.

Niko is a pleasure to work with and learn from. I have been working with Niko for just about two years and I am happy to say that my Georgian has gone from zero to me being able to comfortably navigate daily life when my work takes me to Georgia. I can highly recommend Niko as a teacher.

The teacher is excellent. He speaks clear English with out a Russian accent. According to my wife, who is a native Russian speaker, he also speaks perfect Russian. Niko has a great personality. Based on his personality, I would choose him over any other instructor I have tried. Language is very hard for me. I am definitely at the bottom of language learners. I am learning Russian because my wife speaks Russian (and I love my wife). Somehow, I did not understand the teacher even though he was working hard to speak at my level. I don't think that was his fault. Niko will be an excellent teacher for anyone is serious about learning Russian.
