Viachaslau (Slava) was enthusiastic in his approach. He made the sessions fun. Slava was very patient. I saw a significant improvement after each session. He really made a difference. Looking forward to working with him again this summer.

I've only had a few weeks of Russian lessons with Slava (Viachaslau) and I've already seen a huge improvement in my language skills, especially in speaking and reading. Slava answers all my grammatical and vocabulary queries in a clear, non-confusing manner, and will encourage you to speak as much of the lesson as possible. This is good! You get used to all the things even a basic vocabulary can accomplish quickly. Slava's lessons don't come off as overly serious, and he also has a lot of funny tales about his world travels to regale you with. If you want to learn Russian in a relaxed, straightforward, and noticeably effective manner, then it's only logical to learn it from Slava.

Slava was a wonderful tutor, despite only meeting with him a couple of times. He was always very flexible with my schedule and was very pleasant to chat with. He rose to the challenge of helping me to better understand tough advanced grammatical concepts and explained things in a manner that was easy to understand. I highly recommend Slava to anyone who would like some extra practice with conversation or grammar help! No matter your language level, Slava is an easy-going and patient tutor who will do all he can to help you with your Russian.

Slava is the most hardworking tutor I've ever had. Not only did he go above and beyond to find reading and vocabulary homework related to my particular field of interest, but he's patiently engaged me on every topic and question I've brought up. He's fun to talk to and shares great stories.

Viachaslau is helping me with beginning Russian. He has a gift for teaching and tries to understand how each person will best learn. Also a very thoughtful and kind person. Recommend highly.

Slava is new to the US and being fresh from that part of the world (Belarus) will help with increasing confidence with the ever changing Russian language, culture and history over the years. He's cool and his personal life story is interesting!
