Dmitry is a very pleasant guy, and a fantastic teacher. As a native Russian speaker, Dmitry possesses the rare ability to explain the many intricacies and exceptions found within the language.

Most importantly, he realizes that Russian is a difficult language for native English speakers to learn, and he is very compassionate and understanding when his students make mistakes. He speaks around five or six languages himself, so he has certainly been in our situation at some point in his life! I highly recommend Dmitry for all of your Russian learning needs.
