Natalya

Robert S. from Louisville, KY

I have now enjoyed two lessons with Natalya. With each succeeding lesson, my confidence grows in both my instruction and my instructor. After studying independently for more than a year, I felt that it made sense to engage a tutor, preferably one whose native language is Russian. It is always an uncertain journey when searching for such an instructor. I’m very well pleased that I made contact with Natalya and hope that this continues to grow into a mutually beneficial partnership. She has helped me identify and correct some learning mistakes that I would never have come to realize using former study methods. Nothing replaces the personal interest and attention that a private instructor is capable of providing. Natalya provides for that need admirably. I hope to develop into a student that she can take pride in as well.

Natalya is patient, kind, incredibly knowledgeable, energetic, understanding and excited to teach. She is the absolute perfect tutor! She knows her stuff and has a great arsenal of Russian material she has carefully selected. I have studied Russian for over a year now and the very first day we talked she easily transitioned to teaching to my exact intermediate level perfectly. We discuss and examine very closely the mechanics of the language, something she helps me understand so much better not only because of her native understanding of Russian and absolute native-level English, but her knowledge of linguistics as well. I have studied Russian both in the US and abroad and I can safely say Natalya is the absolute best. I am excited for every lesson and leave each lesson with a smile on my face, eager to go home and review all that I have learned that day. I look forward to continuing with her and improving my Russian. Thank you so much, Natalya!
