LET’S BREAK STEREOTYPES: RUSSIAN CAN BE SIMPLE!

I am a life-long Moscow resident with a Master of Arts in Philology, specializing in teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (Moscow State Pedagogical University). I also hold a Master of Liberal Arts in Psychology (University of St. Thomas, Houston, TX). Teaching is my passion and love. I started tutoring when I was 17. Since then, I have worked with students of all ages at the language schools, the University of St. Thomas, online and in private. My vast teaching experience, on top of my ba...

Like the title, she is a professional Russian language teacher. She knows how to teach step by step and when you tell her your level and what level you want to reach, she will schedule a plan for you. I think that's the main reason why I need a private teacher instead of self learning. I am Chinese, English is my second language, She always teaches me Russian words and alphabet with vivid English explanations and she always encourages me to learn more. Not only in class, she also sends me some links to upgrade my Russian speaking off the class. So, I am still learning Russian from her every week and I am enjoying it.

I have made faster progress than I thought possible, and I give Juliya much of the credit. Reasons why: 1) She is very patient, so there is no discouragement. 2) Simplifies things for faster learning. 3) Very professional, yet funny, energetic, thus motivates you to learn. 4) Will focus on areas that you need for your particular situation. 5) Truly a pleasure to work with - an outstanding teacher and individual in every way. Highest recommendation.

Lauren F. from Houston, TX

I recently had my first lesson with Juliya and it was great! She was very patient and encouraging and adjusted to what I already knew. She is exactly what I was hoping to find in a tutor and I can't wait for future lessons!


James S. from Houston, TX

Juliya was thorough and prepared for my first tutorial. She seemed to adjust "on the fly" the pace and material covered in direct response to my performance reading and translating. I look forward to continuing to learn under her direction.


Keith R. from Richmond, TX

Juliya is a very good teacher. She makes the time fly by with no wasted time. She listened to exactly what I wanted and has tailored a program to get me what I need. Great job, thanks for making Russian fun.


Skyler I. from Houston, TX

I met with Juliya for our first lesson yesterday, and I had a great time; I can already tell I'm going to make lots of progress with her as my tutor. We met once before the lesson to talk over my goals and expectations, as well as my language experience before that. When we met for our first lesson, it was clear that Juliya had put a lot of thought into the lesson plan, and at the end of our time she asked for my input again. She's patient and helpful and, most importantly, knows how to correct my errors in a constructive way. I'm excited for our next lessons, and I can't wait to learn more Russian!!


Arthur B. from Houston, TX

Juliya is a very pleasant tutor to work with. She is very patient, always makes you feel comfortable and is genuinely encouraging, never intimidating. She's constantly looking for ways to help you improve and is very helpful in correcting errors in a fun and constructive way. Her manner of teaching is well thought out, easy to understand and satisfying. Juliya makes sure you understand the subject at hand and encourages any questions and feedback. She makes learning fun, pleasing and exciting; definitely the best of the best!!


Kyle E. from Houston, TX

From the first meeting Juliya was extremely helpful in realizing my goals and coming up with a plan to reach them. She tailored a plan just for me and I have never felt like I was just a number. Since the first meeting my Russian has improved immensely, I would recommend Juliya to anyone looking to advance their Russian skills in reading, writing or conversational.


Kole L. from Houston, TX

Juliya is not only the best tutor that I've ever had the pleasure of working with, but she is also one of my greatest instructors overall! To further elaborate, I need to express the fact that Juliya has been teaching me the Russian language entirely from the ground up. Other than when I once attempted to learn the Russian alphabet via the internet, I had virtually no prior knowledge of the Russian language before I signed up for lessons. And, let me tell you, it is extraordinarily valuable to have an avid and experienced native Russian speaker guide you through the language, step by step and in person; I cannot exaggerate how crucial this is for someone like me who wishes to learn Russian from the ground up. Juliya is a very gifted teacher who is very patient, adaptive, understanding, and knowledgeable. Juliya paces her lessons well and is very attentive and receptive about if/when any confusion or questions arise. She is such a magnificent teacher, in fact, that in less than ten Russian lessons I've already learned the following: The Russian alphabet, to count up to the thousands, read/write basic Russian, and to carry basic conversation - which is very impressive considering that I had little to know knowledge of the Russian language prior to our lessons! I am currently in the process to expanding my vocabulary and am refining my knowledge of gendered/neutral words in order to have more advanced conversational exchanges - all in such little time! My conversational skills are evolving so quickly that I've even purchased a Russian keyboard so that I may read/write online with ease. When comparing self-taught Russian language methods to taking lessons from Juliya, I've gone from 0-100. I've learned more in 7-10 lessons than I could have possibly dreamed and am having a blast! Who knows what the next lessons have in store for me!
