I only had about 6 weeks to learn some basic russian. But with Olha it was possible. I know about 100 words and i am confident that my upcoming trip to Russia will be great because i have some russian knowledge. She really shares all that she knows - culture, food, language. She also has great material to use with students. Very patient.

I am a business teacher by profession and work with corporations all over the world and as such, have very high expectations of those teaching me something; particularly a subject as complicated and grueling as the Russian language. Although I have only had one lesson with Olha, not only has she met my expectations, she has far exceeded them. Olha is a great teacher and displays not only knowledge of the Russian language, but compassion and empathy. I highly recommend her for future students.

She is very patient and helpful. Knows what she is doing. We have a 16 year old boy we adopted from the Ukraine who is struggling with learning English and she has been wonderful with him!

This was my first formal lesson. I am very pleased and encouraged to learn my new language. Olha knew exactly what the hang ups would be for English speakers learning the Russian alphabet and was very helpful explaining each of the differences in detail and with examples I could understand. Excellent!!

Olha has such in depth understanding of the Russian language that she effectively teaches the language to her students while making lessons a fun and pleasurable experience. She takes a personal interest in tailoring lessons and exercises to the level and goals of her students. I recommend her highly.
