Teaching conversation and translation at native and highest levels. I am a native speaker of the Russian language, a professional musician with perfect pitch and thus no accent in my speaking. I am also equally fluent in English and have been hosting radio programs spanning over 10 years. I have given talks in both languages internationally and have been published by Carol Publishing as well as Genet Publishing in newspapers, on line, in print both soft and hard cover available in Barns and Noble, Amazon and anywhere fine books are sold. If you are learning to speak in the Russian language or if you are improving your skills, if you are a singer working on enunciation and the feeling of the language for writing, speaking or singing - you have come to the right place. My family of professional musicians have helped orchestras and choir in the production of Alexander Nevsky on the big screen in concert of the Eastman Theater that to this day continues to illicit fond memories in the thousands of people who witnessed an American choir singing beautifully and expressively as native Russians with the orchestra. Some of the most amazing literature and poetry is in the Russian language. Feeling its music and beauty is a gift to be cherished. Such memories and moments in life are so rewording! Translating to my friends and family the movies we watched together is more precious than even a photograph. I would like to help you reach such moments in your life and to be comfortable in your speaking and reading if you wish. The lessons or conversational and easygoing. Like friends meeting over a cup of coffee or tea. If that interests you, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you!

Helped me a lot with pronunciation. At times he is hard to understand because of his accent, but I'm sure I am hard for him to understand as well. Still, I learned a lot and want to continue.

Wonderful first impression - our lesson was serious, yet conversational. There were moments of fun and also lecture. I will be back.

FAQ

Is Russian an easy language to learn?

It is widely believed that Russian is one of the most difficult languages to learn. The grammar rules in Russian are very complex. This makes the language difficult to comprehend, especially if you do not have a basic knowledge of other Slavic languages, such as Bulgarian, Czech, or Ukrainian.

However, our Russian teachers have been speaking and teaching the language for many years, and many of them are native speakers. They will help you build the right foundation so that your Russian language skills will continue to grow.

How can I learn Russian quickly?

The best way to learn Russian quickly is by taking Russian lessons with a qualified teacher. All TakeLessons teachers will help you learn Russian as fast as possible. Keep in mind, however, that Russian is a difficult language to learn, and, no matter how good your Russian teacher is, it is going to take time to master this new language.

How much do Russian lessons cost?

Our goal here at TakeLessons is to teach new skills at affordable prices. The average cost of Russian lessons is $58 for a 60-minute session. However, the price varies from teacher to teacher. Students should expect to pay between $18 and $117 per hour.
