    About Victoria M.

    I am very dedicated to what I do, whether it is lesson preparation or teaching itself. I hold two degrees, MA in Second Language Acquisition (ESL) and MA in Russian and Slavic Studies from the University of Missouri. Being a native Russian speaker allows me to make my lessons fun and interactive, I love seeing results and progress in my students. I work hard to help my students achieve results. This job brings me a great deal of reward and satisfaction. Besides teaching I enjoy photography, cooking, traveling, and of course spending the time with my family.

    Victoria is a great teacher. She works on what exactly you need to improve your English language It could be grammar, communication and vocabulary etc. I learned so much during my class with her. I will definitely recommend her.

    Victoria is simply a wonderful teacher. Not only is she friendly, patient and encouraging, she really knows her stuff and is very organized and communicative in her teaching style. I'm very much a beginner when it comes to learning Russian, but already I have gained a more comprehensive understanding of the real nuts and bolts behind the language's grammar and conjugation, as well as a bit more confidence in speaking it. I look forward to our lessons each week, and I always have a lot of fun when working with her. I don't think I could recommend her highly enough and I look forward to continuing to sharpen my skills under her guidance. For anyone who is newbie when it comes to Russian, I would urge you to seek out Victoria's tutelage. You'll be glad you did.
