I have been working with Tatyana for about a year now and she has helped me make significant advancements in my Russian. Since working with Tatyana, my OPI score has improved from 2 to 2+ and my Reading from 1+ to 2+. Not only is she very knowledgeable, as is evident from her background and level of education, but also extremely patient. She's always willing to accommodate my work schedule when able and never exhibits irritation at my many mistakes. She also lets me choose which topics we discuss and uses various materials to cover every modality so I stay engaged with the material. I will be continuing to study with Tatyana for as long as she'll have me!

My 5 years old daughter really enjoyed her class and we all know how it is difficult to keep a 5 years old involved in her class for a full hour.

This was my first ever Russian language lesson; Tatyana was very patient and helpful. I felt very comfortable going over new concepts with her help. I feel like I will learn a lot in future lessons and look forward to continuing my lessons!
- Chandler B. from Arlington, VA
Tatyana has helped me remember Russian Language fundamentals that I learned before, but have forgotten; as well as, teach me new fundamentals, colloquial phrases, better pronunciation, and so much more! I have enjoyed every lesson with Tatyana and have always felt supported, especially when I am nervous. Look no further for a Russian Tutor! Tatyana is perfect for any level!

Tatyana is an incredible tutor. She is kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She has always been considerate, punctual, and caring, as well. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Tatyana has been a wonderful Russian language tutor for my 5 year old. She is very patient and works well with her. My daughter enjoys it and says she makes learning fun.
- Jennifer V. from Springfield, VA
Tatyana was great and made successful adjustments on the fly for my personal learning experience. I highly recommend her as an instructor that will meet you in-person and help improve your Russian language skills.
- Curt C. from Arlington, VA
Tatyana continues to come up with new and imaginative ways to help improve my Russian. This week, for example, we studied newspaper opinion pieces and listened to Russian language podcasts as a way to become acquainted with contemporary vocabulary, including idioms now in fashion. She is an extraordinary teacher.

I was looking for a tutor for my small kids age 6 and 8 and was quite nervous to meet Tatyana. It was my first time using Wyzant or hiring tutor via the website. Let me tell you - she exceeded all my expectations . Tatyana was very punctual, professional and great with small kids who grew up in the bilingual family. She makes learning fun and plays with kids while they are learning . She has very impressive educational background and I feel so lucky that we found her. I highly recommend her to anybody and looking forward to work with her in the future

I've had a handful of lessons with Tatyana, and I can honestly say that I walk away from each of them feeling more and more confident in my Russian abilities. She is very good at explaining difficult grammar concepts clearly and patiently. I do not feel intimidated to speak with her in Russian, and I always get supportive feedback from her on my oral and written skills. I'm comfortable during our lessons but I feel challenged, and the hour always flies by! You'd be remiss not to hire Tatyana as your Russian tutor.
- Renee S. from Washington, DC
Tatyana is very hands on with her tutoring and is very kind and patient. I like that she customizes each lesson with each student to their learning abilities. She gives homework and is consistent with lessons. Totally recommend her!
- Emma G. from Alexandria, VA
Tatyana taught me writing and conversation for more than three months. She is wonderful teacher. I benefited a lot in her classes. I strongly recommend her to anyone wants to learn English.
- Monira A. from Falls Church, VA
Tatyana is an outstanding tutor. Patient, knowledgeable and very pleasant to be around. We made more progress with her in a few weeks then we made in months of computer based training. I cannot recommend her more highly.
- Kristofer M. from Alexandria, VA
Personable and patient tutor. Fantastic, structured lessons but flexible enough to adapt to my strengths and weaknesses. Very professional grasp of teaching methods. A real pleasure to learn with!
- Rebecca O. from Arlington, VA
I have been attending tutoring sessions with Tatyana A. for over a year and have been extremely pleased with the lesson structure and schedule flexibility. I signed up for tutoring lessons to refresh on my Russian knowledge after studying the language for two semesters in college. Tatyana was very good at diagnosing my knowledge to accelerate the progress of my lesson plans so that I could, essentially, pick up where I left off from college. When topics are more challenging than others, Tatyana spends proper amounts of time to ensure comprehension before moving on. She is dedicated to her students being well-rounded speakers of Russian, balancing grammatical understanding and colloquial tongue. As a full-time professional, she is very flexible with my schedule and provides avenues to arrange lessons that are virtual. During periods of absence, she will send homework to help my continual learning of Russian. Her dedication to her students is unprecedented, and I am grateful to be under her instruction for the Russian language.
- Alena K. from Arlington, VA
I truly appreciated the hands of approach. Instead of simply reading words and asking questions she brought the actual objects (books, mug, purse, knife, etc.) and made me connect the word to the object. I'm a very hands on visual person so this was a great tactic!
- Perla A. from Arlington, VA
The tutor, Tatyana, is always prepared and explains well. She is punctual also. Her pronunciation is clear and easy to understand. She listens to suggestions also.
