Private, small-group and corporate Russian lessons for adults
Speak Russian
with confidence
Hi, I'm Nastya Nazarova — a certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language and a native speaker from Moscow.
I help adults learn Russian for personal interests, relationships, life in Russia, university, work and TORFL / ТРКИ preparation — from complete beginners to advanced learners. I also design corporate Russian programmes for international employees and company teams.
Lessons are personal, practical and structured, with speaking, grammar, listening, vocabulary and reading focused on the Russian you want to use in real life.
