Foreign Languages Tutoring

Learning a new language is like learning a whole new world—and that’s why individualised, in-home tutoring is so important.

Russian language services provide foreign language tutoring for Russian students learning English or English students learning Russian.

Through one-on-one attention, I give students the extra support they need to master foreign languages and reach their academic goals!
For initial consultations, I can offer a free half-hour lesson for testing your knowledge and discussing the program of studies.

Expert Foreign Language tutoring for all levels

Whether I am working with high school students, college students or even university students, the approach is the same. I provide expert foreign language tutoring. I am fluent in both Russian and English. As a qualified teacher, I am suitably equipped for personal instruction, having worked in Russian school “Znaniye” in Oxford and Liden and Denz school in St Petersburg, Russia, and at the University of Birmingham. I look to empower students to manage coursework efficiently and reach specific academic goals.

I use Russian and English materials and cover all aspects of language learning: vocabulary, speaking, grammar, phonetics, reading, writing, and listening.

I also have experience teaching actors pronunciation in foreign languages.

I can tutor all levels and help with preparation for GCSE and A-Level examinations. I am an examiner at Russian GCSE and A-Level exams (Edexcel Examination Board) and DPSI exams for Diploma in Public Service examinations candidates.

Personalized Languages Support

I work with students one on one in their choice of location and on their timetable. I strive to make tutoring as convenient and successful as possible. That’s why I look at student learning styles and personalities and adjust tutoring sessions accordingly. With my help, you gain the tools to face foreign language coursework confidently and successfully.

My students get top marks, and at schools in my exams, very often the majority of the class gets a full set of extremely high scores. There is no limit to perfection.

I can help prepare to Russian state exams for those willing to work in Russia.

Our Client Testimonials

These are actual client testimonials who have used the services we offer.

EXCELLENT! An excellent and fast service! Thank you!

Inga Williams, Private Client

Our clients and our agency are extremely satisfied with Maria’s work and professionalism.

Jessica Triolo, Senior interpreting Project Manager, Global Voices

Maria was one of the best professional interpreters I have ever worked with. The one we could always trust for any project we had. She was always interested and willing to help in any way she could with any project or task even for very last-minute jobs. We always had such good feedback from our clients regarding her performance and attitude in every job she attended. She always focuses on the end result and on being accessible not only by the project managers but also by the end customer. Definitely, a very reliable professional that I have had the opportunity to work with and I wish her all the very best.

Eva Malave Vizcaino

Russian is a world language – it can take you around the majority of Eastern Europe, far into Asia and more. By speaking Russian, you can enrich your travels, opening up a whole wealth of culture which would otherwise be inaccessible to you. With Russia in recent years vastly increasing its presence in world politics, there is probably no better time to start learning it, whether that’s for work or for leisure.

Kieran Richards

My daughter has had lessons with Maria by Skype to prepare for a Russian GCSE. She said that Maria was very helpful and supportive through the process, and has helped her score a grade 9 in her exams.

Janna Knight

Maria has been working for us as a translator of English into Russian for over two years.
She has translated in excess of 25,000 words into Russian during her time working for Lingua (UK). She is prompt in her delivery and remains an important member of our translator panel.

Lingua, www.lingua.co.uk

Maria’s training is first-class. As a native Russian, she knows the language inside and out and strikes a good balance between getting you to understand the grammar while also developing your natural speaking skills. She is always punctual and professional and can push you on at a good pace, for business or professional purposes. Highly recommended.

Chris M

I am learning Russian as a beginner with Akademik and I am very grateful for the help and support I get. I find the teacher very patient, knowledgeable and ready to suggest how I can overcome problems as I meet them. I feel as if I am making good progress and enjoy the thorough grounding in the subject that I am getting. I would recommend Akadamik to anyone who is looking to learn, whatever their age or level of language may be.

Sandra M

Maria's approach to language teaching is excellent, striking a perfect balance between practical conversation and grammatical instruction. Whatever your level of ability, she opens up the Russian language to make it accessible and understandable.

Chris McNab, Director, Colourblue Ltd.

Maria is an excellent teacher. She is meticulous and pays attention to all aspects of learning Russian. As well as helping with the intricacies of grammar, Maria is equally attentive to the need to practice everyday language used in Russia. And not only does Maria help teach the language, but she also teaches her students about Russian culture and literature, which really brings the Russian language to life.

Dr. Richard Connolly, Director, Centre for Russian & East European Studies University of Birmingham
