Alexander is a great tutor. He tailors his lessons according to my personal needs. His knowledge of the Russian language is exceptional and in his lessons he pays equal attention to corrections grammatical errors, extending my vocabulary and correcting pronunciation. His well-rounded approach ensures both that my language improves on all fronts and that the lessons remain fresh and interesting.

I have studied with Alexander for a few years now and have found him to be knowledgeable, enthusiastic and interesting. He has an excellent command of grammar, which he can explain with useful examples, corrects grammatical and pronunciation mistakes without fail, and can explain the differences between Russian and English phrasing across a wide range of subjects. He is an excellent teacher whom I highly recommend.

Alexander has been my Russian teacher for the past six months. I have really enjoyed my lessons and I feel that I have made really good progress in that time.
I am a language teacher and can be quite fussy as a learner, but I have really enjoyed the variety of activities, focusing on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. Alexander has also brought literature (Chekhov) into the lesson as well as many historical anecdotes, two areas I am very interested in. It makes for some very interesting lessons.
Alexander is calm, patient and explains clearly, I can recommend his lessons without hesitation.

Alexander has been tutoring my son in Russian for almost a year and is always well-prepared for lessons. He engages my son with a variety of activities: reading, writing, songs, discussion, etc. This helps keep the lessons fresh and not boring. Alexander has a very kind and patient manner with my son, who was 7 when we began lessons, and a bit shy. However, the online format has worked well and my son is showing improvement in Russian thanks to these lessons. We highly recommend Alexander!

I have worked with Alexander for several years and have had an incredible experience as I continue to improve my Russian. He has a creative approach to teaching employing photos, video, reading passages along with traditional language textbooks. His kind and patient manner put students at ease which encourages engagement. During our classes, Alexander and I have also conversed a bit about Russian history, literature, and current events; discussions which not only aid in understanding the entomology of the language but also expose me to a world rich with culture which I might not be exposed to in a traditional language classroom setting.

Alexander is an absolutely fantastic tutor, he's highly attentive when teaching his students the Russian Lesson, and he also gives tips and corrections whenever his student is speaking.

Alexander has been my teacher for a number of months now and I have always enjoyed my lessons with him. As I am trying to improve my Russian speaking skills, our lessons focus on having conversations and discussing grammar points, both of which Alexander has been able to help me with a lot. He is able to explain grammar points very clearly, providing examples and giving me relevant vocabulary too to go along with the variety of topics we discuss.
