Hi, I’m Jamilya. I grew up bilingual, and Russian has always been my native language. I’ve been teaching for 3 years now, and I love showing students that Russian isn’t just grammar tables—it’s also funny memes, real conversations, and even beautiful literature. What you can expect from my lessons:
Lots of practice speaking (I’ll get you talking from day one!)
Grammar explained simply and clearly
Cultural insights, local phrases & even inside jokes Russians actually use
A bit of Dostoevsky and Pushkin if you’re curious
Lessons are usually 1 hour, but I’m flexible if you need shorter or longer sessions. I work with all levels—from absolute beginners to advanced learners who want to polish their fluency. My style? Super friendly and patient. I’ll adapt everything to your goals, so whether you want to travel, talk to family, or just fall in love with the language, I’ll help you get there.
Russian can be challenging at first — the grammar and pronunciation take time — but with a native tutor and regular practice, you’ll start speaking confidently much faster than you think.
It really depends on your goals — with consistent practice and good guidance, you can start having basic conversations in 3–6 months and reach fluency in about 1.5–2 years.
