Great teacher !
Iryna has all the necessary materials for classes. The teacher is a kind and warm person with a cute dog. During the lesson, there is speaking, a lot of reading, and learning grammar.
Iryna is good natured, nonjudgmental and extremely patient - and showcases everything in a way that makes sense. In addition to clearly explaining the rules of the Russian language, she also dives into the cultural and historical reasons behind them (which I find fascinating). Her lessons are so well structured for a beginner like myself. I highly recommend studying with Iryna to anyone who wants to make real progress with their language comprehension.
Iryna is an excellent Russian tutor—well-structured, highly knowledgeable, and effective. Her lessons are clear, engaging, and make learning Russian feel seamless. Highly recommended!
She's the best!
Great Tutor. Works hard, and knows how to teach. I'm glad I found her - and appreciate her help.
Iryna takes a very individual approach and adapts the course content perfectly to everyone's needs. Highly recommended!
Calm, systematic, knowledgeable and patient. I enjoy thoroughly.
Iryna is great. If you are starting from nothing, she will make sure you learn the right way. When you choose to study with her, be prepared to pay attention and learn! :)
I have been taking Russian lessons with Iryna and couldn’t be more satisfied with my progress. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and makes the learning process both engaging and enjoyable. The lessons are well-structured, with a great balance of grammar, vocabulary, and conversation practice. She corrects you on the spot in a respectful way, which I much appreciate. Iryna also tailors the lessons to my personal goals and learning pace, which has been really helpful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn or improve their Russian!
Amazing teacher. She takes her time to explain and make it "easy".
Iryna has his own program, ressources, and is able to adapt the courses depending on the person she is facing. She has a great knowledge of history and culture involved in the russian language, she is really careful about the process of learning the language to the student. I recommend 100% if you want to learn russian
Iryna is such a good teacher. I've been studying Russian with her for the past few months. I appreciate the wide range of learning resources she provides from worksheets, to videos and interactive games. She's always prepared for our lessons and does a really nice job of helping with my pronunciation.
Iryna is a good teacher. She’s very patient with me and is happy to go over things multiple times when needed, she uses other methods to go over things more in depth and is very helpful. Спасибо.

Iryna is a true professional trainer. She is following a systematic program. At the same time she is adding more details related with current topic. She is contributing different espects such as common usage, different meaning, phonetics, pronunciation. My favorite part is that she doesn't make learning a language boring so I don't feel like I'm drowning in a lot of grammar.

I could highly recommend Russian classes with Iryna. I really feel the progress. Iryna is very knowledgeable, professional and has a lot of teaching experience. She shares with students very helpful materials.
Iryna is well prepared and explains things well. We have been focusing on grammar but she offers a lot of flexibility on what areas can be studied and what kinds of materials can be used. She is good at explaining concepts.
Iryna is teaching me Russian for over a year now and even though we only have lessons once a week I can definitely say my Russian has improved significantly since then. Iryna is always well prepared for our lessons and takes all lessons step by step. She uses many materials from different books and the internet, so the variety of exercises is really broad. She is also flexible to adjust our lesson to my needs and expectation. The cherry on a cake is that she would not only explain what a word means but also share its etymology (if you would be interested). I can only highly recommend to choose her as your tutor! :)
I really like lessons with Iryna and I truly recommend her as a Russian tutor :)

The materials she uses are truly great as well and she usually complements her classes with vocabulary games and extra material which makes our lessons super entertaining. Oh, and she knows a lot about her culture so it's always interesting to have chats and learn culture insight from her. I couldn't recommend more!

I highly recommend classes with Iryna. She is extremely competent, always very well prepared for the lessons and committed to teaching. If you’re interested, she sends you a variety of interesting materials that make education much more fun and well-rounded. She explains everything in an engaging and patient manner, displaying a great deal of linguistic knowledge and very good methodological preparation for teaching languages. I have had lessons with native speakers in the past, but there is a huge difference between those with specialist teacher training and those without. Just knowing a language is not enough to teach it. So if you want a fully professional, patient and skilled teacher who is really committed to teaching Russian, I fully recommend Iryna.

Iryna adapts her classes to the student's needs and is always available to answer questions. She is a really good teacher, it is why I highly recommend her.
Iryna has been an amazing tutor. Having had Russian tutors previously, I've had issues in progressing - but Iryna has a very agile and personal teaching methodology that has really helped me progress at a rate much faster than I ever expected, and made me enjoy learning. I feel as though I've not only got a tutor, but a friend who's invested in helping me learn. Спасибо!
Iryna is really friendly and ready to adjust the classes to your pace and preferences (more conversational or traditional exercise-based). After each class with her, I feel motivated to practice and learn more. She also has plenty of useful materials to share in between classes and will give you homework if you want to do more. I recommend her to everyone, not only complete beginners!
The lessons with Iryna are very exciting. She is an extremely talented and structured teacher who always knows how to convey the material in an understandable way. I would never choose another teacher.
