Details

Hello! I am Polina, a native Russian speaker with a lifelong passion for linguistics and education. My career has taken me from the Ministry of Education in Russia to teaching international students in UK, Uzbekistan, and Brazil.  

With two Master’s degrees - one in Theory and Techniques of Teaching Russian and Literature and another in Pedagogy - I bring a deep, academic understanding of how to make the Russian language accessible and engaging for everyone. Whether you are starting from scratch or aiming for a Grade 9 in your GCSEs, I have the tools and experience to help you succeed.  

My Teaching Approach: GCSE Excellence

I specialise in preparing students for the GCSE Russian syllabus. My lessons are structured to balance the 'boring' (but essential) grammar with the 'exciting' (and practical) conversation skills.

Syllabus-Led Learning: We will cover all required topics, from family and holidays to global issues, ensuring you are fully prepared for your exams.  

Conversation Focus: Being native and fluent in multiple languages, I focus heavily on pronunciation and natural flow to build your confidence for the oral exam.  

Grammar Simplified: I use my background in philology to break down complex Russian cases and grammar rules into manageable, logical steps.  

Digital Integration: I incorporate modern digital technologies into my methodology to keep lessons interactive and effective.  Why

Study With Me?

Teaching is more than just a job for me; it is a science. I have published six scientific articles on linguistics and pedagogy and have organized international 'Total Dictation' events for over a decade to promote Russian literacy worldwide.
