Natalya holds a Master’s degree in Russian and English language and literature and has taught in both Russia and the United States for over twenty years. She tutors learners of all ages in Russian and English and adapts lessons to each student’s strengths and interests, using patient, step-by-step practice so mistakes become opportunities to grow. She has experience supporting students with ADHD and learning disabilities and enjoys building lessons around a student’s passions, for example using historical texts to strengthen language and comprehension. Families value her calm, individualized approach and the steady confidence their children gain. She divides her time between two countries, raises bilingual sons, and outside of teaching she spends time with her dog Pesya, reads in both languages, practices yoga, and joins friends for weekend skill-sharing sessions.
