About Arina
About you
Hello, my name is Arina and I am a native Russian speaker. I've been teaching Russian since 2011. Teaching my native language is not only my passion, but also a constant subject of my curiosity. I explore Russian every day with my students, we help each other understand its history, origins, and cultural peculiarities. My other passion is Fine Arts, and it blends together with languages very well! I like incorporating creative techniques into my teaching methodology; it makes the lessons fun and information easy to understand and memorise.
The structure of my lesson is well balanced. I include grammar and pronunciation techniques, also tips for better and quicker memorisation. I gather information for lessons from different sources, which makes my class interactive, vibrant, and effective. I use audio-visual aids and have an extensive database of audios, videos, movies, and presentations to help you succeed.
I've travelled to Australia, US, China, Indonesia, Europe and New Zealand and have a good understanding of different cultures. It enables me to explain the Russian culture and immerse you into our traditions. It helps to learn the language when you are familiar with the particularities of a Russian way of thinking.

On my way to learn a third language, and after having different experiences with various teachers, I would highly recommend Arina as a tutor. I can see my progress, which motivates me to continue and be eager to learn more. She will guide you and help you to achieve your goals effectively and fruitfully.Thank you Arina! You are a great teacher! I improved my skills so much in the past few month. I definitely highly recommend you! An amazing conversationalist! We all have so much to learn from you! You make the lessons very informative and interesting! I am glad I met you! I cannot wait until our next lesson! Thank you for being such an amazing tutor and for all the help and patience!
Arina is my enlightenment tutor on Russian language. She made beautiful slides and taught me the abcs of Russian alphabet, pronunciation and vocabulary. We had the class via Zoom video meeting.
What's really impressive is that she observes my mouth shapes and uses very funny and creative ways to show me how to position the tongue to get the right sound. And she knows exactly why I cannot pronounce certain sounds, and gives practical methods and practices with me on stretching my tongue and my oral muscles for pronouncing the exciting new syllables :-) She is as patient and dedicated as a mama tutoring her murmuring child.
Besides being a bilingual language teacher, Arina is also an artist and practices a creative and authentic lifestyle. She has unique and insightful expressions about life, and would put this creative and artistic part of her into teaching. This means she treats each and every one of her students as a unique individual, and tailors her teaching for the student's specialised needs.
Arina is also a high level gymnast, she is strictly self-disciplined and resilient both physically and emotionally. She keeps wild curiosity for life and has insightful observations for the people around her, this gifted characteristic of her enables impressive and innovative interactions in her class.View more recommendations
