Experienced tutor in Russian in Pittsburgh, Ekaterina offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Katya was a FANTASTIC Russian teacher. I studied Russian intensively over the summer, and she took what could have been a difficult and tiring experience and made it really fun for us. My classmates and I were excited to come in every day and we were so eager to learn as much as we could. She taught us everything we were supposed to learn and she also took time to share stories and teach us about anything we asked about. Learning Russian is something really important to me and I was worried it would be too difficult and I would struggle or I wouldn't be able to finish the class, but Katya made it so easy. She challenged us in all the right ways while still understanding that some topics were difficult and we needed some extra time and help to understand them. Definitely the best class I ever took. 100/10 would recommend!!

She is very knowledgeable in just about everything. Easy to talk to and communicate with when I need to reschedule or cannot make it to our tutoring session. Lastly, she always provides me with a new challenge or something new to learn in each lesson.

Katya taught my class at the University of Pittsburgh. She is adept as working with a class of varied skill levels, and is particularly adept at structuring conversation to fully utilize lesson material and (as appropriate) incorporate student knowledge of additional vocabulary or encourage a coherent response from a struggling student. Would cheerfully take further classes with her as instructor

Katya is a so excellent teacher! She is very patient and helpful. She has absolutely high skill of teaching, which means that she knows points people usually make mistakes and how to handle it. And she is also a very nice person, with enthusiasm of teaching!

She was so patient and helped to explain things clearly for me. I never felt pressured or that she lost patience!

Katya is THE most energetic and passionate instructor I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! At the beginning of an 8 week intensive study course with her, I knew no Russian. By the end, I achieved an “intermediate” speaking level with her guidance. Katya always made class fun and engaging by switching up her teaching methods when material got stale.

If you are seeking someone who is knowledgeable and passionate about the Russian language, your search should end with Katya, she is fantastic. It was a pleasure being her student!

Katya is an excellent teacher and person in general. As a Russian native, she provides an immersive and in depth dive into learning the Russian language. She is kind, patient, and very hard working. As a student, I learned more Russian in 8 weeks with Katya compared to a year or two of other entry level language-learning courses.

Katya is an excellent instructor who takes pride in her student's success. She went above and beyond to give her students every possible resource and learning aid. She finds each students best learning style and adjusts her teaching style with each student. I would definitely recommend her for any Russian Language teaching position.
