Marina M. offers Russian Lessons

Scott Z. from Alexandria, VA Marina is a trained tutor, which brings a element of fun, understanding and patience to each lesson. She has a wealth of knowledge which she can rely to the student in a very effective way. Her pace and approach is geared to her student's level of understanding and ability.

Rochelle R. from Woodbridge, VA Marina has been my tutor since the end of August and I could not be happier. She is extremely knowledgeable of both the English and Russian language. Not only did I choose one of the hardest languages to learn but I am also taking college courses right now so I don't commit as much time as I should to learning. Even though, she is extremely patient with me and will sometimes review the same subject until you understand. She provides handouts and suggests the right books to purchase that even a little kid could learn; because technically that's how you will have to begin. She also works around your schedule and can meet as many, or as few times as you want. I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to learn Russian.

Leila B. from Washington, DC She is very thoughtful and plans interesting lessons and caters to your specific needs. And is just wonderful to be around. I'm never disappointed by her lesson plans.

Oksana G. from Springfield, VA Marina has been tutoring my 5-year-old in Russian for about 10 months now. Her performance has been outstanding! She utilizes the teaching techniques that maintain my child's focus on the task for an hour at a time. She changes activities as soon as his attention starts wandering and keeps him interested throughout the whole lesson. Her lessons are always diverse and incorporate reading, listening, play and crafts. She is always well-prepared for the lessons, and my son loves her and looks forward to every lesson. I provide the highest recommendation to this dedicated and knowledgeable teacher.

Eric S. from Bethesda, MD Marina is a great instructor. I've been taking Russian lessons with her for over 10 weeks now. She is always very well prepared for our lessons, customizes them to my interests and language needs, and varies the style of exercises and instruction. She has very good understanding of how to teach, and is a great motivator for learning the language. Our lessons cover specific interests, grammar drills, pop culture, literature, art, science, and everything in between. I highly recommend Marina as a tutor!
