Paddington Russian Tutors

Anne's feedback about Natalia (Intermediate Russian tuition near Paddington)

Natalia has been a fantastic tutor. When I began, I was not even sure how to characterize my own ability level (I am not a total beginner), but Natalia had no trouble pinpointing my level during our first lesson. As a result, the lessons are at just the right level of challenge for me; we are covering material that is new, and yet I do not feel lost. Natalia breaks down complex topics so that they make sense, and the exercises she presents further clarify how to convey the intended meaning. There is a good balance of speaking, listening, and reading in the lessons. Also, the words and grammatical constructs we cover are useful, i.e. they are clearly ones that I (and anyone would) come across often in speaking with others. The class is online, which is of course extremely convenient. I was concerned initially that it might be harder learn this way, but Natalia has this sorted, and I do not find it to be an impediment to learning. Overall I find my lessons with Natalia to be an efficient and enjoyable way of learning a language. I am pleased with my progress, and I would definitely recommend Natalia to others.
