I've only taken lessons with Larisa three times, but I feel like I've already made a great deal of progress. I love how she is very systematic in explaining concepts and has a lot of patience. If you're only taking lessons with her once a week, of course you'll need to do your share too because Russian is a difficult language. But you can certainly complement your self-teaching with Larisa! Highly recommend.

Larisa is a great Russian tutor. Very patient with rigorous and thoughtful lesson plans. Her explanations are easy to understand and logical. Highly recommend.
- Anonymous A. from New York, NY
If you are dedicated Russian learner than an hour with Larissa is really fun. However there is a mathematical truth: 100 hours of preparation for one hour with her. If you can do that math, then Rock n' Roll. Would recommend to the hardcore American learners of the Russian language. That's all I have to write.

Accuracy and flexibility are the key attributes of my Russian lesson with her. I grow with her guidance. Everything is aligned with the energy of her teaching.
- Chris C. from Smithtown, NY
Learning Russian is a psychological risk because there always the possibility of mental failure. It was necessary to establish a conversational rapport and an operational tempo with Larissa. When I got better speaking Russian, then she was able to add relevant corrections. I feel good because I am not failing with the Russian language. Larissa is there to help me focus on my goals. If you can take the risk, then she is your teacher.
- Chris C. from Smithtown, NY
Wonderful lesson plan for all types of learners. She designs each lesson based upon what I am interested in learning. She is extremely encouraging after my first lesson and I look forward to my weekly sessions with her.
- Elizbeth H. from Advance, NC
If you put in the work to study the language, then a lesson with L is dynamic and strong. She is Russian native blood, so one must fall into step with her outlook. I have more dexterity with Russian after four lessons with her. The key is...I needed to put in the work. Then lesson crystalizes into something special.
- Chris C. from Smithtown, NY
She was easily able to adapt to my level. She gave me an opportunity to ask my questions and her answers were quick and easy to comprehend. She has a sense of humor which is refreshing. Very enjoyable. Already looking forward to next week.
- Dan C. from Chandler, AZ
She is a high energy tutor with a friendly smile and a patient disposition. I learned a lot of grammar during our lesson. I have a better understanding of Russian declensions.

I am preparing for a return to Russian-English interpreting work in Russia and am working with Larisa to practice Russian language speaking and to work specifically on vocabulary and phrases related to my new anticipated work. Larisa continues to challenge me and has provided resources I can use to prepare myself during my time in between lessons. I am fortunate to work with such a qualified and talented tutor.

As a 60-year-old native English speaker starting from absolute zero prior Russian experience, I am probably not the most likely candidate to learn a new language. I was motivated to try in anticipation of a vacation in Russia. Larisa has been wonderful, a far cry from the language teachers of my youth. The lessons are always fresh, engaging and we have a lot of fun. In our lessons, Larisa makes full use of books, videos, songs, and worksheets. She went above and beyond, sending me screen shots of ATMs during her own vacation in Moscow. After returning from my Russian vacation we have expanded into Russian TV shows and film - the most fun homework I've ever had. I cannot speak highly enough of Larisa.
- Thomas L. from New Orleans, LA
We learned rudimentary numbers, phrases and pronunciation as well as basic grammatical structure. It was the second lesson so I am beginning to assimilate, but have much work to do! Completely satisfied!
- Joseph V. from Rohnert Park, CA
Larisa is an AMAZING teacher, she walks you thru the lesson while making it fun at the same time!!! WOW just WOW!!! I?m looking forward to a lot more lessons with Larisa on my journey in learning and becoming fluent in reading writing and speaking the Russian language!! SUPER EXCITED!!! Thank you, Larisa!! :-)
- Sloan B. from Cary, NC
Larisa helped me learn to pronounce a text in Russian and was very helpful. She was encouraging, patient, kind, and supportive. Would highly recommend for help with Russian diction!
- Claire C. from Edmond, OK
She teaches a new Russian very nicely and with a smile. I like how she teaches and she is very patient with me (I am a let me do it myself type student). I highly suggest trying her as a tutor.
- Scott P. from Santa Barbara, CA
Larisa is the most patient and experienced tutor I have ever had! She is a great teacher and motivator and really cares about her students! I strongly recommend Larisa if you are looking for a Russian tutor!
