Hi there!

I'm Yana, a native Russian speaker and certified teacher (since 2008!) with a deep understanding of where the struggle gets real. See, I know the feeling of staring at a textbook denser than a Tolstoy novel. And the frustration of trying to decipher online resources that have more exceptions than rules.

But here's the thing: learning Russian doesn't have to leave you feeling like you're caught in a whirlwind of the Kalinka dance, unsure of the next move. My Russian superpower? Taking the 'ouch' out of Russian and making the journey enjoyable (maybe even a little addictive!).

With over a decade of teaching under my belt, I've crafted a method that helps you get Russian. Think clear explanations, engaging activities, and ditching the mind-numbing overload. That's the magic behind "Speak Russian in 12 Weeks" – your key to unlocking those conversations, understanding the cultural quirks, and feeling that "a-ha!" moment that makes it all click.

 

Join me and let's transform your Russian journey together.
