Super Tutor

Iryna is one of our best Russian tutors. High-quality profile and excellent qualifications, organised and responsive to lesson requests, appreciated by their students!

About Iryna

5000 individual sessions for more than 10 years with children and adults of different nationalities and cultures I graduated from Donetsk National University with a degree in English Language and Literature, and also completed the course “Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language” at Moscow State University.

I have helped students to successfully prepare for exams and interviews (25 people) and I also passed the CAE, DELF (French A2) language exams, in addition to exams at the university. Over the years of work, I have realised how important it is to have a structured lesson and a variety of oral exercises to achieve fluency.

I have organised 10 intensive programmes with excursions in Kiev, Odessa and Lviv for foreigners, so I know what difficulties they face. I always follow the structure of the lesson - a brief warm-up, revising new vocabulary, explaining some new rules and practising dialogues.

I am kind and understanding towards students. I understand that they are very busy, and I do not require homework for each lesson, but, of course, I recommend it. If you have not worked on something on your own, we will do it together in the lesson and move on.

Experience in travelling (more than 20 countries), living in different countries (Ukraine, Austria, India) and communicating with people of different cultures allow me to quickly find a common language with students and establish good contact with different people. Sport experience participating in bike tours in different countries (The Carpathians, Crimea, Sri Lanka, Israel) helped me develop patience and endurance, so I know that I can patiently and steadily go with my students to their goals.

One of my hobbies now is dancing, and I know that in order for muscle memory to kick in, you need to repeat the movement many times, the same thing in learning a language, we will repeat many times so that the body, tongue, head get used to new sounds, pronunciation and speaking in a new language.

About the lesson

After organizing more than 10 successful homestay and intensive language trips in Ukraine, I’m excited to invite you to a Russian Immersion Weekend in York.

I believe the most powerful learning happens through engaging, real-world experiences—the kind that connect language to life. That’s how I learned French while roasting coffee and dancing Sega on Réunion Island, picked up Hindi through practicing Kathak in northern India, and improved my German by chatting daily with flatmates in Vienna.

Language comes alive when it’s lived, not just studied.

During our immersive weekend together, you’ll experience:
- Plenty of speaking practice in a safe, supportive environment
- A personalized Russian roadmap to guide your learning
- Practical tools to overcome speaking blocks and boost confidence
- Language acquisition through cooking, movement, and film
- And even acting out dialogues from beloved Russian movies!

In our fast-paced and fragmented world, the most effective way to learn is to slow down, connect, and fully immerse yourself in the language and culture. Join us in York for a weekend that goes beyond lessons—it’s a full-sensory dive into the beauty of Russian.

Perfect! Iryna is a great tutor who helped me get achieve good grades in my university finals. She tailors my lessons based on my goals and is encouraging when I lack confidence and feel anxious about speaking. I have asked Iryna to tutor me again because my experience with her was great!

Zoe is very knowledgeable about the Russian language. You can feel her devotion and hard work. She understand many nuances that some native speaker don't :) It was a pleasure to teach Zoe.

Iryna has been teaching me Russian for over two years now. She is a great tutor, highly proficient and knowledgable. She has helped me improve my spoken Russian, enrich my vocabulary and guided me patiently through the complexities of Russian grammar! She is warm and encouraging, but also firm and pragmatic. I would recommend her to other learners!

I met Iryna in India, just two months before my trip to Russia. Her gentle soul and kind voice made it very easy to learn some Russian from her, to make my time in Russia a little better!

I first contacted Iryna in February 2018. After talking to her more later I finally decided to to reach out to her for Russian lesson. I must say, I made the right choice. Iryna is a great teacher, very helpful and patient. She has a wonderful attitude and makes you feel comfortable. Her passion for teaching is apparent and gives you confidence. I believe she would be a great teacher for anyone. She could probably teach my dog Russian ))
