We used Valentina for three weeks over summer. She is an excellent teacher, always prompt, polite and prepared. Valentina brings all the Russian language material necessary with her and it was a delight to spend this time with her. We will definitely book her again next summer when we are back in London.
Thank you. I’ll be happy to teach your children next year.
From Ari
Valentina is an excellent tutor. She is structured in her approach and she was quick to work out my starting level and tailored a relevant programme to my goals to move forward quickly. Lessons are engaging, funand fast-paced with a good mix of grammar and conversation. She prepares relevant teaching materials and builds up the programme well over time. She follows up with good summaries of the lessons to allow me to work on what we’ve covered between lessons. Overall highly recommend working with her!
From Alex
Very good teacher. Encourages conversation purely in Russian, even at a very basic level. Good quality materials as well. Recommended.
Большое спасибо,Alex
From Eamonn
This was my first lesson with Valentina and I can't praise her highly enough.
Her home was clean, tidy and comfortable and you are made to feel very welcome… and a gorgeous looking cat.
She was calm, warm, patient and very encouraging – I had never attempted Russian before but she made me feel very relaxed.
Some people can get lost in a classroom environment and one to one teaching allows an individual to progress at the correct pace for that person.
The hour went very quickly and extremely good value for money.
Valentina supplied me with materials that I took home with me and voice mail messages of her speaking Russian so that I can practice at home.
Looking forward to my next lesson.
Thank you so much Eamonn!

From Michael
A really well presented and organised first tutorial. Valentina is extremely thorough and helped me with my pronunciations which on occasion I found difficult. I am looking forward to my next tutorial. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a tutor. Excellent!
Thank you so much. You make great strides.
