Что о нас говорят родители и ученики

I've no Russian heritage and had no exposure to the language before starting to learn it for GCSE. My school didn't offer Russian at A-Level at all, so I chose to continue studying with the support of a private tutor. I'm so happy I found Olga! My twice-weekly sessions with her have been invaluable over the past two years in achieving an A* at A-Level.

Olga was excellent at adapting to my learning needs. By request one of the things we focussed on speaking, and being taught by a native speaker has been so beneficial for that. The process of developing speaking skills can be really anxiety-inducing, but Olga has been supportive, patient and empathetic throughout speaking practice, knowing when to wait and when to provide a helpful interjection. She consistently took note of the areas where I made the most mistakes and hesitated the most, and planned grammar reviews and practice activities in following lessons to strengthen those areas.

Another aspect of the A-Level I initially struggled with was literary analysis of the set texts. Although I love literature, I struggle to write essays on texts unless I feel I've fully grasped them. Olga has an incredible knowledge of and love for Russian literature, and as a result I felt not only fully prepared for the exam, but deeply engaged with and interested in the texts. Olga made Russian literature and culture really enjoyable to learn about, which I find so key for continued motivation.

Thank you for everything Olga 🙂
