Your starting point
What would you like to do in Russian?
Choose a goal to bring to your trial. Try a free activity first, or start directly with Alex and work out your next step together.
I understand, but hesitate to speak
Pick a situation you want to handle: introducing yourself, talking with family or ordering a meal. Bring one phrase you know and one reply you would like to make.
Practise a short exchangeI want clearer corrections
Bring a sentence or grammar pattern that keeps slowing you down. Use it in conversation, hear the correction and try the pattern again with your own words.
Try Russian cases in contextLooking for lessons for your child?
Alex teaches children from age 4 through play and short activities. Find out what to share about your child before the trial and explore a gentle first activity together.
