Arina has been an amazing English tutor for my year 7 son. She is extremely organised and plans interesting and exciting lessons that really hone into the skills he needs to do well in his English lessons. She has really improved his assessment grade whilst teaching him. I highly recommend her as tutor.

Arina was just fabulous. She provided perfect preparation to meet my request and the needs of my children (a week of private lessons 1-to-1 for 1h 30 per day for two French-speaking boys aged 9 and 12). She was able to readjust the duration of the lessons (from 2 hours to 1 hour 30 minutes) to their concentration abilities. She gave them homework to make learning as effective as possible. It was a profitable week for my two children. They have improved their English skills a lot thanks to Arina.

Arina was our tutor at Trinity Hall College, and we were a diverse group of students with varying levels of English proficiency. Her teaching style was engaging and easy to understand for everyone, and the exercises she gave us were particularly enjoyable, especially when working in pairs. I hope she will be tutoring us in the future as well.

Arina is very passionate and very patient in teaching Russia. So she taught me Russian in English. In the first class, we went through Russian algebra. We read the letter one by one, and we practiced the letters later by using Russian words. She would find some similarities in the Russian words and English words to help me to get a better understanding. She has a huge expectation for her students, and I can feel that. She is always smiling and very friendly. She answered my questions very quickly and gave me feedback in time after the class. She’s very easy to communicate with.

I have worked with Arina since mid 2020 (Yr 11) until the end of my Year 12 studies in 2021. I had Arina for the subject Art and she has been extremely helpful with improving both my theory and practical work. She finds many many resources and information in order to help me improve, I don’t know how she finds them all so quickly but it’s very impressive. Theory side, we’d spend a whole lot of time breaking down questions which assisted immensely due to how specific examiners want information to be structured in their answers. Overall, Arina is very reliable, super friendly and got me through VCE Year 11 and Year 12 studies with ease. I ended up doing well in my study score for Art at the end of it! Thank you Arina!

I have been learning Russian with Arina via a 1 hour Zoom lesson on a weekly basis since November 2020. Arina’s warm and approachable manner and expertise in language teaching has seen my learning accelerate beyond my expectations. Our lessons are always engaging and Arina prepares fun homework that reinforces topics covered. Arina takes time to introduce new concepts and each lesson commences with a brief revision of the previous week ensuring my knowledge is consolidated. In addition to our weekly lessons, Arina also regularly shares information and highlights from Russian culture and life including Russian movies, photos of landmarks and landscapes and famous Russian cultural references. Arina has been very flexible on the occasions where I have needed to reschedule our lesson due to unforeseen circumstances (that even meant a tutorial on Christmas Eve!). Arina took time to consider my learning goals and we developed a pace and schedule that suits my needs. I highly recommend Arina if you are serious about learning the Russian language and are looking for an exemplary tutor that is friendly, dedicated and fun – Arina is a wonderful teacher!

Arina is my enlightenment tutor on Russian language. She made beautiful slides and taught me the abcs of Russian alphabet, pronunciation and vocabulary. We had the class via Zoom video meeting. What’s really impressive is that she observes my mouth shapes and uses very funny and creative ways to show me how to position the tongue to get the right sound. And she knows exactly why I cannot pronounce certain sounds, and gives practical methods and practices with me on stretching my tongue and my oral muscles for pronouncing the exciting new syllables 🙂 She is as patient and dedicated as a mama tutoring her murmuring child. Besides being a bilingual language teacher, Arina is also an artist and practices a creative and authentic lifestyle. She has unique and insightful expressions about life, and would put this creative and artistic part of her into teaching. This means she treats each and every one of her students as a unique individual, and tailors her teaching for the student’s specialised needs. Arina is also a high level gymnast, she is strictly self-disciplined and resilient both physically and emotionally. She keeps wild curiosity for life and has insightful observations for the people around her, this gifted characteristic of her enables impressive and innovative interactions in her class.

Arina is one of the best language tutor I had. She had a great background in teaching and knows how to relay her knowledge to her students. I have learned and practiced so much Russian in each session that we had.
Subject: Russian
She personally tailored each lesson that I had with her to suit my knowledge level. Every meetup, she is always on time and comes prepared with all the resources that we need in that particular lesson. Her resources come in different formats such as video, book, slides and even games. All of which are helpful to make you remember the lesson after.
There is also a sense of continuity in our lessons, where we had to review the previous lessons to make sure that I understand them by heart. If there’s some difficulty, we focused on that particular topic instead.
The way Arina explain things and the way she handles my mistakes while learning Russian i s exceptional. Because of her attitude and approach, it makes learning a difficult language more approachable and understandable.

Alan 28-06-2018
I have always loved the Russian language and wanted to finally make time to learn and master it..I took classes at least once a week for 1hr.. As I run my own companies, I needed a tutor that was flexible to come direct to me with one on one lessons and who could pass on the language effectively (not like my previous experience in school..laborious and got nowhere) The lessons are fun with Arina, but also at the end of each lesson I felt I improved or gained a key understanding of the language and how to speak it properly eg..intonation (so I sound more Russian as opposed to slow and stilted) Our lessons are filled with fun and laughs from my bloopers to sharing a genuine interest in the culture and language structure. Arina has a very clear as well as creative hands on approach with teaching Russian..from showing me actual photos of signage taken on location in Russia as an exercise for me to practice reading Cyrillic… To spending time on my trouble areas like pronouncing the letter R…to name a few. With her genuine patience and repetition in focusing on the areas I was weak at, I felt that it made the learning for the subsequent weeks easier… She could sense my enthusiasm for the language and happily gave me exercises and homework to try out, and we would practice dialogues that I memorised at home the next time we saw each other. I love how tailored the lessons were to my needs. Arina is a great find!

Arina tutored us with weekly lessons in our home to prepare for vacation in Russia. We were absolute beginners: as we only had a little time to get ready, Arina designed each lesson to build us a small vocabulary useful for day-to-day social graces and getting around. She also provided cultural hints, and constant support outside the lessons – such as fun revision exercises, often web-based, and also the opportunity to meet and practise with other students, although we didn’t take advantage of this due to our working hours. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! Спасибо! We are staying in friendly contact and would like to keep improving our language with Arina.

The top three reasons I recommend Ariana is that she’s hugely personable, passionate and knowledgeable about her subject and extremely flexible. Being a native speaker, she’ll give you any insider knowledge you’re after, and pron you can trust. She’s always well prepared, but if you’re not in the mood for grammar intricacies and just up for conversation practice, she’s willing to go with the flow. She’s also just a lovely person. I can’t recommend her more highly!

Arina has been a wonderful, helpful tutor to me for almost a year. She is extremely punctual and well-prepared for classes with an array of interesting and useful materials, and always tries to find new ways to explain complex Russian grammar to us English-speakers. Although she is fairly strict and likes to keep to the schedule, I have also found her to be approachable, flexible and understanding to my often unpredictable and changeable work timetable, which I very much appreciate. Even though I was barely finding the time to practice and do exercises at home in between lessons, which I’m sure must have been very frustrating for Arina, she has been nothing but patient and encouraging towards me. My only disappointment is that I personally didn’t have the time to put more preparation into the lessons each week, however I’m hoping in the near future I might be able to start up lessons with Arina again with this goal for myself in mind.

Arina has been nothing but a great tutor and has become like a friend to me. Although my progression has been slow paced due to my lack of preparation and study time, which I’m sure has been frustrating for Arina, she has only been encouraging and has never scolded me for it. She is often finding new and interesting ways for me to learn, whether it be with cartoons or poetry; even tailoring some lessons to one of our common interests, art, which has been very helpful and very exciting. I hope to continue to learn with Arina and gradually form the speaking skills I want to use! I highly recommend learning with her as she is a great tutor and a great person.

Arina is a very good tutor, very good knowledge of both the spoken and written Russian language. We only had a short amount of time before our visit to St Petersburg and wanted some basic language skills to be able to at least communicate with Russian people with no much or no English language at all. Arina provided entertaining and easy to follow lessons with lots of materials that gave us enough skills to be able to do that. Also we acquire fairly good reading skills so we were able to recognize words on menus, and signs. Her tutoring certainly made our trip a lot more fun and pleasant. We recommend her to anyone that is interested in the Russian language either for travel or just to learn the language, her classes were always well prepared and on time, and she was always courteous and polite, and very patient, as neither of us had any previous knowledge of the language.
