Private tuition
One-to-one lessons are tailored to your level, your goals and your pace. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advance speaker, we can focus on speaking, grammar, reading or other areas you would like to improve.
Lessons can take place in person or online.
Please contact me for information about fees and availability.
Group classes
I teach evening classes for adults for the Scotland-Russia Forum (SRF). We offer classes at various levels, from complete beginners to advanced. The groups are small, giving you plenty of opportunity to practice speaking.
Some classes take place in person, some on Zoom. New classes start on 14 September 2026.
The SRF website is currently being updated. Please contact me for information about Russian classes.
Lessons with kids
I give individual lessons to Russian-speaking children as well. Depending on the age and goals, I help them learn to read and write in Russian, improve and expand their vocabulary, and develop their grammar and spelling skills.
I have also developed my own teaching materials for use by teachers or parents.
I have been studying with Natasha for over two years and have thoroughly enjoyed my lessons. Natasha has been very supportive and understanding. She explains grammar points very well and the lesson progress at a good pace. All in all I would recommend anyone Natasha as a Russian teacher.

Natasha is an outstanding language teacher. Her patience and adaptability, a scholarly knowledge of her native Russian, and an ability to explain grammatical intricacies in precise, idiomatic English, make lessons with Natasha engaging and richly rewarding
