about me
I was born in St. Petersburg, Peter the Great's window on Europe, the Venice of the North, the city of white nights and Dostoevsky.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree with honors from Milan State University, majoring in Foreign Languages and Literature, and have been working as a private Russian teacher ever since.
In 2019
In 2025
I graduated with honors from the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute with a Master’s degree, where I specialized in Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (RKI).
I focus on teaching Russian as a Foreign Language (RKI) at advanced levels, drawing on all my academic knowledge and extensive teaching experience.
Currently
Modern materials and real-world Russian
I create custom materials based on authentic resources. We dive into subjects like burnout, conspiracy theories, cancel culture, modern art, and AI. You’ll learn the Russian that people actually use today.
Result-oriented method and systematic review
The materials I create are exciting and relevant, yet methodologically precise to ensure real progress. I place a massive emphasis on regular review. You simply won't have a chance to forget what we’ve covered!
Comprehensive training
We train all aspects of the language: speaking, reading, listening, and writing (priority depends on your goals).
Interactive tech stack
We meet on Zoom and use interactive Miro boards to keep our workspace visual, organized, and engaging.
You’ve reached a solid B1+ level and you can already hold a conversation, but...
You find yourself stuck using the same repetitive, "safe" phrases.
You feel lost during spontaneous communication or fast-paced conversations.
You struggle to express your thoughts as deeply and vividly as you do in your native language.
You’ve noticed that natives speak differently from the dialogues in your old textbooks.
You’re ready for more, but you don’t know where to start.

CERTIFICATES & reviews
Good and fair approach. Teacher is immediately creating a friendly atmosphere which helps in learning. Very useful learning tools, well managed by teacher.
Olesia is a competent teacher as well as a very pleasant person. She introduced me to Russian grammar very clearly, and the lessons are always stimulating.
Great Start! I like the fluent Italian level in combination with the mother tongue Russian. Teacher is patient and funny at the same time.
Olesia is extremely detail oriented, which allows me from forming poor pronunciation and grammatical habits. Looking forward to the next lesson!
From the very first lesson I immediately felt at ease and I appreciated so much how Olesya is able to build the lessons around the student's needs perfectly.
Every lesson with her is a pleasure, we cover very interesting topics and I feel completely comfortable in speaking. Olesia has so much patience and you can sense how much she cares about her students and how much she enjoys teaching!
Olesia always offers me diversified exercises, useful for practicing different language skills including speaking, writing and listening; she cares about making you understand why certain grammar choices are made, not just giving the general rule but going beyond that.
Olesia is a really pleasant and interesting person, always willing to help you even outside of regular classes. You cannot find better than that.
Olesia was available for correcting the exercises I sent her and always managed to resolve my doubts by explaining the topics very clearly!
