A native speaker Helen teaches Russian and English as a second language.

Jelena is doing an amazing job teaching me. She is patient, flexible, consistent, and professional. She encourages me as well. I can see myself progressing every week. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wishing to learn Russian.

Amazing teacher with great personality.
- huge understanding how to get your interest in improving your vocabulary “luggage”;
- her method of teaching is so in future you’d USE the language , not so you’d just store it somewhere back in memory;
- open minded and fully enthusiastic about easing the process , if you struggle.


She does a great job teaching how to deal with shyness and all other barriers , that you meet on your way studying foreign language.

For example, with me it all started with simple talks , which afterwards turned into ability to fluency of ruling the conversation. Only for two years I’ve took classes with her , which made me so confident , so I’ve stood out in international company and gotten high position, caused by skills that I’ve got from her. Can’t leave without a mention the quantity of friends around the world , since I feel myself free in speech.

Also , she not only taught me how to talk , but to listen as well (most needed thing to be true).

Knows how to cheer you up when you need it , and herself ,as an example how much she’s done for bringing the language to masses, it’s the best motivation.

I have had Helen as a school English teacher for more than 3 years. She is the best teacher I have ever known. Very professional, creative and fun. Really recommend!

Teacher Jelena was my teacher a year ago. Her lessons were innovative, she always wanted to diversify our studying time and taught us in interesting form, and as a result students better learned a new information.
