My review for Smart Russian: 5/5 I have been having lessons with Tanya for several months. I am very happy with our lessons and my progress. I already feel a great improvement.
She is a very professional and experienced teacher, who pays careful attention to my language and helps correct all my mistakes, which I need.
She gives me great structure to my learning and regularly keeps me busy with homework tasks. Most of all she explains very clearly many of the difficult and subtle aspects of the language, which you cannot find in student books or by yourself.
I realised that Russian is not a language that you can study alone. Even most native speakers can't explain how the language works. That is why it's very important to have a professional teacher.

This was my third attempt to learn Russian and it was the only one which succeeded. Other teachers I tried couldn't seem to connect with the way I needed to be taught. I see progress in my Russian every day.

Дорогая Катя, этот год оставил после себя только лучшие воспоминания... Вы были самым лучшим и сочувствующим преподавателем в моей жизни. Спасибо за Ваш труд, надеюсь, что в будущем я достигну успеха и стану таким человеком, что Вы будете мной гордится. Вы мне очень дороги и я желаю Вам всего наилучшего.
Я думаю, что занятия с Таней Сёмке очень помогли мне почувствовать себя более уверенно в разговоре. Мне приятно, что моя учительница исправляет мои ошибки во время занятий. Таня даёт мне доступное расписание. Мой учитель всегда превосходит мои ожидания. Я люблю, что Таняэксперт в области преподавания, и у неё есть собственный материал для обучения.

Sasha Fedoseeva is genuinely a great teacher that will help you learn Russian as long as you're willing to put in the work required. And I can honestly say she makes more of an effort than I have ever done for my lessons. Even when I wanted to give up learning and just spend the remaining lessons speaking English (due to my full schedule making it hard to study), she refused to make it "easy" and made me study during the lessons. In the end she single handedly gave me back...
Зравствуйте! Меня зовут Хуссейн из Саудовской Аравии. Сегодня я хочу поделиться с вами о моём опыте в учёбе русского языка ну сначала вам нужно узнать, что я имеею бакалавриат на русском языке, где получил на него в 2009 году в моей стране, однако я заметил, что я плохо говорю по-русски потому что в моём городе я не практикую русский язык с русскими людьми, и как вы знаете в то время нет социальных сети, где помогают нам в общениии с русскими преподавателями.Слава богу теперь мы легче можем общаться и учиться, поэтому я зарегстрировал в Smart Russian чтобы улучшить свой уровень в русском языке особено в течение говорения, ведь я хорошо понимаю русский язык, но плохо говорю по-русски. Сначала я зарегстрировал в практическом курсе онлайи и каждый день я занимался русским языком в разных темах с Таней за месяц потом я взял индивидуальный курс 3 раза в неделю я общаюсь с Таней. Таня замечательный преподаватель она всегда помогает мне и мотивирует меня чтобы развываться на лучше, и действительно спустя 2 месяца я заметил мое развитие. Я стал более уверенно(happyface) сейчас я могу говорить лучше чем раньше и скоро я стану туристическим гидом благодаря Smart Russian.

It's impossible to speak Russian beautifully and confidently if you don't know, remember poorly, or don't understand how to use cases—i.e., how to change different words in various situations. Cases are the hallmark of the Russian language, its defining feature. They are omnipresent! Even in the shortest Russian phrases, you'll find some case usage. Russians modify words to convey the subtlest nuances of meaning. It's hard to imagine the Russian language without cases. The sooner you master them, the smoother your further Russian language acquisition will be.
For A2-B2 levels, this course offers a unique approach to mastering one of the most challenging yet essential grammar topics. In a small group setting, you'll receive individualized, detailed feedback from the teacher, making it easy to grasp Russian cases.
