Natalia

Hello! I’m a native Russian speaker from Estonia with over 25 years of teaching experience, including 15 years in Estonia and more than 10 years at an international school in the UK. I have also worked in English schools with English students, preparing them for GCSE and A-Level Russian exams, as well as supporting bilingual learners.

I hold degrees in Pedagogy and Psychology and have completed the official Pearson training courses for teaching Russian GCSE and A-Level with the latest UK exam requirements. I have full access to exam board updates and past papers, which allows me to keep my lessons completely up to date.

Over the years, more than 100 of my students have successfully passed their Russian exams, consistently achieving GCSE grades 8–9 and A-Level grades A–A*. I tailor lessons to each student’s needs, making learning both effective and engaging, while ensuring exam success with confidence.

I am DBS checked and safeguarding certified, and teaching has always been my passion – helping every student achieve their best results

Availability: I am available from 4.30pm every working day.

Experience: I worked as a psychologist in an Estonian school, assisting students with learning difficulties and teaching psychology. I hold a pedagogical degree as well. After relocating to the UK, I started working at an International Saturday School as a Russian teacher. During the week, I served as a teacher assistant in an English school. I successfully completed the `Ready to Teach New Russian GCSE` program by Pearson. Many of my online and offline students have achieved outstanding success, passing the Russian GCSE with a grade of 9.
