Galina is full of passion and love for the Russian language, and that makes her a wonderful teacher to our two girls. Our children started learning Russian with Galina 2... read more years ago when they had zero knowledge of the language.They have since progressed to being able to say phrases to introduce themselves, talk about the weather, and ask for directions. Our oldest (13) is able to read in Russian and write cursive letters. Our youngest daughter (7) can have a simple conversation with me in Russian and can read many words. We are so grateful to Galina for her tailored approach to each of our girls, always considering their unique interests and making their lessons fun!
