I did a sample lesson with Anastasia D; it was great. Anastasia D was clear, patient, and engaging throughout. A strong first impression—easy recommendation.

Tutor Bio
Privet! My name is Anastasia, I was born and raised in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. I'm a University English professor with a Masters Degree in foreign languages. But I have always been passionate about my native language, so I got my PhD in the field of Comparative Russian and English Linguistics. Back in Russia I was a University professor and a tutor.
As a professional I take my work seriously and always make sure my students put forth their best efforts. At the same time my passion for the arts & traveling feed my creativity and positive outlook, allowing me to keep my job fun for my students and self.
Based in Middletown, Connecticut

My favorite word is "Душа" - " Soul". This word has a very deep meaning, especially for the Russian speakers. Russian people always put their soul in everything they do.
