Oxana is the best !

In my mock oral I received a scores of 24/50. I then took lessons with Oxana and my score improved to 48/50 which is double ! I would definitely recommend!

Receive tutoring to help master the Russian language
I am a college student, struggling through my Russian language major. I discovered Oxana online, through language sites. I emailed her right away. She was flexible with her time, even with our 7 hour time difference. She interviewed me over skype, to see my level of knowledge. Then, she created lessons that challenged me but also were to the level of my knowledge. From there, my knowledge of Russian language began to improve.

I have improved in my Russian.

Excellent Tutor!
I have been learning Russian with Oxana for the last 18 months having no prior knowledge of the language. I can now read and write using the Cyrillic alphabet and have a good understanding of grammar and vocabulary which pays tribute to Oxana's patience and ability to explain things clearly. Oxana is well organised, capable and extremely professional with her approach to teaching. Oxana provides varied and creative methods of teaching which helps the student to be more relaxed, attentive and above all, enjoy the lesson.
Although I consider myself to be a beginner/intermediate, it is obvious to me that Oxana's ability to teach the Russian language will extend to any level.

Dedicated and fun Russian teacher
Written by Irene Van Der Byl K
Oxana has been a patient and dedicated Russian teacher to me. She tailors our lessons to my interests and the topics that I need to work on, such as business Russian. She is always well prepared for our lessons, with a varied range of tasks from different text books and sources, even music. The lessons are a good balance of grammar, conversation and reading. Oxana chooses fun topics for lessons too – often with focus on interesting Russian traditions. She has many suggestions on films and ways to work on Russian outside our classes. Finally Oxana is very committed – helping out with work-related Russian language queries outside class time if. Thank you Oxana!

Reference for Oxana Novikova
Written by Artemiy B
I am happy to write a reference for Oxana Novikova, the tutor for Russian language.
Oxana was tutoring my son for Russian GCSE for 2 years by skype and he got grade 9 this year (2019). My son recently commented that without training with Oxana he would not achieve this result and he is very happy for that. During these two years of tutoring he always was happy with the lessons, he enjoyed them. As a parent I can say that I was very happy with Oxana’s tutoring. She organised the lessons in an interesting and demanding way and found the methods to communicate with my teenage son so that he was always responsible for his studies. Oxana prepared a lot of homework and reading material for the lessons and all the homework should be done and send back to Oxana prior the next lesson to discuss - and that was my son's responsibility. As a result, my son not only passed his GCSE well, but also improved his vocabulary and use the language more correct.
Oxana is flexible (when we need to go somewhere, we never had a problem in rescheduling a lesson or change the lesson duration), friendly person and experienced teacher. I definitely recommend her.

Fantastic tutor - highly recommend
Written by Steven A
Over one year Iv had oksana has my tutor. Prior to my visit I had no knowledge of the Russian alphabet or system behind the Russian language.. But oksana was a fantastic teacher , very calm and made me feel at ease . She always helped if I needed help during home tasks responding to my messages instantly. She seemed more happier than me when I was progressing which showed her dedication to seeing her students succeed. I’m happy with my progress and it was an interesting journey during my tuition. She always mixed up lessons to make it fun and enjoyable and when needed she could make it more serious. If you decided to choose oksana you won’t be disappointed.

I can roll my R's
Written by Nicholas W
I first wanted to learn Russian to have a meaningful conversation with my girlfriend’s family (I just wanted to know want she was saying about me). She has been in the UK since she was 5 and her English is perfect. However, her family live in Russia and speak limited English.
I’ve been learning Russian with Oxana for the best part of 3 years. I began knowing a few letters of the alphabet, now I read articles, understand blogs and speak with a high degree of articulation; I can roll my ‘R’s!!!!
As a native English speaker, Russian is not the easiest language to learn. Oxana takes the time to get to know you and leverages your interests, combining traditional learning with tailored additional content. Rather than drilling grammar we would plays games, I’ve become quite the master strategist at noughts and Crosses!!
Oxana is becoming quite the Social Media superstar. Whenever I’m bored with work, I can find her content online and learn some new abstract phrases. These have come in use and really help bridge some gaps –

Hello to my potential students:)
I can have ONLINE Russian lessons by Zoom with you. My name is Oxana. I am a native speaker of Russian, currently living in Manchester (in the UK), university educated with years of teaching experience of Russian and English as a foreign language.
I offer high quality Russian language courses online via Zoom for foreign students of all levels. I don’t give offline lessons.
I can help you to choose an appropriate individual educational program, and the quantity of hours per week. As for duration, I would recommend one hour and a half lesson twice a week.
As for the way of teaching, I use the communicative method. The main focus is on using the language. You start speaking Russian from the very first lesson. Russian grammar will be introduced to you in a clear structured format - you will see that there is an understandable logic. You will not be overloaded with grammar tasks and will learn only as much grammar as you need in order to speak and understand Russian.
We could meet up in Zoom and have the initial interview just to discuss all the questions that you may have. We can do it today or any other day that is suitable to you. The study material will be provided for free via Dropbox or on ProgressMe/Edvibe platform.
Edvibe is a modern linguistic learning interactive platform where every my student has access to the course materials, home assignments, and vocabulary in their personal accounts.
The lessons are very engaging ( there will be lots of interesting and interactive games and activities such as guessing games, miming games, dice games, role plays, case studies, tongue twisters and etc)
Besides I use and create study material in various formats for my students. I create online russian language quests, Russian online quizzez, study animated videos, video presentations and make amazing interactive online exercises for my students.
I am looking forward to hearing from you. If you have other questions, feel free to ask me.
Best regards,
Oxana
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
As a complete beginner, I have been learning Russian online with Oxana for some seven months. She is a native Russian speaker, having been born, raised and educated in Volgograd, but also speaks and writes excellent English. She is extremely personable, enthusiastic, conscientious and well-organised. Her lessons are invariably well-prepared, creative, interactive and highly enjoyable, and are designed so that grammar and vocabulary are revisited regularly to facilitate and reinforce their retention in memory. She has never missed or been late for an online lesson, she always sends lesson reminders by email the day before, and she sets homework in accordance with my needs, time and availability. In conclusion, I would thoroughly recommend her as a Russian tutor.
We have very much enjoyed our interaction with Oxana. She has put a lot of efforts and dedication to make the sessions enjoyable and very productive. We are happy to recommend her most strongly as a tutor.

she is very profesnal and using all the online clasess tool to improve my russian language. i really enjoyed her lesson . it was very fun classes. she knows how to teach russian language. i am taking a summer break and taking more clasess with her in september. cheersLessons with Oxana are well prepared, she 's punctual in her Rendez-vous via Skype and flexible if needed for a calendar change. We have a great interaction and I am learning in a fun way. She includes cultural aspects, uses a structured course-book for a graduated build-up or deviates at times for a specific topic, even on request.
In the beginning, I was stuck not finding a satisfactory learning curve but with patience she smoothed it out and got me to a level today where I am fairly proud and get compliments from my entourage.Oxana was recommended to us by a friend - she tutored their son, who subsequently achieved 9 in Russian GCSE. My daughter also wanted to sit Russian GCSE. She could speak and write some in Russian but not well: her vocabulary was quite limited and she was making a lot of mistakes when speaking and writing. Oxana tutored my daughter for about a year. The lessons were very well structured and there was a lot of weekly homework that took my daughter some time to get used to. However, in a month or so after they started, my daughter picked up the pace and this had paid off. Her Russian had improved a lot and she felt quite confident going into the exam, finding it very manageable after practicing with Oxana. We have not received the results yet, however expect them to be good. Also, my daughter enjoyed her lessons with Oxana which helped her progress relatively fast.
This is an update on my earlier reference for Oxana as we have now received the result for my daughter's Russian GCSE. She achieved 9. Needless to say, we are very pleased with the outcome and grateful to Oxana for preparing our daughter so well for the exam. Also, this was the only GCSE that she wasn't stressed about. As I mentioned earlier, I would recommend Oxana as a tutor in Russian without any hesitation.I am writing in support of the application made by Oxana Novikova for employment as a tutor on this site. I have known Oxana for over a year, while she has been teaching and preparing our son for Russian GCSE.
Ms Novikova has been very professional throughout the tutoring period, well prepared for each session and always on time. We saw that she is interested in our son's progress, as she was always keen to discuss with us major issues and strategies to move forward. She is a very nice and approachable person, and our son really enjoyed his lessons.
It was important for us that Oxana was familiar with the exam board syllabus, so we were reassured that our son would be very well prepared for his GCSE. She gave him very useful strategies how to tackle the most difficult tasks and how to improve his weak points. Thoughtfully prepared regular homework helped our son to improve confidently and steadily with his language skills and expand his vocabulary. He has made an enormous progress and is looking forward to his exam in several months time.
We feel fortunate indeed to have found Oxana and recommend her wholeheartedly.Oxana is a brilliant Russian tutor. She is very versatile and helps to gain massive knowledge in a short amount of time. She is always keen to improve your skills to maximum

Oxana is a very friendly and entusistic teacher. She found an individual approach to my teenage twin boys who had some basic knowledge of Russian, but needed improvement. They find their russian lessons quite useful and enjoyable. Having them on Skype saves time on travelling. Oxana is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend her.
