Maria — your guide into the realm of language
Hey wandering stranger! I’m excited to see you taking the next step on your journey. My name is Maria, I am a bilingual (RU/ENG) English tutor and a language enchantress. I have lived in an English-speaking environment for the past 10+ years, attending school in Geneva and Nice, and later enrolling into a university in London to continue my studies and eventually moving into the work force. Currently, I am situated between Nice, Bratislava and Saint-Petersburg, offering my teaching expertise online.
my method
I believe in teaching real, everyday English — the kind you’ll actually use. No boring drills or robotic textbook phrases here! From day one, I’ll get you talking, no matter your level. I’ll gently correct you as we go and send you a handy vocabulary list after each lesson, so new words and phrases truly stick.
Our lessons will be built around your interests — think speaking clubs, trending memes, slang, and even English-speaking content creators. Expect fun quizzes, lively chats, and a sprinkle of humor along the way. Learning a language should feel exciting, not like a chore!
I help my students break through language barriers by creating open, engaging lessons on modern topics. My approach? Speaking first, grammar second. Don’t worry — we’ll cover all the essentials along the way, but my main goal is to help you speak with confidence, without fear.
My path to teaching
The tale of how I became an English tutor is woven like a spell — unexpected, inevitable, and full of destiny’s whispers.
For years, my grandfather urged me to monetize my language knowledge, to turn words into something meaningful. But at that time I was chasing different dreams — I wished to be a fashion designer, then a marketer, and later a graphic designer. My path felt ever-shifting, like a river searching for its course.
Summer of 2024 — I returned to my hometown of St. Petersburg and hosted an in-person speaking club. The moment I stepped into that space, something clicked. The energy was electric yet grounding, the discussions flowed like poetry, and the joy in the room felt almost otherworldly. My heart whispered, “This is it. This is yours.”
That night, as I journeyed home with tears of joy shimmering like dewdrops, I knew — I had found my path. I longed to tell my (by this time) late grandfather he had been right all along, but I could only send my words up into the sky. I sent my gratitude into the celestial winds, knowing he would hear it nonetheless.
Now, each time I teach, guide, and create spaces for conversation, I feel that same spark, that same magic. It is a cosmic nudge, a guiding star, a sign from the universe that I am exactly where I’m meant to be.
