Mariya is a gifted teacher in multiple disciplines. She is a professional opera singer and performs all over the United States and internationally, and has a Master of Music and Postgraduate Diploma in Vocal Performance. She is also multilingual and excels in teaching French, Russian, and English diction to singers as well as French language lessons to students of all ages and levels. I have seen her language students go from zero to fluency, and heard her singing students improve their skills and confidence in performance. Teaching online, Mariya harnesses technology to improve your experience in a seamless way. I think any student of classical singing and/or French language would benefit from lessons with Mariya.

I have MM and PGD degrees from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, have been teaching voice since undergrad, and have been tutoring French since high school.
