About
Are you looking for a language tutor with fifteen years of experience — someone who tailors every lesson to the learner and builds not just skills, but confidence? You’re in the right place. I offer personalized French, Russian, and German lessons for both children and adults. My lessons focus on developing fluency across comprehension, writing, and pronunciation, always with an eye toward each student’s individual goals. While I enjoy working with learners of all ages, I specialize in teaching teens and younger students (ages eight and up), creating an engaging environment where they can thrive. ZOOM ONLY

Kristina makes learning French fun. I appreciate her making conversation with me in French everytime we speak. Even if I can’t respond in French or I don’t fully understand her, it makes me more accustomed to hearing French I’m conversation. This is useful because in movies or videos usually people talk too fast for me to even catch a word or two. But with Kristina I can clearly understand her words. She also adds her personal touch to lessons with songs or web series translated in French so you can tie the dialogs you know in English, back to French

Kristina did an exceptional job in helping my son with his German studies. In less than 45 days, she covered the entire German 1 syllabus with him, and he successfully passed. She went above and beyond by creating audio files for him to practice listening comprehension, administering tests, and always coming to sessions fully prepared. I’m extremely satisfied with her dedication and effectiveness. I will definitely recommend her and plan to continue working with her, especially as my son is now interested in taking the German Level 1 - A1 certification.

Kristina has been wonderful so far with her style of teaching. Her lessons are affordable and I feel like I’m moving through German fast because she makes sure to cover fundamental concepts in a way that’s both engaging and fun. She’s very patient and understanding if I’m struggling with a concept or vocabulary and assigns homework that challenges me and lets me explore new vocabulary on my own. I’ve really enjoyed having her as a teacher and would recommend her to others just starting to learn German or any other language she offers.
