Lidia is the best language teacher I have ever had in my 15
years and 3 different languages of study. Her passion for the language and her
dedication to her students shines through in every class. Lidia’s use of poetry
and classic texts not only instills enthusiasm for the culture, but also gives
encouragement to learn more beyond the class, making the whole experience much
more holistic that just learning grammar and vocabulary drills

It is hard to find a language teacher more passionate about
his/her language and culture than Lidia. She takes a keen personal interest in
each student, including their background, language aptitude and goals. She
likes to incorporate an overall cultural aspect to her teaching as well as
simply focusing on grammar. Her classes are fun, inspirational and educational.
One comes away from a class with Lidia imbued with an enthusiasm for studying
Russian. Another thing - -you will never be bored in one of her classes!

I'm happy to say that I'm a teacher myself and so I know
that Lidia's teaching is first-rate. I've studied Russian for a decade and
lived in Russia. Studying with Lidia has been the best thing yet for my
Russian. I came to her with a high level of Russian already and I've learned so
much. My Russian-speaking friends can hear the difference!

Lidia's class is never boring. I actually looked forward to
them every week, and came home afterward feeling happy and excited. Her lessons
are very holistic. She doesn't just teach grammar, or how to speak better, but
she actually covers every single aspect of learning a new language: from
pronunciation to reading to cultural issues, plus detailed grammar and
vocabulary. Almost every lesson includes videos, songs or folk stories, which
make one feel like all that learning is paying off. It was truly one of the
best language classes I've taken, and I can speak 4 languages

I sang Rachmaninoff songs for my recital last year and some
Russian piano teacher in Australia told me that my diction was perfect.
I thought of you!!
Thank you and take care.
