Raisa has been teaching my son for the last nine years and I could not be more grateful for her dedication and passion. She does far more than teach grammar, writing and reading — she inspires a true love for the Russian language, culture, and history. Through her lessons, my son has developed not only strong language skills, but also a deep appreciation and connection to his heritage. I feel very fortunate to have found such an exceptional teacher for my son!
Ms. Lee has taught my daughter Russian for over five years, during which my daughter has solidified her grasp of not only the Russian language, but also of Russian history, poetry, and the culture as a whole.
