About Alla M.

I’m Alla Maryina, known as The Russian Tutor, a private Russian tutor working with adult learners at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced students.

My background includes over 10 years of teaching experience, a B.A. in Linguistics, and an M.A. in Psychology. I have also worked as a Senior Russian Instructor for the U.S. Army (civilian), where I taught students in a structured, results-focused environment.

My teaching approach is clear, structured, and adapted to each student. I focus on helping you understand how Russian works, so you can build real confidence and use the language accurately, whether your goal is conversation, grammar, or exam preparation.

Lessons are always tailored to your needs, with a focus on consistency, clarity, and steady progress.
