Experienced Russian teacher, native Croatian speaker and fluent in English, offering individualized Russian lessons both in person and online. Currently based in Christchurch.

I highly recommend Marta as a tutor. I know her through her work with my child, and she has always been incredibly calm, patient, and engaging. She creates a warm and comfortable environment where children feel relaxed and motivated to learn.

My child really enjoyed spending time and learning with her, which says a lot. Marta is kind, professional, and genuinely dedicated to what she does, and I would definitely recommend her to other parents and students.

When I began searching for a teacher, I was looking for someone who could tailor the lessons to my needs, so I wouldn’t have to spend too much time on topics I learn quickly and so we could work at a pace that suits me. I’m really happy with my progress because I’ve improved a lot in just a few months. I don’t think this would have been possible if I had chosen online group classes. Our online lessons always run smoothly, and Marta regularly sends me study materials and homework assignments. Learning with her allows me to study at my own speed, and I feel that we use our time together as effectively as possible.

Learning Russian with Marta is a great pleasure for me. It’s not just about learning the language, but about a friendly approach that immediately makes everything easier and more enjoyable. At first, I was skeptical about online learning, but with Marta it goes very smoothly. We arrange everything quickly, and changing the lesson time isn’t a problem if something unexpected comes up, which really makes my situation and learning much easier. Marta is very patient and gentle, so you never feel like you’re not doing well, even when you’re truly struggling with a certain area, and that’s why I look forward to every upcoming lesson. It’s great that she truly loves not only the Russian language, but also the culture, literature, film, and customs, so you really get the whole package.
