About me
Hey there! I grew up bilingual in Germany (German/Russian) and now I’d call myself trilingual (+English). I work in the film industry and regularly help colleagues with accent training. I absolutely love supporting people in their learning journey, especially when it comes to pronunciation, expression, and building confidence. For me, language lessons are not just about grammar; they’re about making real connections.
I've taught children, teenagers, and young adults for several years, and I’m increasingly guiding adults in language and accent training. In my classes, I place a strong emphasis on making learning enjoyable and feeling natural: no dry grammar lessons here, just lively, intuitive language use with plenty of speaking time. I work with everyday topics and realistic scenarios so my students can truly apply the language—because traditional classroom teaching didn’t do much for me in real life.
Learning languages should be fun! And that’s exactly what you’ll find with me. I’m patient and have a good sense for linguistic stumbling blocks. Plus, I’m very consistent when it comes to correcting mistakes. Whether you want to overcome inhibitions, improve your accent, or just speak more fluently without getting in your head: we’ll find your path together. With fun and without pressure. From beginners to advanced learners - you’re in the right place with me!

For me, Elsa is the best German teacher because from the very first lessons we started learning useful phrases and discussing topics that I need for life in Germany. She always listens to my requests and conducts classes on topics that are relevant to me. For example, before my vacation, she held several lessons on communication in hotels, which was very helpful for me. It has become much easier for me to communicate with people in various situations. It also helps a lot that Elsa knows Russian. This way, I hear the correct pronunciation and real phrases, while also receiving explanations of grammar in my native language.

At first, my impression of Elsa was very positive. (As I wrote below) However, this week it changed significantly. Five hours before the scheduled lesson on Friday, she wrote to us that the lesson might not take place because she is at the Berlin Film Festival. Until the last minute, it was unclear whether the lesson would happen or not. We tried to arrange a meeting, but it remained unclear until the end. When we then saw that no one was in the lesson, it became clear to us that she would not come. After that, we rescheduled the appointment to Sunday at 12 o'clock. But even then, she was initially not there. As an explanation, she wrote that she thought we were in the same time zone and asked if we could join in half an hour. We did that, and the lesson finally took place. However, it was very uncomfortable for my daughter that the teacher ate during the lesson. I understand if someone drinks a glass of water or tea, or if there is a medical emergency (for example, hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes), but eating soup during the lesson seems very unprofessional to me. ————————— (Below was my first impression of Elsa): Already after the first lesson, my daughter was excited about Elsa and has been looking forward to the lessons with her ever since. My daughter is an absolute beginner in German and is just taking her first steps in this new language. Thanks to Elsa, she is learning German through the Russian language, which makes her very happy, as she can practice two foreign languages at the same time. I can already see that she is making quick progress – completely without stress, without pressure, but with joy, motivation, and fun in learning.
