English and Russian teacher with 27 years of experience gives lessons in Leicester.

Jelena is doing an amazing job teaching me. She is patient, flexible, consistent, and professional. She encourages me as well. I can see myself progressing every week. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wishing to learn Russian.

Amazing teacher with great personality.
- huge understanding how to get your interest in improving your vocabulary “luggage”;
- her method of teaching is so in future you’d USE the language , not so you’d just store it somewhere back in memory;
- open minded and fully enthusiastic about easing the process , if you struggle.


She does a great job teaching how to deal with shyness and all other barriers , that you meet on your way studying foreign language.

For example, with me it all started with simple talks , which afterwards turned into ability to fluency of ruling the conversation. Only for two years I’ve took classes with her , which made me so confident , so I’ve stood out in international company and gotten high position, caused by skills that I’ve got from her. Can’t leave without a mention the quantity of friends around the world , since I feel myself free in speech.

Also , she not only taught me how to talk , but to listen as well (most needed thing to be true).

Knows how to cheer you up when you need it , and herself ,as an example how much she’s done for bringing the language to masses, it’s the best motivation.

I have had Helen as a school English teacher for more than 3 years. She is the best teacher I have ever known. Very professional, creative and fun. Really recommend!

Teacher Jelena was my teacher a year ago. Her lessons were innovative, she always wanted to diversify our studying time and taught us in interesting form, and as a result students better learned a new information.
