Russian in Cornwall

WANT A TOP GRADE IN RUSSIAN?

I don’t just teach it — I MARK IT.

As an official Pearson Edexcel examiner, I see exactly why students lose marks… and what pushes answers into the top band. I’ll teach you how to do it right.

KNOW precisely what examiners are looking for
AVOID THE MISTAKES that cost easy marks
Turn your answers into full-mark responses

If you’re serious about a 8/9 or A/A* — message me.
RESULTS COME FROM STRATEGY!
not just hard work...

In Russia, we have a curious tradition: celebrating the Old New Year 🎄
It falls on 13–14 January and comes from the time when Russia followed the Julian calendar, which is now 13 days behind the Gregorian one used in the UK and most of the world.

Although it’s no longer an official holiday, many families still mark it quietly — with a small gathering, good food, and warm wishes. It’s less formal, more relaxed, and very much about togetherness.

These flowers were a lovely gift from my students as we had a little Old New Year celebration together here in Cornwall!
A small moment of Russian culture far from home — and a reminder that language is always tied to history, traditions, and people.

Старый Новый год — a tradition that refused to disappear…because one New Year is simply not enough 🪆❤️🎉🥂🇷🇺

Dear all,

Congratulations to you — and to the people around you who quietly made this possible. Learning something new never happens in isolation. It happens alongside family life, work, tired evenings, encouragement, patience, and sometimes simply giving someone the space and time to learn.

To parents, partners, and loved ones: thank you for your support, understanding, and interest. Your presence matters more than you may realise.

To my students: I hope Russian becomes something that gently enriches your life — a skill you can return to with confidence, curiosity, and pleasure, whenever you choose. Not a burden, not a race, but something that belongs to you.

It has been a privilege to work with you all. I wish you warmth, balance, and joy in everything you are learning — in languages and far beyond them.

With sincere congratulations and warm wishes,

Maria

🍁 Happy Knowledge Day, friends! 🍁

As the new school year begins, it’s worth remembering that Russian is not only a language of culture and communication, but also a valuable academic asset here in the UK.

Why should your child consider Russian?
🍁An extra GCSE with relatively little extra effort.
🍁 🍁 AS level equals 40% of an A level and 20 UCAS points.
🍁 🍁 🍁 An A level in Russian stands out on a university application – it shows both intellectual ability and broad interests.

Why prepare with me?
🪆I know exactly what examiners are looking for and how to help students achieve top marks.
🪆🪆I conduct the speaking exam myself – no surprises, no stress.
🪆🪆🪆Long-term partnerships with schools in Cornwall and Devon mean exams can be arranged in the most convenient way for your child.

🎉🎉🎉My students consistently achieve excellent results.

Feel free to reach out with any questions – together we can make learning Russian engaging and rewarding for your child.

С Днем Знаний, друзья мои. 🍁🍁🍁

В этот чудесный день и в преддверии нового учебного года, не лишне напомнить о том, что русский язык продолжает оставаться не только языком общения, но и безусловно востребован в школах и университетах страны.

Зачем это вашим детям?
Обойдем стороной этические вопросы, поговорим о практической составляющей:
1/ дополнительный GCSE без особых усилий;
2/ A level по-русскому в портфолио для университета говорит не только об интеллектуальных способностях студента, но и о разносторонних интересах.

Почему готовиться и сдавать экзамен именно со мной:
1/ я знаю не только как сдать, но и что ждут от вас экзаменаторы, как получить наибольшее количество баллов;
2/ я принимаю устный экзамен, в результате - нет повода для тревог, нет неожиданных вопросов;
3/ долгосрочное сотрудничество со школами Корнуолла и Девона позволяют организовать экзамен так, как удобно именно вашему ребенку;
4/ стабильные высокие результаты экзаменов.

Пишите, друзья мои, задавайте вопросы. Вместе сделаем так, чтобы вашему ребенку было интересно и комфортно.
Мария
