Why “Babushka”?
B for Babushka is named after my grandmother, Babushka Olga.
At her country house an hour from Moscow, over cups of tea and surrounded by her collection of books, she helped me with my Russian homework and read the classics with me, from Pushkin to Dostoevsky. She was patient and funny, and she made Russian feel warm, alive and close to home.
That is the feeling I want every lesson to have.
Meet Anastasia
I’m Anastasia, a Russian teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience and a degree in education.
I teach private lessons for kids and adults, in New York, the Hamptons and online, with plenty of room for the stories and books that make Russian come alive.
Whether you’re learning for family, for love of the language or to read the classics in the original, I’d be glad to help, just as Babushka Olga helped me.
