“Since 2006 Valeria Bogomolnaya has been instructing me in the Russian language. She has done a superb job and I owe her immeasurably for all the guidance and information she has provided me, as I speak Russian almost half of my work day assisting elderly patients in a very busy medical setting. She is patient, kind, very informative and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her as an instructor at any level of learning the Russian language.”

Dear Valeria, Thank you very much for your help with Russian. I enjoyed your lessons.”

Valeria is a wonderful teacher. She can specifically focus on whatever part of the complex Russian language that you wish to cover. I started her lessons nearly two years ago and my Russian has markedly improved. If you want to advance your Russian reading, speaking, and writing comprehension Valeria is the teacher to see.

“Мы говорим по русски дома, но расширить запас слов на русском нашей девятилетней дочки нам нелегко. А усадить читать книжку по русски была задача вообще непосильная. Но когда она начала брать уроки в Russian School of Boston, все стало меняться к лучшему. Она постоянно радует нас употреблением и новых слов - из литературы - и живого современного языка. Я думаю тут дело и в личности учителя - интеллигентнейшего человека с прекрасным педагогическим образованием. И что материал преподаеться с в включением современных “технологий “ - фильмов и презентаций. Мои дети занимались в нескольких русских школах в Бостоне - но это лучшая!”

“I think this is the best school! My son was born in the US . His Russian was fine before the school. Once he started the school I noticed decline, he started making more mistakes and switching to English more often. He has Russian class once a week. We started almost 2 years ago. He now reads and writes in Russian better than peers his age in Russia. His vocabulary is growing. I am very pleased with the results and recommend the school to all my friends. Also, his homework assignments are realistic and most of the time we manage to complete them during the week . I like friendly atmosphere and personal touch in this school.”

Hello Valeria,
I'm sure you remember that you translated 2 passports from my grandparents back in February. Your work has helped me research the Russo Japanese war of 1905 that I now know the battalion that my grandfather was part of. I now have a pretty good idea about where he was injured during that war. Please know that your help was greatly appreciated by my family.
