"Marina helped me with my Russian during the four years it took to get from absolute beginner to advanced speaker with a first-class degree. Throughout that time she was a wonderful teacher, always enthusiastic, friendly, supportive and thorough. She sourced a wide range of materials for our lessons in her own time, including grammar exercises, topical articles and relevant books, which meant that learning was always an engaging experience. She consulted me about my goals and what I wanted to achieve, and went beyond the call of duty to help me achieve them. Marina gave me the confidence to believe I really could succeed in Russian, and especially speak it fluently. I highly recommend her as a teacher to anyone looking to learn this beautiful language, whatever their current level of knowledge."Anne — Beginner to First-Class Honours Degree
"Marina Fountain is an extraordinary and extremely dedicated teacher. I have studied Russian Language with her for two years — every lesson has been packed full of fun and intense learning. Marina genuinely goes above and beyond for her students, and it is because of this dedication that I passed Russian A-level with a Grade A and am now off to study Russian Language at Queen Mary University of London. I cannot speak highly enough of her teaching abilities."
"Marina is an amazing tutor! She is very patient and explains everything clearly until you understand it. I made a lot of progress in my time studying with her. She also taught me a lot about Russian culture and used different methods such as songs, videos and news articles to explore the Russian language as it's used every day by native speakers. I would highly recommend Marina as a tutor, no matter your level of Russian or what you want to achieve."
