I have got 10 years tutoring and 4 years teaching experience. I worked in state and independent schools, taught at the University and as a private tutor both back in the UK and overseas.

Having taught several business clients (from law, banking, SME sectors) I am confident that we can find your own way into Business Russian even if you have lack of time and should undergo for frequent business trips.

My hourly rate starts from £36 (discounted for students, UCL alumni and members of staff, over 65s, members of the Vegetarian Society)

I deliver live online lessons via special elearning software boasting audio and video transmissions, chat, whiteboard, sharing powerpoint applications and urls.

I can also teach via Skype and by phone when necessary (eg when you are on business trips or holidays with limited access to PC).
Where and with whom did you train?
I trained at the University of St Petersburg, Russia.
Tell me about some of your current students.
My current students are from the corporate world working for leading banks and hedge funds in London. they study Russian to use it when they occasionally visit Russia and work with Russian clients and partners.
I also have two students working in the public sector who enjoy the language as it brings them closer to the Russian culture (literature and theatre).
Finally, I tutor an A-level student who enjoys learning languages and has got particular passion for Russian.
Do you have a personal message for students?
'Not failure, but low aim, is crime' - these words by James Russell Lowell are totally applicable when we speak about learning languages.

'Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice'. /A. Chekhov/

My Testimonials

Ignaty is an excellent tutor of Russian language with very professional approach. He makes every lesson very interesting, bringing his sense of humour and outlook on the topics discussed in conversations... Ignaty has been an absolute pleasure to deal with right from my initial email to discuss my lessons till current date and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any individual or company who is interested in learning Russian language.
- Martina
I've been learning Russian for over two years now and I've tried out a number of different Russian teachers from different companies. I can say that, without a doubt, Ignaty Dyakov has been by far the most outstanding teacher. His lessons are professional and extremely fun at the same time thanks to his friendly nature and good sense of humour. Most importantly - for me at least - he will immediately hone in on any problems you have and help you solve them (often without you even realising!).
- Richard P (1 of 2)
Ignaty is knowledgeable and very well informed about Russian culture; the Russian I have learned with Ignaty has always been accompanied by interesting cultural insights. Finally, I am always surprised at how impeccably punctual Ignaty is given the horrors of the London transport system!
- Richard P (2 of 2)
I’d like to recommend Ignaty Dyakov as a professional Russian teacher; I am fully satisfied with his 1 to 1 lessons. For those who prefer to study on their own, but need a tutor to co-ordinate their progress, Ignaty would definitely be your the best choice in London.
- Robert
Taking this course with Ignaty has provided me with excellent grounding in the language and has been a highlight of the last couple of months. He has the patience of a saint (!) and is exceptionally knowledgeable. It’s incredibly helpful that Ignaty has such extensive multi-lingual capabilities. His enthusiasm and knowledge has inspired me to explore the Russian culture further to the extent that my next holiday is being spent in St Petersburg. Thanks Ignaty!
- Mags
Thank you, Ignaty. I really enjoyed these several months of lessons. They were really useful.
- Hugh
Excellent teacher, strict but fair. Knows lots of interesting stories to make lessons smoother and more enjoyable. Miss him.
- Zhanna
I have been having private Russian Tuition from Ignaty for a period of 4 months during which I received outstanding education from a highly qualified, intelligent and pleasant individual. The lessons were result focussed, fun and interesting. Besides learning the language itself, I also learned a lot about the actual Russian culture. I can highly recommend these language courses to anyone who requires to be conversational in the Russian language in a short period of time.
