About
Eleonora Kirpichnikova

Hello, and welcome! My name is Eleonora, and teaching languages has been my passion for more than 20 years. Russian is my native language, but my love for communication has led me to learn several others as well — I speak English and French fluently, a bit of German, and I’ve recently started learning Italian and Japanese. I hold a master’s degree in linguistics, a master’s degree in business administration, and a third master’s in education. Currently, I am pursuing my doctoral degree, continuing to expand my knowledge so I can bring even more value to my students. Over the years, I have created and published many textbooks designed to make Russian both accessible and engaging for learners around the world. These books cover everything from beginners’ basics to advanced skills for professional fluency, including DLPT and OPI exam preparation. My goal is always the same: to help students not only learn Russian, but also understand its culture, humor, and beauty. Outside of teaching, I am a creative spirit. I love reading, traveling, drawing, photography, sewing, cooking, and gardening. These passions often inspire the way I design my lessons and educational materials — full of life, color, and real-world connections.
