Our Story
Hello. I'm Rosti,
founder of Putnik School.
I am a professional foreign language teacher with over 6 years of experience teaching Russian. But my journey wasn't always straightforward.
Before I started teaching Russian, I didn't fully appreciate the beauty of my own native language or the depth of the "Russian Soul." It was only when I began seeing it through the eyes of my students that I fell in love with its logic and richness.
Teaching on various platforms, I realized a common problem: fear. Many students were overwhelmed by complex grammar tables and outdated methods. I decided to change that — and found the perfect balance between structure and freedom.
