Elena has tutored me in the Russian language, and she was the best tutor I have had! She too the time to understand my goals and worked with me in the way that was best for ME! I had only a few weeks, and she developed a plan that would help me using materials I had already purchased. Her flexibility, personal approach, and knowledge of Russian and English make her an excellent choice for a tutor!

I have also come to know her as friend and see her passion for helping others. FIFL is not just a business to Elena, but a way for her to serve others. I would strongly recommend her company to anyone who needs translation or language-learning services.

I've taken Russian language lessons from Elena Tobias through FIFL Interpretations for not quite a month
now, and have been amazed at my progress in the language. Elena is a patient and extraordinarily
competent intstructor who is obviously at ease with teaching others.

Before finding FIFL Interpretations, I had made some progress in teaching myself Russian. On my first day
at FIFL Interpretations, I found that one of the books they use is the same book that I had used. With
Elena's guidance, not only have I progressed through the material far more quickly, but I have learned it
much more thoroughly. The difference between learning from just a book and learning from a native speaker
and qualified instructor is immeasurable.

If you want to learn Russian or any other language, I cannot recommend FIFL
Interpretations enough.
