Natasha Hammond

I was born and raised in Saratov, Russia, which is on the Volga river. I love the crowded streets of Russian cities, which you can see from my photgraphs at the top of this website (taken during my last trip to Russia). At the bottom of this page is the view from the balcony of the ninth-story apartment where I grew up in Saratov.

I have a Masters of Russian Language and Literature from Saratov State University. I have lived in Phoenix, Arizona since 2002, but I have made several trips back to Russia. When I am in Russia, I am also available to do interviews in person. I have a history of finding the people for whom my clients are searching, even when they have moved and left little indication of where they might be.

I love teaching Russian. I am especially qualified to teach this language. Not only am I a native Russian, but the focus of my Masters degree was on teaching others how to speak, read, and write Russian.
