About Maxim
I am a Doctor of Philology from Sorbonne University and hold a PhD in Classics from KU Leuven. Originally from Russia, I am a native speaker of Russian and have lived in Paris for nearly 15 years, where French became my second native and professional language. Now based in Glasgow, UK, I am conducting research in philology and palaeography at the University of Glasgow. My academic interests focus on Byzantine Greek philology, palaeography, the New Testament manuscript tradition, and the history of Byzantium. Passionate about languages and teaching, I offer private lessons in Ancient Greek, Russian, French, and Church Slavonic at all levels, conducted in English, French, or Russian.

Ancient Greek & Byzantine Greek Tutor – All Levels – Glasgow & Online
Doctor of Philology (Sorbonne University) • PhD in Classics (KU Leuven) • Currently researching philology and palaeography at the University of Glasgow
I offer engaging lessons in Ancient Greek and Byzantine Greek for students of all levels. We cover grammar and syntax, reading Classical texts, Christian authors and Church Fathers, as well as palaeography — working directly with Byzantine manuscripts.
My teaching method combines solid grammatical theory with hands-on textual practice from the very first lesson. You will explore the language from multiple angles: reading medieval manuscripts, detailed grammar study, and careful reading with commentary on ancient and religious texts — including biblical passages, writings of the Holy Fathers, and liturgical material.
Many students particularly enjoy this unique approach as a wonderful way to gain direct access to the spiritual and intellectual world of Orthodox Christianity.
Lessons are available in-person in Glasgow or online, and can be taught in English, French, or Russian.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Maxim is an outstanding teacher of Greek. What sets him apart is the way he combines linguistic precision with a real feel for the language as it is used. Lessons with him are structured, lively, and carefully adapted to the student. He is generous with his time, always ready to help, and creates an atmosphere in which it is easy to ask questions and improve. I recommend him warmly to anyone beginning or continuing Greek.
I studied Russian with Maxim and made far more progress than I expected. He explains grammar clearly without making it feel heavy, and he always finds a way to keep the lessons practical. He is patient, encouraging, and genuinely interested in how you learn. If you want a teacher who is both rigorous and easy to work with, I would recommend him without hesitation.
Maxim taught me French. He is wonderful — very helpful and kind. I would highly recommend him to anyone. His method is excellent.
I studied Byzantine Greek with Maxim for nine months, both online and in person in Paris and Belgium. I found him through the Apprentus platform.
As a teacher he is very attentive and always prepares a programme suited to my level and needs. He is also dynamic and very kind. Thanks to his lessons I have really improved my skills in Byzantine Greek and I am very happy with the progress I have made. He has been extremely helpful throughout.
I highly recommend him for Greek, and I know he also offers several other languages.View more recommendations
