If you are able to work online with her, you could try www.manythings.org, and for printable things, www.usingenglish.com allows you to print out worksheets on a variety of grammar topics in the “ESL Teacher Resources” area. It also has more information that might be helpful.

My best advice to you would be to continue being your kind self and encourage her. She sounds like she is really trying hard to learn. I cannot imagine the difficulty of trying to learn Russian which is one of the hardest languages to learn.
Just ask her the simple basic questions.
What do you like to eat, wear, etc. and teach her more conversational English. Once you gain her trust, she will get better and better.
You will probably do quite well since it is a private lesson.

Your first step is to figure out where she stands. This can be done by asking her a series of simple questions such as, “Where do you live?” “What color shirt am I wearing?” and so on. Depending on how she answers, you’ll have to work out a plan. She may be a beginner, intermediate or in-between. After this, choose an appropriate ESL text book.
