The Tereshka rises in the heights in the southern Volga Ulyanovsk Oblast. First, it flows in an easterly direction in a narrow valley by the intensively farmed landscape. In Radischtschewo it turns off in predominantly southeasterly directions.

Shortly after, she reached the Saratov Oblast, where they pivoted around to the south and southwest, and briefly the course of the border for Ulyanovsk Oblast follows. In its further course the Tereshka flows mostly parallel to the Volga. In this area it has numerous oxbow lakes.
