The main objective of all our courses is to teach the students to freely and confidently communicate in Russian language, general or specific, spoken or written. Therefore we use the communicative approach as base when developing our courses.
Apart from carefully and accurately designed programs and courses we owe our success to full and precise quality control which ensures our staff to anticipate, meet and exceed the expectations of our students.
We don’t teach listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary independently; they only come in a highly integrated program determined by the communicative situation students are currently learning to act in. On the other hand our programs are entirely focused on particular target language, so you’ll never have to learn something you don’t need.
All of this together with constant interaction of students among themselves and the careful guidance rather than domination of the teacher ensures that even Beginners start actually speaking Russian from the very first lesson.
Still, however fluent Russian one speaks, it’s impossible to truly master the language without the understanding of the country where the language is spoken and its people. As well as learning practical, real life Russian, our students will be able to practise the language while enjoying our lively social programme and life in a vibrant city.

Our team of highly professional tutors and friendly managers will do their best to make your Russian experience really unforgettable!

 Our School offers a wide variety of Courses of Russian Language:

  • General Russian;
  • Russian for Business and Specific Purposes;
  • Full Immersion programs (combining in-class Russian lessons and communicative practice in streets, shops, cafes etc. under teacher’s supervision) and more.

All out tutors have higher education in linguistics and/or tuition and are fluent or proficient in at least two foreign languages, their tutoring experience is not less than 3 years.

In our tuition we use Communicative Approach: the main focus of the studies is communication in real life situations. Our students are encouraged to speak Russian from the very first lesson.

Apart from Russian lessons we offer programs in Russian Music, History, Cinema etc. (on demand) and organize different social events (e.g. the Building Bridges Russian speaking club) which help our students learn more about Russian culture ant the ever mysterious “Russian Soul”.

Why?

Educa Russian Language School is located in the very historical center of Saint-Petersburg, close to main transport links and within walking distance of the Hermitage, Russian Museum, famous Kazan Cathedral and many different theatres and shops. So our center is configured as a perfect choice to learn both the Russian culture and the language in one environment.

Educa School also provides a wide range of free of charge cultural activities like walking tours, speaking clubs, tours to Peterhof\ Kronshtadt\ Pushkin. All the newcomers are provided with a lunch at the Russian restaurant and a bus tour or a boat trip (during summer period).
The most important thing is that we have small groups only, 4 people in average. Our teachers are trying to make the programs according to the students’ needs and demands.
