Study program
There are courses of different levels and duration.
Levels: We offer 4 levels of instruction from complete beginners to advanced.
Teachers: Our instructors are university graduates with a solid experience teaching Russian as a Foreign language. Having spent time in other countries they possess a good knowledge of foreign cultures which help them better understand their students.
Homestay program. Pay particular attention to this point. All families are carefully selected, they have been hosting students for many years. The following is included: a separate room, access to all facilities (kitchen, bathroom, TV set, refrigerator, telephone etc.), bedroom clothing. As a rule a family became a good friend for the student. The student has to fill in application form and send it back to the office 1
month before his arrival (where he points his wishes and preferences). If some problems arise during staying we are trying to find another family. As a rule it happens very seldom.
