Program Reviews

I loved my time studying Russian at Educa! The school was so helpful with me obtaining a visa; I felt I was taken care of very well before and during my trip. I had 2 weeks of private lessons with the excellent Natalya who help me improve my Russian immensely. The facilities were conveniently located (near the Hermitage) and clean. Overall, I loved my time in Russia and especially St Petersburg. It’s safe and clean. The transit system is convenient. There are many events one can attend. And every building is eye-poppingly beautiful. 100% want to go back to studying at Educa in SPB

This school was really perfect for me. Teachers and managers were always kind to me. I learned Russian so fast with Educa. We spoke a lot in Russian with my teacher. And now I have a very good level of Russian. I had individual online lessons by using the platform Zoom. In the future I want to come back to Russia and have lessons at Educa also. Now I have Upper Intermediate level and it is wonderful! By the way I want to continue my lessons with my friends because I told them about Educa school. So
Thank you for great knowledge!

I have been studying since May, I have completed one course of intensive Russian program and started the second course.
I like the attitude towards students and the location of the school. Classes are interesting and informative. I am very glad that I trusted the feedback of other students and applied to the Educa school, as I wanted to improve my initial level of Russian. Thanks to my teacher Maria and manager Regina for helping in different questions during my study at school.
I definitely recommend this school !!!!

I really recommend this place, the facilities and teaching methods are wonderful here. I’ve been to different places in Russia before, but Saint Petersburg is the most beautiful city, not only in Russia but in the world. There`s a lot of fun things to do, a lot of things to see. I loved the teachers, they where very good and EDUCA’s location is superb, close to Newsky Prospect and Hermitage – all the tourists are coming to see the beauties around the school. I was there in 2019 and planning to go this year (if borders are open).

I'm going to come for an intensive course of Russian in summer. I can't wait for it and I'm so excited!!!
I'm now working home office as many other people, so I decided to take up an online course with this school. I took a course of 31 lessons as they have a discount for bigger numbers of lessons and it will be enough for about 6-7 weeks of intensive learning for me. I've already had 8 lessons with Natalia and they were amazing. I already understand cyrillic and even can read. Mastering my rrrr sound now. Can you say zdravstsvute?? So much to improve now! The teacher is nice and patient, I feel that she cares about my progress and I won't let her down. Natalia, wait for me in summer! I already imagine our first meeting!

It took some time for me to research and decide on the best school to learn Russian but after seeing the location and contacting other students I’m glad I chose Educa. I had so many questions and Galina was so kind, detailed and quick to respond that I knew I wouldn’t have to worry. I studied Russian many years ago so I am starting from a basic level and from day 1 my teacher Polina went full-immersion mode and only used English when it was necessary. There are great activities planned and I am looking forward to them. With the student id you get discounts and free entries to many places around the city including the breathtaking Hermitage Museum. My experience is positive so far and I will be staying for 1 month.

I spent two weeks at Educa in September and I would highly recommend it to anyone else interested in studying Russian. The school is well organized and supports you through the visa process and can pair you with a host family if you so choose. Its location is amazing, being located just off Nevsky Prospect and so a short walk to most interesting cultural sites. I opted for the intensive group classes option and found them highly beneficial. Class sizes in my experience were small, either 2 or 4 people, which was extremely optimal for language learning. My teacher Olga was fantastic. The best language teacher I have had! As such I am very pleased with the progress made over two weeks. I hope to return to Educa in the future!

It’s only been my first week, but so far I have really enjoyed it. My teacher Nina has been very good at not only giving the basic definitions of words, but also giving the deeper meanings and nuances of words and phrases. Along with having the great opportunity to hear and speak Russian in a controlled environment, it’s a great place to attend classes. I can tell Nina and all of the staff here truly care about the students and want to give them an amazing experience in not only learning the Russian language, but also showing the students this wonderful culture and country. I’m having a great time here and look forward to continuing classes here

I’ve spent three weeks in an intensive class. Before I came here, I could already understand Russian, but I couldn'r speak. Studying in a group motivates to speak more, so my speaking in Russian has improved whithn this short period. The atmosphere in the classroom is very comfortable, so even as someone who is starting to learn the language, you feel comfortable speaking Russian. Now I'm planning to learn more on my own and than I want to come again to study Russian at Educa Russian Language School.

I have been im St Petersburg for one month and studing at Educa. I had an experience that was ment to inmprove my Rusian Language and it definetely did. The teacher is so professiaonal and experienced. She knows how to teach the language in a way so that any student would understand the topic. It is incredible how much my Russian is improving! And teachers and managers are always willing to support students. It is a great experience! I definetely can recommend these courses to anyone who wants to learn Russian!
