"Grteat experience with the school, the beautiful city of St Petersburg, and with our host family"

Alice Ann Whealey, student from USA

The teacher was great, knew her subject, was always on time, good with responsiveness and communication. The class length and frequency was just right: about an hour, 4 days a week. The school location was excellent: very convenient to the center of St. Petersburg. I very much appreciated the school making student passes for us since it allowed us to go into some museums at a discounted rate. We had a wonderful experience with our host family: they explained the transit system, recommended some of the sights, and made some typical Russian food for us. Staying with a host family added a special dimension to our experience that I do not think would have been available through student housing or a hotel.

"Boosting my Russian Skills to the next level"

Eileen Jahn, student from Germany

Upon arrival at EDUCA Russian Language School I noticed that the location is central, modern and vibrant. There were several students from other parts of the world, all engaging intensely on improving their Russian skills. I liked the additional program the Language School offered, the wifi was shaky from time to time (but during class there is no time to be on your phone anyway) and the teachers were great and approachable.

I had three different teachers during my stay (4 weeks) and even though all of them had a different focus of what they prioritized when teaching Russian (vocabulary, speaking, grammar), I did learn so much and was pushed to really work on my skills that I feel a lot more confident in the language.
