I believe that people learn better, if they have fun and enjoy the experience of using language in their daily life. Our lessons are interactive and sociable. We learn how to use Russian in real-life situations, watch videos, listen to songs and conversations, read and discuss current news. Step by step I move you closer to achieving your individual goals.

I always do our best to make Russian lessons interesting and effective. You will enjoy lessons that use modern, communication-centered activities and materials. At the same time I expect you to play an active part in your learning. Each week you will be given homework to review and practice what has been covered in class.
