Classes for native Russian speakers
For children who are already familiar with the Russian language, we offer eight specialized classes to choose from. Our teachers will assist you in selecting the most suitable class based on your child's age and fluency level.
Russian as a Foreign Language (RFL) classes
If your child is new to the Russian language, our RFL classes are the ideal starting point. These classes provide a strong foundation in reading, writing, and speaking at an intermediate level.
One-on-one learning with private tuition
If you're looking for a more customized learning experience, we offer weekly private tuition that targets your child's specific learning goals. You can choose from 30-minute, 60-minute, and 90-minute classes at times that suit your child's schedule.
Advance to our GCSE class
By studying in our children's classes, older students will attain the necessary knowledge and skills to advance to our GCSE class and receive an Edexcel GCSE qualification.

Study the full GCSE specification
Our GCSE classes provide comprehensive exam preparation, covering all the topics in the Russian GCSE curriculum. We also focus on advanced vocabulary and grammar to help you achieve the best possible results.
Enroll in a 1-year or 2-year class
Based on your level of proficiency in Russian, our teachers will suggest one or two years of study. If you're a beginner, you can start with one of our children's classes to establish foundational language skills. After your first free lesson, our teachers will discuss all available options with you.
Personalized learning with private tuition
We advise new students to enroll in our group classes for a collaborative learning experience, but we recognize that this isn't always feasible. If you prefer personalized one-on-one learning or cannot attend scheduled classes, we can arrange weekly private tuition that accommodates your schedule.
Obtain top grades in your exams
We're thrilled to share that 100% of our GCSE students received either Grade 9 or Grade 8, the highest grades possible, during the 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 academic years. Congratulations to all of our students on their incredible achievements!

Flexible study options: 1-year, 2-year classes, or 1-to-1 learning
Depending on your proficiency in Russian, our teachers may recommend either a one- or two-year study plan. While many students opt for our group classes, we also offer private lessons that can be scheduled to your needs.
Strengthen your university application and CV
Taking an additional subject outside of school can significantly increase your chances of getting into top universities. It's an excellent way to demonstrate your extracurricular study! An A-level qualification in a foreign language will make your CV stand out, providing you with a great advantage in your future career.
Excel in your exams and achieve top grades
Our students performed exceptionally well during the 2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023 academic years, with all achieving at least a grade B and 94% receiving an A* or A. These results are sure to impress university admission officers!

Our one-to-one online courses are designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the Russian language. You can expect a personalized learning experience with our tutors who will tailor your lessons according to your specific needs, ensuring that you achieve your language learning goals.
Begin your Russian language journey: Beginner Course
Our Beginner Course is perfect for those who are new to learning Russian and want to gain foundational skills in reading, writing, and speaking. As you progress through the course, you'll be introduced to new grammar and vocabulary that steadily increase in complexity.
Advance your fluency with our Intermediate Course
After completing our Beginner Course or having reached a moderate level of fluency in Russian, you can continue your learning journey with our Intermediate Course. Our goal is to help you reach fluency by providing engaging and challenging lessons.
Acquire a recognised GCSE/A Level Qualification
Successfully completing our Intermediate Course opens up the possibility of starting GCSE private tuition or joining one of our A Level group classes. Keep in mind that the Russian A Level is more difficult than the GCSE and may require two years of study to attain optimal results. However, if getting a Russian language qualification is not a priority for you, you can continue with our adult courses.
