Our 8-week Russian language group classes cover Russian grammar fundamentals, writing and reading practice, pronunciation and conversation drills, key vocabulary, taught by experts of Russian as a second language pedagogy. Classes are led by an instructor in real-time online on our online platform, allowing for the same live interaction as in-person classes. Our platform is designed to allow students to engage with each other and the instructor and to practice reading, writing, listening, and speaking the Russian Language.

Private

Our private Russian classes are fully tailored to meet each student's unique needs and learning goals, whether they are absolute beginners, heritage speakers, or advanced learners seeking specialized vocabulary. For heritage speakers, we emphasize grammar fundamentals and writing skills, approaching the language from a heritage speaker’s perspective to bridge any gaps in formal grammar and literacy. For students with specific professional goals, like medical professionals working with Russian-speaking patients, or academics researching a field that required Russian language knowledge, we customize lessons to cover technical vocabulary and practical phrases, enabling them to communicate confidently in relevant contexts. Private lessons are adaptable, allowing students to focus on areas of interest.
