E-learning can offer possibilities for any age group and erase social, gender, and economic inequalities. The latest data shows that distance learning is highly diverse. Basically, everyone can join the program - there are no certain requirements except age (18+, we also will consider teenagers of 16-17 years old taking into account motivation and willingness to work hard, prepare for the lessons properly and not skip).

The training is created for learners from beginner (A0) to 1st certificate (B1+) levels. We advise higher-level students to study individually to reach your specific goals in the most productive manner.

If you worry about the technical side - our coordinators are always there to help, we send detailed instructions on using the Zoom platform, installation of the keyboard, necessary apps, etc. It might seem complicated only for the first time, that's why we arrange a trial call before we start to check that everyone hears and is heard well, all settings for the cameras and microphones work well and there are no issues that can disturb the process.

The only frustrating thing can be the time difference, which is very easy to puzzle out with the help of any time calculator in Google. We use Moscow time (Petrozavodsk is in the same zone) which is UTC/GMT +3 hours and there is no clock change during the year. If you're confused with the timing, the coordinator will help you find out the schedule depending on your city.

Our teacher Sofia says: "Of course, traveling to a country where the language is spoken remains to be the most effective way to learn a language. Yet very few of us can just pack a suitcase and travel to Russia for a couple of years.As a teacher, I see that nowadays one of the most convenient and productive ways of learning are online classes. What are the advantages of this studying format?⠀

✅COMFORT is essential for the successful acquisition of material and language practice. You'll get it because you'll study right from your place! Also, you can choose any school and any teacher from around the world and find the best tutor for you, isn't it great?⠀

✅It is not a secret that so much of modern communication and learning around the world is happening on the Internet. And, of course, it's very important to be able to navigate websites and social networks in the target language. While studying online at our school, you will watch and record vlogs, read popular bloggers, chat, listen to Russian music, and discuss the latest news - all in Russian! Of course, we dive into practicing the language by gradually improving the level of difficulty depending on the level of language proficiency.⠀

✅You'll no longer lose your notebooks and forget them at home! Throughout the online Russian classes, all the materials are always at hand! You can open any file at any moment and revise what you need. It's unnecessary to carry your textbooks with you or write down your tasks or new words - it's already done in the classroom which you can log in from anywhere, any time: having a cup of coffee in a cafe, waiting for a bus, etc.
