Educa's team have over 20 years' experience in language teaching. Our school provides high-quality courses of English, German and Russian for foreigners, teaching over 2,500 students a year in our 40 modern classrooms. We use the latest teaching methodologies and materials with focus on conversation. One of our greatest advantages is that we believe that practically anyone can learn a language and we focus on catering to individual student needs, allowing a student to learn quickly.

All the teachers at our school are RFL (Russian as Foreign Language) qualified and have experience in teaching general Russian as well as business Russian.  The teachers aim to make lessons enjoyable and interesting, creating a friendly atmosphere that encourages the students to learn the language as quickly as possible. Educa maintains high standards of teaching through quality control and academic assistance provided by the Head of Studies.

Our students are from all walks of life and as a result our lessons are generally tailored to suit a given student's requirements.  Groups are comprised of students who have the same level of language knowledge and are no larger than 4, the size ensuring an optimal learning environment.  Our cultural programme gives students the opportunity to learn more about Russian life as we believe that a language is a reflection of the culture of that language.  With our immersion lessons a student can test their classroom knowledge of Russian in real-world situations with the assistance of a teacher, which gives them the confidence of knowing that there is someone to help in the event of  a misunderstanding.  Immersion lessons also give a student the chance to learn more about the living city that is St Petersburg.

We provide complete travel service from visa support, to airport pickup and accommodation. Our school's office is conveniently centrally located close to the metro station.

We are accredited by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science as a centre for teaching Russian as foreign language and a member of ALTO, FIYTO and St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce.

Our years of experience, combined with our modern approach to language learning, coupled with our complete travel support service guarantees that studying with us is effective, easy and enjoyable.
