* What is a FREE Workshop? It’s an additional two our sessions that are NOT lessons. Although the teacher is present in the Zoom room, students are encouraged to work together as a group. They can complete their homework or do additional tasks provided by the tutor.
Such workshops are optional, but advisory as they’re a great opportunity to work in a relaxed, friendly environment, as well as adding up to 2 to 3 hours of additional practice a week!
You will be expected to do homework in order to progress quickly. We recommend 1 to 3 hours a week on top of the lessons. You can also attend our other courses or book additional one-to-one lessons. All depends on your initial readiness and language aptitude. The program we use in our centre is usually covered in 2 years at schools with 3 to 4 hours/week.
We also offer teacher-examiner services in our Centre. The teacher-examiner can travel to your school for the Oral part of the exam during the exam window. Please, speak to us about it by emailing or calling us.
If you’re over 18 and would like to sit your A level Russian as a private candidate, please, speak to us, we can help you.
