Course testimonials:

  • Cian said: I enjoyed the class thoroughly, the teacher Satik would tailor to the needs of each student in the class. Satik made the class a friendly environment open to mistakes and everything fun about learning. I would highly recommend the class to anyone who's wanting to learn Russian.

  • Dianne said: The friendly atmosphere in the face to face classes. I didn't feel intimidated by my lack of knowledge, and was encouraged by our teacher, Satik, to participate in conversation with fellow students. Conversation was invaluable, and gave me confidence in speaking the language as well as reading and writing.

  • Wilfred said: Satik is a wonderful teacher. In a mixed class she was able to make everyone comfortable with their own pace of learning a difficult language. I have signed up for the next term as well.
