Because Russian is our only focus…• Our teachers can work as a team and share
expertise• We have built up extensive teaching
resources• We have greater flexibility
As Russian is our focus, we have been able to develop many special courses such as modules based on language for business, travel, Russian on the phone, as well as film, history and food.
We offer the widest range of options for Russian courses in the capital…• Group courses for evenings, daytimes and weekends,
all levels from Beginners to Advanced• Individual tuition at home, at your office, or here:
evenings, daytimes and weekends• Special Summer course schedule for one-off modules• Annual examinations held in conjunction with
Moscow State University
Individual tuition is a great choice for those who can’t make a regular commitment to a group course.
We also have teachers in Moscow and St. Petersburg…• We can offer linked tuition for people who
frequently visit these locations, allowing your course to continue smoothly using the same materials and approach, without a break
• We also offer intensive immersion courses• Combine language learning with tourism and
explore these beautiful cities
Our teachers in Moscow and St. Petersburg have all done a stint in our London offices, and are used to teaching English-speaking adults, and are at home with our materials and approach.
Our approach…
• Known as the ‘communicative’ method • Based on language you can use immediately• Emphasis on speaking and listening in the
classroom• We include cultural information and
etiquette
The communicative approach in practice

”The tutorials are always enjoyable and conducted in good humour - and care is taken to put the language into context by providing an insight into Russian culture.”
”My teacher was always really patient and encouraging so as well as being challenging it was really enjoyable too.”
“One of the things I most enjoy about the course is that we can now tailor the lessons to meet our various interests. We have read a wide range of short stories from Pushkin and Chekhov to Okudzhava and Kuprin, but also we regularly have dokladi where one class member prepares a talk and hand-out to form the subject of discussion. The subject matter has ranged from newspaper articles to Russian poetry and famous Russians. ”
“Unlike large language schools, the groups are small and everyone has plenty of time to practice the language with the teacher’s input.”
“One thing I really like about learning at RLC is that the whole experience is about Russian language and culture.”
“The teachers are very professional, knowledgeable and I would recommend the RLC both for its focus on rigorous learning of the grammar (which is essential to make any real progress in Russian) and then at a later stage for its flexibility in allowing students to pursue their own interests. ”
“The teachers are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. ”
