  Exam Preparation is designed for students who need Russian for official language exams, university requirements, residence-related purposes or other formal goals. Lessons focus on the exam structure, key language skills and regular practice.
  Business Russian is suitable for professionals, entrepreneurs and employees who need Russian for work, meetings, business communication, emails, documents and communication with Russian-speaking partners.

  You can study individually or in a small group. Individual lessons are more flexible and can usually start faster. Group lessons are available when there are students with a similar level, goal and schedule. Most lessons are held in person at our education center in Vladivostok, but online Russian lessons are also available for students from other cities and countries.
