“The intensive course proved to be the ideal one-to-one tuition. A friendly and positive atmosphere. A professional teacher with an excellent knowledge of Russian literature and culture. The teacher was patient and adapted well to my progress.
The school provided excellent support with practical matters relating to my stay and arranged a lovely flat for me.
Kaliningrad is a lovely place with picturesque spots, a beach not far away, cultural attractions and restaurants.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: Very intensive, inspiring, friendly.
Other comments: My teacher could speak English and Spanish. It may be different with other teachers at the school. I had deliberately looked for a non-German environment so I wouldn’t end up in a class where everyone was speaking German nonstop.
