| Students liked about ProBa Educational Centre, St. Petersburg | |
| "Maximum availability of the entire staff of the school... The professionalism in teaching hours." - Edoardo (25 years) | |
| "KIND TREATMENT AND QUALITY OF EDUCATION" - Jose Miguel (37 years) | |
| "Small, very friendly staff, excellent learning atmosphere in the heart of St. Petersburg (5 minutes to Nevski Prospect)" - Karl-heinz (36 years) | |
| "My teacher Stanislav is excellent and the other teachers have been praised by fellow students too. Stanislav is proficient in many languages like me so we had very lively and interesting lessons also about grammatical language comparison. He talked to me exclusively in Russian, although I still struggle with my speaking it was a very good exercise. I now have access to an entirely new language. Also cultural and political issues were raised in the conversations. Stanislav has written a teaching tool,with whom I worked too which was outstanding." - Charlotte (77 years) | |
| "The nice students" - Ilona (29 years) | |
