Positive aspects of school
"Very competent and friendly support, a great teacher. We were only three students, which made learning easier. After the lessons, I also had a guided tour across St. Petersburg with stories about corners, places and personalities.
On the last day there was a farewell with champagne and snacks. All in all, it was great fun. Many thanks to the team!"

"I think that everyone should start at the same chronological level. I started at the 10. Chapter of the textbook, while the others were already ahead by 4-5 weeks, starting from the beginning of the book."

"Excellent school! I will be back, but I'll take a lot of private lessons in order to recover, classes of 10 students are in my opinion excessive for good learning. You waste lots of time!"

"The combination of lessons in a group and individual lessons sure is more useful (I did 20 per week in a group and 10 more per week with a teacher). If I imagine the load of 30 hours with only me being the center of attention...well.. this would have been much harder. However, if one needs the quickest possible progress then the individual lessons sure are best (as the speed will be adjusted)"
