What students liked about ProBa Educational Centre, St. Petersburg
Charlotte
77 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.”

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: They should send photos of the property and be sure to agree on the information regarding the family.
Other comments: Classrooms functional, comfortable, bright, quiet, the operators of the school very pleasant, helpful. Also, the location of the school is very good. It is near Schulraeume. It has plenty of restaurants, shopping just a step away from the underground.. There is a fitness center within walking distance.
Regine
52 years“The enthusiasm of the teachers for their jobs, their professionalism, the variety in the teachings between grammar with new learning units and free conversations/discussions. We always spoke in Russian, only if it was very hard to follow or with new vocabulary we switched to English. Even difficult topics were adressed with humorous text, which were also used as basis for discussion. The atmosphere for learning in the group and with the teacher (Ira) was great.”

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: Participate in the offered leisure activities of the school (in Russian) - that few took place was due to a lack of participants. However, the city also offers so many ways to do something in excursions, churches and museum visits, there is something for every taste. To stay with a host family has a great advantage: you personally learn a lot more about the country and people, and can use what you have learned in class.
Other comments: There was a very good atmosphere at the school, even among students of different groups. An advantage was - what first seemed a bit crowded - that all students got in contact in the hallway during the break. That made the school very familial. The administrators were cheerful, friendly and helpful.
Auli
70 years“My sympathetic, competent teacher Alexandra. She is the best lanuage teacher I ever had. Outstanding!!! I admire her motivation and dedication. She can adapt teaching strategy to the student's need. I was on primary level, got good start of language during my 2 weeks. I will definitely go back and continue studying.”

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: Start on the elementary level (like I did). Learn the Russian alphabet in advance, before the school starts. It is a big help and makes the beginning easier.
Other comments: The school is well organized. Courses starting on each Monday, any level and for any age. Exellent location and on a nice street. Helpful and friendly staff. Also, my homestay wuth a lovely person, Anastasia, was ideal. I can give my best recommendations.
Claudia
36 years“I did language courses before but I've never met teachers who are so committed to the progress of their students, for example nearly daily we were at school longer then the official schedule. great combination of practical grammar, application of it and lots of talking. highly recommendable methods.”

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: enquire at school about the possibility of obtaining a student ticket or card that gives you great discounts to museum, for example free entrance to hermitage which is not to be missed for any reason.
Other comments: organization of social activities can be a bit chaotic and last minute.
Elisabeth
