Russian Language Schools in Kiev - Ranking 2022

I absolutely loved Kyiv. Everybody was really friendly and really easy to talk to. I didn't go shopping, so I can't really comment on that. As for public transport: everything is quite easy to reach by metro, but it's quite crowded (even though I was told that it's even worse outside the holiday period). There are loads of Uber drivers in Kyiv 24/7 though, so that's always an option as well (and still relatively cheap)!

Kiev is not a particularly beautiful city, but has improved greatly through the years, and does offer many things to see and do.

Very nice green city. Great transport network. If possible May / June when everything is green.

As a matter of principle, I live in Kiev and this means that my assessment is not neutral.

The part of the school I liked the most was my teacher Olga.
The organization was uncomplicated, clear and fast.

4 November 2018
Course: Standard Group Course - 2 weeks
Student age: 0 years

Simple, friendly atmosphere and good professors.
It's a great discount option for those seeking language study who are already familiar with the region. Not sure I would recommend it to a first time traveller, but worth the money compared to other schools.

Mikhail was very friendly and accommodating. We were advised on time about changes to schedule. The private lessons provided by the other teacher (Tatania) were very helpful and effective.

Student age: 70 years

Kiev is OK. I want to go back in summer, when everything is green and the days are longer. Location of school: OK Organization: bad. No secretariat, teacher in the constant stress, owner looks over from time to time. Equipment: Blackboard with chalk, other media not available or not used. Leisure activities: overpriced offers, or 1 x theater for the equivalent of 1 € in the farthest corner of the theater. Quality: Frontal teaching with a focus on textbook and panic if something took longer. Lesson content is spoken, written on the board, prompted to copy and at the same time! queried as knowledge. How does that work? No handouts! The amount of homework has prevented many recreational activities. Accommodation: A room with a very young couple with another subtenant. Cats. Little contact. For the same price you can rent your own apartment in Kiev.
For the lessons there was only some imaginary order in the English/Russian textbook as a goal. Language of instruction except Russian was English. Basic grammar for explanations was English grammar. Conclusion: not recommended!

Course: General Course - 3 weeks

It is a small school, which allows the teachers to respond to the strengths and weaknesses of the students. The content was very structured. The teacher, Olga, had a lot of patience and enthusiasm!
A sign at the entrance would be good. They are hard to find right away.

The teacher
It needs a real venue - I felt like we were grabbing rooms from someone else - and they were pretty unsavoury.

25 April 2016
Course: Standard Group Course - 1 week
Student age: 69 years

Groups should be a little bigger and each student's level taken into consideration.
