Student testimonials

I anticipated my comments to Lyudmila and Ksenia and I’m willing to share them with you; I am satisfied by my experience with Educacentre and my time in St. Petersburg. I think your school is serious and capable to tailor the courses according to your students’ needs. For instance, I had requested an intensive course and I got it. It is impossible to learn any language in two weeks (I knew in advance), but it is possible to have an overview, learn the bases and then to build up. The teachers I met are competent and know how to involve and stimulate understanding and learning: I was just hoping my memory could help me better! Anyway Lyudmila and Svetlana gave me some material that I downloaded on my phone/laptop, so that I can go on by myself in order not to lose what I got. In short, your school is highly recommendable!
