I can only say the best about ProBa. i went there for 2 sessions of à few weeks. VERY good teachers. the atmosphere of the school is very friendly too. like most studients there, i made friends, so i didnt feel alone at the beginning of my staying, and by sharing their expérience in the country they made all my red tape easier.

I think I improved my Russian, in particular communication skills, and I am very satisfied. Russian Speaking Club on Tuesday is Amazing!!!! This is great idea to give us possibilities for speaking and invite friends for dialogues.
My Russian teacher Julia is great, I really liked her teaching methods, and in particular I liked that she let us talk a lot because we really need it. She explains very clearly. With my second teacher Maria we did a lot of grammatic and we also read a lot, that was really good.

I highly recommend this school! If you love the wonderful Russian language and St. Petersburg, or if you want to get in touch with both, this is the right place for you! In addition to the lessons, there are also activities such as speaking clubs or creative activities (e.g. painting a Russian Matrioshka). The atmosphere in the school is very open and everyone is very motivated. You also get the best help and support at all times with questions of all kinds, e.g. when it comes to formalities, finding a room, everyday or leisure activities. The location is a big plus: the school is located in the beautiful Rubinsteina Street in the heart of St. Petersburg. It is easily accessible by all means of transportation. So you can fully immerse yourself in the Russian language and culture!
