Frequently Asked Questions

Who are your teachers?

All teachers at our school are experienced professionals with specialized education and many years of experience teaching Russian to bilingual children and teenagers. All instructors must undergo a rigorous selection process which includes an interview as well as several trial lessons which they must conduct personally with the director of the school. It’s worth mentioning that the director of Russificate Kids is herself an experienced instructor of Russian as a foreign language, as well as several other languages, and has a great deal of experience with children and teenagers. Here you can see our instructor’s resumes. We will be happy to provide original documents demonstrating the level of education and experience of our teaching staff!

How can you guarantee that I will receive the lessons I pay for?

The Russificate school has been operating since 2012 and is one of the leading online schools for Russian as a foreign language. Fortunately, we’ve never had any such complaints. The payment scheme is very simple: you transfer money directly to the school and we then pay the teachers ourselves. Besides, if you prefer, payment may take place separately after each lesson, which guarantees accuracy in accounting and the security of your payment. At your request, we can also provide documentation showing the transfer of money into our account.

Can you guarantee that my lessons will be with the teacher that I choose? Will I be able to personally contact the teacher?

First, you sign up for the course that you have chosen. Then we send you all the essential information about lessons, and also the contact information for the teacher, whom you may then contact directly. After the lesson, you again contact us in order to make payment. Communication with your teacher never takes place through a manager at the school. Instead, you can contact the teacher directly regarding organization of lessons, schedule, study materials and other concerns.

What study materials are used in lessons?

Our lessons are taught using the latest editions of leading Russian and foreign materials for bilingual children as well as additional materials by specialists studying bilingualism in children, including authors such as Ekaterina Kudryavtseva, Kumatrenko, Elizaveta Khamraeva, and Nina Vlasova among others. In addition, our instructors create their own materials and make use of various online resources for lessons.

What other technologies do you use in your lessons?

The virtual blackboard is one of our main tools for online lessons. During the lesson, you and your teacher create an electronic document containing the material covered in that lesson, which can later be viewed at any time. We also use special services for creating images, mind maps, word clouds and other infographics, as well as recording audio and video.

Who is the head of the school?

The director of the school and main coordinator of its work is Yulia Amlinskaya. Yulia has extensive experience teaching Russian as a foreign language and other languages through Skype and is also the founder of online schools for RFL and other foreign languages Russificate and Language Life.

How is the pricing system structured?

Russificate Kids uses a flexible and logical pricing system. The cost of each lesson depends on the amount of lessons paid for and on which program is chosen. Courses are divided into two groups: standard and specialized. We offer discounts to regular clients. The first lesson (30 minutes) is considered a trial lesson and is free of charge (not including sessions used for assessment testing or individual consultation with parents). If you wish, payment may take place after each lesson.
