One-to-one General/Business

Russian Course in Leeds

If you want to be taught Russian for academic reasons, business needs or gain a working knowledge of the language for general purposes, our tailormade lessons are guaranteed to be the ideal solution.

General Russian courses will cover Survival Russian, allowing you to be comfortable during short visits to the country; polite conversation, practicable vocabulary and a strong grammatical foundation. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in Russian business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.


Our Russian courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on Russian telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. In the same way, those taking a General course who may need more knowledge of a certain aspect of Russian need only request it from their teacher.


We arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. Our General courses cater for people aiming to purchase overseas property, globetrotters, Russian language and culture devotees, as well as people who need to pass a particular Russian exam.

Info about Leeds


The fourth most populated city in England and one of the country's core cities, the metropolitan district of Leeds has just over three quarters of a million residents. The city was recently voted the best city to visit in the UK outside of London, and its two universities attract thousands of overseas students every year.

With this constant influx of people from all around the world, Leeds is a remarkably good spot to start learning a new language. With a large south Asian population and a notable Chinese contingent, there are plenty of opportunities around the city for daily practice, and with your native speaker tutor, you'll be making huge leaps in a fraction of the time it would take with a regular course.

Info about Russian


As the most popular Slavic language with around 275 million speakers worldwide, Russian is the official language of Russia, and is spoken widely in countries that used to form republics of the now-dissolved USSR; for example Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

Russian is an extremely challenging language to learn for those with no experience of Slavic languages. First of all there's the hurdle of the Cyrillic alphabet, of which the Russians use their own 33-letter variant. Then there's the pronunciation - almost a world apart from any English dialect. Russian is classified as a 'level III' language (the second hardest level) in terms of difficulty for native English speakers, according to the Defence Language Institute of California; but the doors that learning Russian opens to you cannot be underestimated.
