We combine human-centered teaching with thoughtfully designed courses and smart learning technologies to make Russian easy to start and exciting to keep learning.

We believe that language learning should be warm, inspiring, and practical — not overwhelming. That’s why we focus on clarity, culture, and connection at every step.

We envision a world where learning Russian opens doors to real relationships, rich traditions, and deeper understanding — one learner at a time.

Our Approach

At Putnik School, we believe that communication is the heart of language learning.

From the very first lessons, our students start speaking in Russian, focusing on real conversations rather than just grammar drills. We create a safe and encouraging space where you’re free to make mistakes — because that’s how true progress happens.

Even with imperfect grammar, if you have the words — you can be heard and understood. — this is our guiding philosophy.

By gradually expanding your vocabulary through dialogue and immersion, you'll build confidence, break down language barriers, and discover the joy of expressing yourself in Russian.
