About Putnik school

Hi, I'm Rosti, the founder of Putnik School!

I started teaching Russian five years ago simply out of my love for languages, and over time, it became my passion. Later, I turned it from just a hobby into my profession. I taught private lessons on various platforms, gaining many students and collecting valuable feedback. Eventually, I decided to create my own school.

At Putnik School, we welcome students from all over the world. We’ve designed a flexible learning system that includes self-study courses, group lessons, and conversational practice to fit different learning styles. Most importantly, our courses are designed for absolute beginners, making Russian accessible from the very first step.
Why "Putnik"? Because learning a language is a journey. We want to guide you through this exciting experience, helping you speak Russian with confidence while immersing yourself in its rich traditions.

Our Teaching Method
At Putnik School, we believe in a structured yet natural approach to language learning. Instead of overwhelming students with complex grammar from the start, we focus on building a strong foundation step by step:

  1. The Basics – We begin with the essentials: the Russian alphabet, sounds, and first words. This helps students feel comfortable with pronunciation and recognition.
  2. Expanding Vocabulary – Gradually, we introduce more words and phrases, teaching students how to structure and build simple sentences. This stage focuses on communication and confidence.
  3. Introducing Grammar – Only once students have a solid vocabulary do we start diving into grammar rules. Russian grammar is complex, but we believe that learning it too early can be discouraging. Instead, we prioritize practical communication, ensuring that even with imperfect grammar, you can still be understood.

Our philosophy is simple: Vocabulary first, grammar later. With enough words at your disposal, you can express yourself, understand others, and gradually refine your accuracy over time.
