IILanguages

19 languages — and the exams universities ask for

Chinese

HSK 1–6HSKK

English

English

IELTSTOEFL

The language most English-taught degrees run in — in China, the UAE, Malaysia and across Europe — and the first line on the requirements list.

Deutsch

German

TestDaFDSHGoethe-Zertifikat

A German-taught degree in Germany opens only with a certificate, usually at C1: DSH-2, TestDaF or telc C1 Hochschule.

Español

Spanish

DELESIELE

Most Spanish bachelor's degrees are taught in Spanish — there are noticeably fewer English-taught options than people expect.

Italiano

Italian

CILSCELI

Italian universities charge modest fees, but most degrees are taught in Italian and the level is checked before enrolment.

Français

French

DELFDALFTCF

French-taught degrees cost noticeably less than English-taught ones, and since 2026/27 the gap in non-EU fees has become decisive.

한국어

Korean

TOPIK

Much of the Korean bachelor's offer is taught in Korean, and TOPIK is the first line on the requirements — including for a GKS scholarship application.

日本語

Japanese

JLPTEJU

English-taught degrees are a minority in Japan. The mainstream route is EJU in Japanese, and preparation starts a year to eighteen months out.

Türkçe

Turkish

TÖMER

The Turkish year is mandatory even on an English-taught degree — a condition, not a suggestion, and better done prepared.

العربية

Arabic

ALPTACTFL scale

The language of the UAE and the wider Gulf. Even where the degree is taught in English, Arabic decides everything outside the classroom — from a tenancy to a job.

Português

Portuguese

CELPE-BrasCAPLE

One language opens both Portugal, with its European degree, and Brazil, the largest market in Latin America.

বাংলা

Bengali

CEFR levels

The world's seventh language by speakers and a rare one to be taught — finding a tutor is harder than learning it.

ไทย

Thai

CEFR levels

Its own script and tonal system make a self-taught start close to hopeless — with a tutor the first months go several times faster.

Tiếng Việt

Vietnamese

CEFR levels

Vietnam has become Asia's manufacturing hub while Vietnamese stays rare among professionals — that scarcity is itself an advantage.

Nederlands

Dutch

NT2 (Staatsexamen)

The Netherlands is one of the largest English-taught destinations, but staying to work without Dutch is hard: most international graduates who remain in the country name the language as the main obstacle to finding a job.

from $23 per lesson
Polski

Polish

State Certificate in Polish

Full-time Polish-taught study at state universities is free for those admitted on the terms for citizens — with the Card of the Pole, for example. Without the language that option does not exist.

Українська

Ukrainian

CEFR levels

Needed for study, paperwork and work in a Ukrainian-speaking environment — with a tutor, not a phrasebook.

from $23 per lesson
Русский

Russian as a foreign language

TORFL

For international students applying to Russian universities: almost every state-funded programme is taught in Russian, and the preparatory year starts with the language.

from $23 per lesson
How we match a tutor

From your request to the first lesson in four steps

01

Request and introduction

We talk through your goal — an exam, admission, work or a move — and a schedule that suits you.

02

Level test and choosing a tutor

We find your starting level (or zero) and match a tutor — a native speaker or a Russian-speaking teacher — to your goal and pace.

03

First lesson

You meet your tutor and try the format; we adjust the plan if needed.

04

Regular lessons and progress

Check-ins and feedback after every block — you see real progress, not a feeling.

IIIFormats

How the lessons work

One-to-one

Your pace and schedule, targeted work on your gaps — the fastest route to an exam with a fixed date.

Mini-group of up to five

Speaking practice with other learners and a lower price per lesson, with the same attention from the teacher.

Native or Russian-speaking

At the start a Russian-speaking teacher explains grammar and logic faster; at intermediate level a native speaker gives living pronunciation and practice. Many learners combine both.

Price of a one-to-one lesson
  • Widely taught languagesfrom $23
  • Korean, Japanese, Turkish, Arabicfrom $31
  • Rare languagesPrice on request

Where tutors are scarce we quote after a conversation — we will not publish a price nobody checked. Chinese has its own published prices on its page.

We accept USDT

Alongside cards and bank transfer we accept cryptocurrency — USDT. For students in countries where transfers to Russia are difficult, this is often the only way to pay without intermediaries and extra fees.
