Frequently Asked Questions

Start with a free lesson — then choose the format that works best for your child

When does a new group start?

You can start learning at any time! Palme School programs are designed as continuous cycles.

Each module includes lessons that repeat in a structured sequence. Once a child has mastered all lessons, the teacher moves them to the next module. You can pause learning and later rejoin the group where you left off.

What do lessons look like?
  • We cover topics that children will use in everyday life and real conversations.
  • We use interactive formats, pictures, and cartoons.
  • Our teaching method develops reading, speaking, and listening skills.
  • We provide homework from engaging textbooks to help reinforce new knowledge.
What experience do your teachers have?

Every teacher at our school has more than 5 years of experience working with children, holds a degree in education, and continues professional development with Palme!

Do you teach adults?

Our group classes are designed for children ages 4–17. At the moment, we offer only individual lessons for adults, but we are planning to develop group programs in the future.

What if we don't like it?

We offer two free lessons so you can try the program and meet your teacher.

If something doesn't work out during the learning process, you can cancel your subscription at any time.

Can I try it for free?

Absolutely! Submit an application on our website. Our manager will help schedule a lesson and a free assessment of your child's Russian level.

Are lessons online?

All classes take place online via Zoom.

Do you offer individual lessons?

Palme School offers both individual and group lessons. Our managers will provide more details.

How much time should a child spend on the subject each week?

In our standard group classes, lessons last 40 minutes and take place twice a week. Core subjects also include interactive homework from engaging textbooks.

How can I see my child's progress?

Every parent has a personal account where they can view the class schedule, reminders, and their child's progress. Our teachers also record short feedback videos for each student.

Do you teach Russian as a foreign language?

Yes! We have groups for both bilingual children and beginners learning Russian from scratch.

We invite you to try our courses — the first two lessons are free when you sign up through the form on this page.
