the child, if

Theoretical focus

Confused about concepts and terms

He knows the topics in general terms, but gets confused with sociolinguistic terms, definitions, and examples—and loses points on the tasks of the first part.

The second part

Doesn't know how to write detailed answers

The plan, the text-based assignments, and the mini-essays seem unclear—there is no clear structure for the answer and no understanding of the evaluation criteria.

System

She is preparing sporadically and is nervous before the exam

He chooses options without a plan, doesn’t see his weak spots, and isn’t sure he’ll be able to repeat everything before the exam.

Program Structure

6 weeks
Man and Society

Society as a system, human nature, cognition, culture, and spiritual life. We understand key concepts and examples, learn to distinguish close terms, and not lose points in tasks that require knowledge of theory.

6 weeks
Economy

The market and supply and demand, factors of production, money and inflation, the role of the state, taxes and the budget. We work on tasks with graphs and calculations and typical pitfalls of the economic block.

6 weeks
Social relations and politics

Social structure and mobility, family and social norms, political system, state, elections and parties. We learn to apply theory to specific situations.

7 weeks
Right

Fundamentals of constitutional, civil, labor, family, and administrative law. We examine the structure of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, rights and obligations, and the most common tasks of the legal block.

7 weeks
The second part and the practice exams

We are practicing the extended answers: text work, assignment-task, plan for the topic and a mini-essay according to the FIPI criteria. The teacher checks and comments on each work, while we simultaneously write full versions for the time being.

8 weeks
Man and Society

Without rushing through the basic concepts, we cover society and its spheres, the human being, cognition, and culture. We fill in the gaps in our knowledge and build a system of concepts on which the entire course is based.

8 weeks
Economy

Fundamentals of economics: the market, demand and supply, money, the role of the state. We break down the terms using examples and learn to read charts and tables.

6 weeks
Social relations

Social structure, groups and statuses, social norms and conflicts, the family. We form the conceptual framework of the social block.

8 weeks
Politics and Law

Political system and the state, the foundations of law and the Constitution of the Russian Federation. We learn to apply theory to specific situations and examples.

6 weeks
The first deployed responses

We get acquainted with the structure of the second part: working with the text, a plan, and a mini-essay. We write the first works and receive detailed feedback. In 11th grade, the student moves on to the year-long course with a ready-made foundation.

1 week
Entrance probe

The student chooses the full version in the EGE format. Based on the results, we compile a list of topics and tasks that will yield the most points for the remaining time.

3 weeks
The theory of blocks

Quick repetition of the key topics of «Man and Society», «Social Relations» and «Politics»: concepts, examples and typical tasks of the first part.

2 weeks
Law and Economics

We cover the most «expensive» and frequently discussed topics: the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the legal field, economic tasks with schedules and calculations.

3 weeks
The second part and the composition

A clear outline of the extended responses: text-based work, assignment-based work, plan, and mini-essay based on the relevant criteria of the FIPI. Regular checking of the work by the teacher.

2 weeks
Final prototypes

Full explanations of the time limits, an analysis of each error, and exam tactics: the order in which to complete the tasks and how to allocate time between the sections.

How is the program organized?

  • The groups are organized by class and level of preparation: from those who need to fill in their gaps in school to those aiming for a high score.
  • The modules go in a circle. After a while, the teacher returns to the material covered earlier, so the material is consolidated, and the student who arrived later covers the topics that were missed in the next cycle.
  • The content of the modules is verified against the relevant documents of the FIP: the demo version, the codification, and the specifications. If the exam format changes, we update the program.

Why It Works

  • You can start the preparation at any time, without waiting for the start of a new stream.
  • The individual plan: the trials show which topics give the student the most points, and we focus on those.
  • At your own pace: if the topic takes longer, the student will cover it in the next cycle. If everything is clear — move on.
  • Missing classes due to illness or travel does not knock you out of training: the missed topics can easily be made up in the next cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start with a free diagnosis — then choose a training period that fits your exam schedule.

Which class is best for starting preparation for the EGE?

It’s best to start in the 10th grade: in two years you can make up for lost time and work through all the exam topics without rushing. In the 11th grade, a one-year course is a good choice. If there are a few months left until the exam, choose an intensive course—it focuses on the topics that will give you the most points.

How do you determine the level of training?

Before starting classes, the student takes a free diagnostic assessment with a methodologist: they complete tasks in the format of the EGE exam. Based on the results, we identify strong and weak areas, select a group, and create a training plan.

How long is one class and how often are lessons held?

Classes take place online twice a week for 40 minutes in a mini-group. Between classes, the student completes homework and practices for exam-style tasks.

Is it possible to start preparation not from the beginning of the school year?

Yes. The modules of the program repeat in a cycle, so you can join at any time; the missed topics will be covered in the next cycle.

Are you checking the completed answers and the mini-essay?

Yes. The instructor reviews each part of the second assignment—the extended answers, the plan, and the mini-essay—using the FIPI’s current criteria, and provides comments: what worked, where the points were lost, and how to fix it.

How to know that the preparations are going according to plan?

Every 3 weeks, the student takes a mock exam in the format of the EGE. After each mock exam, parents receive a report: which tasks were completed, where points were lost, and what needs to be reviewed.

What should I do if a student misses a class?

The lesson can be rescheduled or completed; the paid lessons are not «lost». The student will also be able to complete the missed topic in the next cycle of the program.

Are there any free classes?

Yes, the first 2 sessions are free. The student will get acquainted with the teacher and the lesson format, and you will decide if the course is right for you.

What is included in the tuition?

Lessons in a mini-group twice a week, homework and second-part assignments, mock exams with reports, educational materials on the platform, support from a mentor, and the option to freeze the course if necessary.

What are the technical requirements for online classes?

You need a device with internet access (a computer or tablet) and Zoom installed. All educational materials are provided in digital form.
