Program Structure

The course is divided into thematic modules that repeat throughout the cycle. A student can join the group at any time, complete the missing topics in the next cycle, and study at their own pace.

[N] weeks
Orthography

Spelling of roots, suffixes, prefixes, and endings, N and NN, NE and NI, in a hyphenated, hyphenated, and hyphenated form. For each rule — a clear verification algorithm and exercises in exam-style format.

[N] weeks
Punctuation

Interjections in simple and complex sentences: homogeneous members, isolated phrases, introductory words and addresses, compound, subordinate and non-conjugated sentences. We learn to quickly break down the structure of a sentence and not lose points on complex constructions.

[N] weeks
Language norms

Stress patterns, paronyms, lexical combinations, word forms, and sentence structure. We examine typical errors that are found both in exam questions and in one’s own speech.

[N] weeks
Text and means of expression

We learn to understand the main idea of the text, find connections between sentences, distinguish between different types of speech, and learn about the means of expression. This module is a bridge to writing.

[N] weeks
Composition and trial exams

We write essays based on the current criteria of the FIPI: formulate a problem, provide a commentary and our own position. Each work is checked and commented on by the teacher. In parallel, we solve full-length versions on time and practice exam tactics.

[N] weeks
Foundation

We repeat what all the rules are based on: the composition of words, parts of speech, and clauses of sentences. We fill in the gaps in our knowledge so that we don’t have to memorize the rules word for word anymore, but rather understand them.

[N] weeks
Orthography

We systematically follow the spelling rules without haste: roots, prefixes, suffixes of different parts of speech, N and NN, NOT with different parts of speech. Lots of practice on short tasks and dictations.

[N] weeks
Syntax and punctuation

We learn to see the grammatical structure, distinguish the types of sentences, and place punctuation marks consciously, relying on the structure of the sentence.

[N] weeks
Rules and working with text

We become familiar with linguistic norms and learn to read the text carefully: identify the topic and main idea, find means of expression, and notice the author's logic.

[N] weeks
The first works

We understand how the essay is structured and the criteria by which it is evaluated. We write the first papers and receive detailed feedback. In 11th grade, the student transfers 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 that will earn the most points for the remaining time.

[N] weeks
Orthography

Quick repetition of the rules with an emphasis on topics where the student makes the most mistakes. Short algorithms and daily practice.

[N] weeks
Punctuation

We practice the most common punctuation situations and learn to confidently handle complex sentences.

[N] weeks
Composition based on the criteria

A clear outline for writing essays based on the FIPI's current criteria, a breakdown of typical errors, and regular checking of the work by the teacher.

[N] weeks
Final prototypes

Full instructions for the time, an analysis of each error, and exam tactics: in what order to complete the tasks and how to allocate time.

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 [N] minutes in a mini-group. Between lessons, 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.

Do you check the essays?

Yes. The teacher reviews each essay according to 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 [N] weeks, the student takes a mock exam in the format of the EGE. After each mock exam, the parents receive a report: which tasks are completed, where the points are 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 essay checks, mock exams with reports, educational materials on the platform, support from a mentor, and the ability 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.
