Palme School

Negative experience: For a year and a half, my child attended the speaking club with the teacher Natalia Koneva. Recently, there were a few lessons where audio echo occurred. Instead of suggesting that he rejoin the session, the teacher muted his microphone. Later, she decided to discontinue lessons with my child. I believe the situation could have been discussed with me and handled in a more professional manner.

Fantastic experience: My kids 6 and 4 started taking lessons and we are happy. Teachers are engaging and my hope is that it helps them maintain the language.

Fantastic experience: We’ve been with Palme Online School for two months now, and I’m really pleased with the progress my son is making. He’s 10, enjoys his teacher and the lessons, and – most importantly – feels motivated to speak Russian again. He spoke Russian when he was very young, but after the pandemic he had a long break from lessons, so it felt almost like starting from scratch. That said, we were hoping his early memory would kick in – and it already is! The Palme bilingual approach works very well for him. We’ve chosen 1-to-1 lessons for now, and he is rebuilding his reading skills while learning useful conversational topics that make the language practical and relevant to everyday life. He also attends a weekly Conversation Club with children at a similar level, as well as Vocabulary practice sessions available in the evenings. It’s also very good value. I think Palme School offers an excellent method for bilingual children – highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Моя дочь занимается математикой в Palm school уже пол года. Наш учитель Нина Д. Очень большой профессионал. С каждым уроком, я чувствую как мой ребенок больше и больше понимает, ей легче учиться в школе, она не боится математики, и ей нравятся уроки! Вроде бы по чуть-чуть, но регулярность очень сильно тренирует понимание, память, и внимание. Прогресс на лицо! Отличная методика работы с детьми и отличная программа. Из всех кружков, этот думаю наш самый любимый.

Fantastic experience: We are very happy with the Russian program and teachers at Palme. It helped my child rediscover interest in Russian reading and is a good weekly practice for her. Teachers are kind and patient, classes are small and it’s a nice balance of instruction and light homework to keep her engaged.
