We are a small welcoming school with friendly homelike atmosphere. Our average all year number of students is about 750 falling to 300 in July and August. Almost 30% of the students are
young learners.
The most popular levels with
adults are
Elementary and
Pre-Intermediate with 18% and 17% of the overall number of students correspondingly.
Our students range in age from 6 to 50 years old. Some of them stay with us for several years moving from one level to another, with most persistent ones coming to the Advanced level from the “complete zero”.
For the followers of other
languages, who make just 5% of our clients, we offer courses in General
German,
French, and
Italian.
At our school we use course books and resources, published by the world-famous Oxford University Press, Pearson Longman, Cambridge University Press, CLE International, Hueber, and others.
We control the results of our work by regular
tests and offer free extra-curricular
classes for those students, who need some additional practice of particular skills.
We provide our services not only for groups or individuals, but also for
companies, designing new
courses responding to specific needs of their business.
LingvoLand has provided in-company
classes for the following enterprises: Insurance Company ‘Soglasiye’, JSC ‘Air-Liquid-Severstal’; UPM ‘Kymennee Forest Russia’ LTD; ‘Nestle-Russia’ LTD; ‘Soval’ LTD, and others.
The school is a member of ATEEL organization (www.ateel.org) which guarantees high quality standards of
teaching maintained at the school.
LingvoLand has highly qualified professionals on the staff. The head of the Educational Management team is the Director of Studies (Vologda Teacher Training University Diploma, CELTA). Each centre is managed by an Assistant to Director of Studies.
Naturally, all the teachers without exception have fundamental teacher training education having finished different universities in Russia. Besides, as they are employed, they are specially trained to use the teaching method recognized at LingvoLand. The teachers observe their colleagues’
classes and prepare
classes to be observed by DOS or ADOSes. As part of professional development some of the teachers take ‘BKC Refresher Course’ or methodology courses in the UK. Moreover, we are one of the very few schools, which cover all the expenses connected with the staff training. We can responsibly say: “quality is our priority”.
LingvoLand is also occupied with promotion of Language Courses in the UK among those Russians who wish to study
English abroad.
