"Tsarskoye Selo" Educational Centre
Menu
A Russian language school welcoming children and young people from west London, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire
We strive for excellence and inclusivity and aim to give children an appreciation for Russian language education, culture and traditions. We have a vibrant community with formal UK examinations support, curriculum learning on a par with the Russian national language curriculum and many extra-curricular activities!
Our Aims
The main goal of our Educational Centre is to give children the knowledge that they have every right to acquire. The Russian language has the potential to greatly help in future careers and to open doors. It will give you the advantage of belonging to at least two cultures, and for the more pragmatic, it will simply help to pass the GCSE examination. This is an investment in the child’s future, on a par with private school tuition and tutoring for 11+ years. In the Russian Educational Centre “Tsarskoe Selo”, you will find:
- Professional tutoring of children in Russian language and literature
- Development of knowledge about Russian culture and history, Russian classics of literature, painting, music
- Awakening and maintaining interest in each child in learning Russian

Private Tuition
Private lessons are one of the most effective ways to learn a language if you need to work on specific aspects. One-to-one training allows you to effectively address the needs and requests of an individual student.
All of the teacher’s attention in the lessons will be focused only on your child. The teacher will be able to monitor progress in learning Russian and pay attention to weak points.
An individual training program is tailored to your goals and objectives, and is based on the child’s current level of Russian language.
We are able to arrange individual lessons both at the school base and at your home. For older children, we can offer online classes. Please contact us for more details.
