Our Russian School in Kiev

The name “NovaMova” comes from Ukrainian. The two words mean literally “New Language”.

Founded in 2001, by friends and dedicated linguists Gela Turabelidze and Andriy Kononenko, the NovaMova International Language School has grown to become the top Russian language training institute in Kiev.

With an extensive line-up of Russian language programs for any level, NovaMova also boasts the creative social programs we developed for our students.

With strong ties and partnerships with leading international universities, academies, and institutions around the world, NovaMova is deeply connected to the leading linguistic professionals globally.

Social Activities

We have achieved this considerable success with our Russian language students because of our personalized approach to language study.

Our students come to us for the real-life experience.
We have a number of after-lesson programs designed to help each student make friends, integrate into the local community and gain invaluable experience using their newfound Russian skills in real-world environments.

These experiences build self-confidence and help to explore the Russian language and culture further and deeper.

We are the only Russian language school to offer field-trips to historical Ukrainian and Soviet sites, live-in host family accommodations, and after-school social activities. Coming to and living in Kiev could never be easier or more attractive

Russian Language Methodology

To satisfy the large number of Russian language learners who come to Kiev for an educative holiday, we have created a highly-developed linguistics program for non-native learners of Russian.

Specially developed Russian language video and audio materials, role-play skits, as well as fun and interesting classroom discussions make for a satisfying learning experience.

We will help you to:

Become familiar with many Russian cultural communication habits;
Use natural, common Russian phrases which will set you apart from the “textbook learners”;
Effectively use your Russian language skills to express yourself clearly and correctly;
Place yourself in comfortable social situations which will allow you to interact successfully with native speakers of the Russian language.

Our Location

Just down the street of our school, stand the remains of an ancient gate to the city (Golden Gate) as well as the historical Sofia Cathedral.

Our school is located in the historical and cultural centre of Kiev, not far from many famous sites and buildings.

Our street, Yaroslavov Val, lies alongside much 11^th century architecture (from the times of Kievskaya Rus) as well as the now modern embassies of many major world countries such as Norway, Italy, Poland, Germany and Canada.

Our offices and classrooms reside on the second and third floors, just past the UniCredit Bank Central office.
