Dates and Prices in 2010

Getting involved in group lessons not only helps you to further your knowledge of the Russian language, but it introduces you to fellow travelers from around the globe.

Group classes are held all year round.

A maximum of 12 students are permitted in each group, which permits each student to receive an active and fun lesson while getting the personal attention they deserve.

Each week 20, 45-minute classes are held.

The standard daily schedule of classes* is as follows:

• 10:00 – 11:30 Classes One and Two
• 11:30 – 11:45 Intermission
• 11:45 – 13:15 Classes Three and Four

*Class start dates and times are fixed.

On every Monday, students of all levels except Beginner are permitted to join an active group. Students who study in our groups get a head start on results testing, which is conducted at the beginning of every year.

Students who join any group should study for at least one week with that group.

If a student enrolled for group lessons is the only one on the start date, NovaMova has the right to provide two individual lessons instead of four group lessons at the same cost.

Mini-groups allow you to become more engaged in the learning process. These group lessons are conducted year-round. The maximum number of students allowed in these groups is six. This group meets 20 times a week for 45 minutes each lesson. The schedule for these mini-groups is as follows:

• 10:00 – 11:30 Classes One and Two
• 11:30 – 11:45 Intermission
• 11:45 – 13:15 Classes Three and Four

For all levels except A1 (beginners) and C1 (advanced) it is possible to join a mini-group which is already in progress on every Monday. Students in these groups get a head start on results testing, which is conducted at the beginning of each course.

Upon completion of a course, students are tested. Those who successfully complete this test are given a certificate for the course.

Available classes: Beginners (A1) through Advanced (C1).

Minimum class period: One week.

Testing: to be completed at the start of the course

If a student enrolled for mini group lessons is the only one on the start date,

NovaMova reserves the right to substitute four mini-group lessons for 3 individual lessons at the same cost.

Having individual lessons is the most effective way to master the Russian language. You may choose between having 10, 15, 20, or 30 lessons and subjects which pertain to your needs and/or profession.

Each student gets the chance to influence the nature of the topics and themes discussed in class. Through our testing system, weaknesses and strengths are evaluated upon completion of each stage of learning. Assessments are given to help you to achieve success.

Intensive individual lessons are very effective when students do not have the luxury of studying for extended periods. Our teachers are Ukrainians who have spoken Russian natively since early childhood and then mastered a second language- English, French, Spanish, German, and others. When students still new to the Russian language need an explanation, these explanations are given in the student’s native language.

NovaMova gives the students the opportunity to choose a teacher based upon linguistic of other principles, but management reserves the right to make the final decision.

Mixed courses are the perfect balance of individual and group training. In addition to four group lessons, mixed courses allow you to have one or two individual lessons each day. During your individual lessons, you will have an opportunity to work with a private teacher on themes or grammar studies, which would be helpful to you.

Additionally, individual advanced lessons give you the chance to catch up on missed lessons from earlier stages of learning.

Mixed courses can involve group lessons or mini groups. All terms that apply to standard and mini-groups also apply to mixed groups.

The schedule for mixed groups is as follows:

• 10:00 – 11:30 Classes One and Two
• 11:30 – 11:45 Intermission
• 11:45 – 13:15 Classes Three and Four
