Reviews from our students:

Ishii Naoki (Japan)

Summer School in the Russian language and culture

Because of the pandemic, I couldn’t practice my Russian regularly, so this summer school was my best choice. I’ve never spoken that much in Russian as I did during online classes. The teachers were extremely helpful and thanks to them, I improved my language skills, especially colloquial Russian and Russian grammar.

Roland Knoblauch (Poland)

Summer School in the Russian language and culture

While studying at ITMO’s summer school, I’ve learned way more about Russia and Russian culture than at any other language school. I had the opportunity to communicate with Russian lecturers who are also native speakers. Thus, this experience will certainly be helpful for those who want to comprehend the vibrancy of the Russian language.

Stefanie Reichel (Germany)

Summer School in the Russian language and culture

This course reinspired me to study Russian. I understood how much I can say even if it is not always correct. Especially since the other participants came from different countries, you couldn't simply switch to your native language, so you had to find a way to express yourself in Russian. I also enjoyed the online format and workshops on weekends. It was fantastic how the organizers tried to bring us a bit closer to St. Petersburg and Russian culture.

Sefa Senlik (Turkey)

Summer School in the Russian language and culture

Back in 2019, I was an exchange student at ITMO University. I was struck by both the experience of living in Russia and the memorable time I had in St. Petersburg so I’ve always dreamed of coming back here one day. I’m sure that this experience will help me avoid difficulties while adapting to Russian lifestyle. I'm sincerely grateful to my teacher who made this course entertaining yet very informative and useful!

Zhou Zhi (China)

Camp in Programming

ITMO was right for us, and we had the most powerful team of teachers to organize training. I learned a lot of knowledge and technology, felt the foreign learning atmosphere and the system, enriched my own experience. All of these can help me in the future study and life to get more inspiration.

Steffi Caroline (Indonesia)

Russian Language and Culture

St. Petersburg is a beautiful place with good people. I made new friends and witnessed breathtaking architecture. I was impressed with professionalism of the lecturers. What remained in our hearts was not what we learned, but impression towards Russian literature and deeper understanding of richness of Russian culture.

Frederique Lambert (Belgium)

Russian Language and Culture

It was better than my expectations. The summer school was perfect, the teachers were the best I ever had, and I truly want to come back. The program could not be more effective to me, except if I can stay a year in St Petersburg!

Du Xiaoxue (China)

Camp in Optical System Design

A summer program at ITMO was totally an unforgettable experience. The teachers were always kind and patient. The atmosphere was relaxed and suitable for your abilities’ promotion. What’s more, making friends with classmates from other countries is memorable experience.

Marta-Teodora Boboc (Romania)

Summer School in the Russian Language and Culture

Even though I have a PhD in Philological Sciences and at the moment I teach Russian as Foreign Language at the University of Bucharest, I gladly joined an online-course at Summer School in Russian Language and Culture. I’ve noticed that professors are very loyal and friendly with international students. I enjoyed everything about the School – materials, organization of the course, and atmosphere. I have greatly expanded my vocabulary in Russian and would love to take the winter course, too.

Samuel Innes (the UK)

Summer School in the Russian Language and Culture

I would definitely come for a course to St Petersburg when it’s possible. But now I found an online-school through the Internet and it was really good - I really enjoyed it. It’s cool to meet people who also learn Russian. I have been really impressed by the quality of teaching. The teachers’ enthusiasm has really motivated me to study harder and has made the course very enjoyable and engaging. I hope to be able to take another ITMO Summer/Winter School soon!

Laura Ponzo (France)

Summer School in the Russian Language and Culture

I’m from France and currently, I teach English at school in Vietnam. I jumped at the opportunity to study Russian in Saint Petersburg. It’s amazing how online learning can expand our horizons! I think the Russian language course was really cool and intensive thanks to the qualified professors. It’d be great to join the winter school, and of course, I would love to come to Russia for the summer, too.
