Language Link, Russia

Language Link first opened its doors to students in Russia in July 1994, and since then, the outstanding quality of teaching and customer care at our schools has enabled us to expand operations right across the country. Today, Language Link teaching centres operate in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Samara, Toliatti, Ekaterinburg, Ufa, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Zelenograd and over thirty sub-centres located within the peripheries of these cities. While many of our schools specialize entirely in teaching English as a foreign language, Language Link's centres in Moscow, St Petersburg, Volgograd and Samara have simultaneously developed an outstanding reputation as providers of instruction in Russian as a foreign language. Whatever the language, 'teaching Excellence' is our motto and our goal, underpinning every academic endeavour we undertake.
