Znaniye is the Russian word for “knowledge”. Our school is dedicated to expanding students’ Russian knowledge in both a linguistic and cultural sense. Znaniye’s curriculum has been specifically designed to achieve this, with teachers findinginnovative and engaging ways to teach grammar and vocabulary both clearly and memorably. The students and parents choose Znaniye for its academic but interactive approach to learning Russian.

The school is Ofsted registered and was the first supplementary school in the UK to receive the Special Distinction Award from the National Resource Center for Supplementary Education. The school is also accredited by the Russian Education Consortium, and we work closely with the leading universities in Moscow and have developed our own textbooks for students which are now used across the world to teach Russian.

Znaniye was founded in 2003, since then it has gone on to welcome over 3000 students from all walks of life, from adults hoping to acquire basic Russian for work to young bilingual children.

All! From baby and me, preschool, primary, GCSE and A-Level all the way to our evening language classes for adults, we cater to everybody.

We are proud to offer tuition in both English and Russian. All of our teachers are highly skilled and hugely passionate about Russian and teaching.

All teachers at Znaniye are native Russian speakers or bilingual (English and Russian speakers), allowing students to develop a natural accent whilst giving them a unique insight into Russian culture.

Each group class is capped at 10 students, meaning each and every student has the opportunity to receive maximum support and attention from the teacher. Znaniye also offers 1-to-1 teaching, allowing each lesson to be completely tailored to the student’s needs and goals.
