Dennis

Dennis Verhagen from the Netherlands.

I am Dennis Verhagen, I am Dutch and I started Russian lessons at Terra Education 3 times a week in September 2020. What was really important to me in the beginning was that I would enjoy learning this new language. And that's exactly what I got from my teacher Aina. She also adapted my lessons from the beginning to what I needed in everyday life, which was very helpful.

Sana Altaf from London England.

My experience with Terra has been nothing less than truly pleasurable in all aspects. Whether it be the hospitality or kindness that both the teachers and the staff possess, or the level of professionalism all members of Terra showcase is truly admirable.

I had moved to Astana, Kazakhstan as a diplomatic dependent and had been studying Russian Language at TERRA EDUCATION since October 2021 with Elena who is one of the many well accredited professional teachers Terra has to offer. Personally, my previous experience with the Russian language made me believe that learning Russian would only remain a wish for me and made me very shy . However, since I started studying at Terra the more lessons I took the more and more confident I became in my ability to communicate, read and write in Russian. The fear I had of making mistakes in Russian was not only welcomed but also overcome with lots of practice. I'm nowhere near fluent in Russian however Elena strategically taught me the most important parts of both Russian grammar and basics so I can talk to all the locals and feel comfortable with this once impossible language. Its my belief that with prolonged lessons at Terra I could continue improving my Russian to one day reach a level of fluency that I can be proud of. Terra has a special place in my heart. It was not only the place where I started my journey to learning Russian language but also where I learned how sweet and comforting the Kazakh people, especially the teachers, can be.Terras teachers understand your struggles and help you surpass them whether you're really busy or you have some time on your hand i highly recommend you take lessons with one of the teachers at Terra it's truly an unforgettable experience that everyone should indulge in.

Muhammed Tufail Asad from London England.

I recommend studying at Terra to anyone looking to learn the Russian language.

I'm a diplomatic dependant for Pakistan Embassy Astana, I moved to Kazakhstan Astana in September 2021 and started my Russian language journey for the first time in October 2021 with my older sister Sana. We both took regular lessons with Elena for the Russian language and both had a great experience. Studying at Terra was not only comfortable but very beneficial for me. I used to shut down or shy away when someone spoke Russian to me or I would rely on my sister for assistance but neither her nor I had a good enough level to understand anything that the people were saying but over time with regular lessons with Terra we both increased our knowledge in the Russian language. I find the level of professionalism and respect the members of Terra treat you with is truly remarkable; it's one of the reasons I felt so comfortable here. I continued my studies at Terra for almost 3 years and saw good improvement.

Kristina

Kristiina Saarna from Estonia.

I took Russian classes with Terra Education during my assignment at the EU Delegation in Astana 2012-14. The level of professionalism was high, from the administrative aspects to the teaching. Besides regular private classes the school also organized Russian Clubs where the students could meet and socialize with each other and the teachers, fun combined with learning. I have excellent memories from that time and my Russian skills improved considerably. Highly recommended.

My exceptionally qualified teacher has exceeded my high expectations. Through great pedagogical skill and an exceptional commitment, combined with responsiveness to my specific needs and wishes, my teacher has made the lessons and the entire study process maximally effective and joyful. It is with the greatest pleasure and conviction that I warmly recommend Terra Education.

Gerhard

Gerhard Sailler from Austria.

I have been learning Russian and Kazakh for years several times a week with Terra Education language school in Astana, Kazakhstan. My level improved significantly, and I managed to get my Russian from A2 to B2 level and Kazakh from zero to A2. The teachers are all very professional, motivated native speakers with teaching experience. Classes are very well structured and it is never boring! After the end of my diplomatic term in Astana, I continue now getting classes via skype and I am looking forward to further improvement.
