Book a consultation
Write us your questions and goals — we arrange a convenient time for an online introduction.
Introduction
We meet on Google Meet at the agreed time, get to know each other, clarify goals and timelines, answer every question, and choose the right program.
Agreement & prep
We sign the agreement, you make the payment, and you get access to all materials and closed chats with every organizational detail. At this stage we also introduce you to your host family online (if you are joining the in-person program) — so you can sense the atmosphere and the warmth of the people you will live with for a month. If something feels off or there is no rapport, the family can be replaced before you arrive in Georgia.
Learning begins
You start studying according to the chosen program. If you come to Georgia, our local partners, guides, teachers, and coordinators support you at every stage — arrival, settling in, excursions, and events. We also help you figure out the documents you need.
Reserve your place
We do not sell open seats online. First a short conversation, then a private proposal and a deposit to hold your spot in the cohort.
- Small cohorts — usually 6–10 students
- A deposit reserves your place in the session
- Private consultation by appointment — reply within one business day
Autumn 2026 and Summer 2027 cohorts are limited · payment plan on request
Common questions
Can I come only for the excursions?
Yes. You can take the one-week top-landmarks tour without the in-person educational block — online study and a host-family stay are optional.
Where do classes take place?
In Batumi, at the Euro-2000 school. The school brand is rooted in Tbilisi; the seasonal immersion runs on the Black Sea coast.
Can I combine programs?
Yes — many students mix formats or build a custom path in the atelier.
How is the summer flagship different from composing my own path?
The summer flagship is the fixed full package (online prep + 4 weeks in Batumi with culture + family + landmarks tour). The atelier lets you assemble the Georgia block week by week — study, family, and tour as you choose.
What is included in 4 weeks in person?
On-site RFL and culture at about 10 hours per week (40 hours over 4 weeks), plus access to the online prep for the summer track (live or recordings). Host family and the landmarks tour can be added.
Where will I stay?
You can choose a Russian-speaking host family from $450 / week (breakfast and dinner) or arrange a hotel/apartment yourself.
Do I need a visa for Georgia?
Citizens of many countries — including the US and UK — can enter Georgia visa-free for short stays. Rules change; we confirm current entry requirements during your consultation and you remain responsible for your travel documents.
Which airports should I use?
Batumi (BUS) is closest to classes and host families. Tbilisi (TBS) works well if you arrive for the landmarks tour or connect onward — we help plan the meet-and-greet once your flight is set.
Is travel insurance required?
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel and medical insurance for the full dates of your stay. Proof may be requested before arrival; details are in the agreement.
How do deposit and cancellation work?
A deposit reserves your place in the cohort after a private proposal. Cancellation and refund terms are written in the agreement — we walk through them on the consultation call before you pay.
Who teaches?
RFL and culture are led by experienced instructors in the Euro-2000 / Smorodina network. Founder Anna Kondratenko (PhD) teaches and coordinates; the exact roster for your session is confirmed in your proposal.
How do I pay?
Payment follows the private proposal — typically bank transfer or another method we confirm for your country. A payment plan can be discussed on request.
Can online lessons fit US evening hours?
Yes for year-round individual lessons and, where the cohort schedule allows, for prep blocks. Tell us your timezone preference on the contact form — we aim for sustainable slots, not midnight marathons.
