I have sent you an email via virtualtourist

I have private teacher of Russian language. Lessons are cheap. About 2-3 EUR / each lesson. There are also Russian languague courses which run Odessa State University but they are not good and expensive.

hi Daniel: am heading out to Odessa to learn Russian (well, improve it anyway) in early April. How did you get on? There are some decent looking courses on the website for about E200 per week..

Hi Daniel:

I plan to do the same during June July period.
Please let me know how you made out...
Would sure like to know how the VT member above
managed to get the private tutoring...I think
that's an excellent and in expensive way to go..

The very best English school I think is Odessa Language Study Centre previously called the Oxford College. I went to their center several times while I was living in Odessa. The school is expensive though. Here is a listing of Russian language schools in Odessa : http://www.2odessa.com/wiki/Business_directory#Russian_studies

Since this is a wiki, you can add some more Russian schools you like, without registering.

I would also suggest going to the English Club in Odessa. http://www.2odessa.com/wiki/English_club Many of the people who go to this club are English teachers and can teach you or know who can teach you Russian.

The English resources section on 2odessa.com is also helpful:
