Tutoring Centre for languages , communication and creativity

The Centre was founded by the creative writer, educational psychologist and journalist Dmitry Tyotkin, in 2022, in order to explore and promote contemporary techniques of accelerated learning. A further goal was to address, in detail, various multidisciplinary areas of creativity and language use. Geographically, the Centre is located in the historical district of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It provides, nonetheless, a range of both online and offline events and workshops, as well as lessons and events in different locations and settings.

Our Mission

For groups, the mission of the Centre is to provide contemporary tutoring facilities in a training format, but it also offers individual lessons and coaching sessions. The Centre welcomes collaboration in many forms and it invites numerous guest speakers. Its governing principle is to identify an individual approach for each participant, based on his or her capacities, background, wishes and motivations. We prefer accelerated and communicative approaches in teaching, based on the most advanced, scientifically proven methodologies. The Centre promotes cultural exchange, together with a respectful attitude to all the cultures represented by its students and teachers.

Dmitry Tyotkin is a qualified and experienced philosopher, creative writer and theatre director. He has participated in many international workshops on the themes of creativity and psychology. A former university lecturer in psychology, he has organised, and led, a wide range of international cultural and art-criticism projects.

"I recommend Dmitriy as personal tutor of the English language. In a very short time, he helped me with an intensive course to improve my English to international standards. Now, I successfully work for a big international company. It gave me a chance to relocate and join the international community. Without his course, this opportunity would not be available for me. "

"I have known Dmitriy as a colleague for several years. (I’m a professional English teacher of 25 years’ experience, specialising in professional courses for adults.) Dmitriy is a highly knowledgeable, charismatic and dedicated teacher, and his courses are both instructive and enjoyable. I have no hesitation in recommending his programmes, especially for those who are interested in improving their English for career-related reasons."

"It was all quite exciting, but I want to highlight our story-making process. This gave me some experience of turning my thoughts into well-constructed sentences, and It was funny too. The films "My Fair Lady" and " The King’s Speech" were useful in terms of accents.
Also I want to thank Dmitriy for connecting me with Felicia, who became my first English-speaking pan friend. And of course our studies helped me to prepare for Moscow State university. I do recommend Dmitry’s lessons as a fun and productive way of improving your English."

"I am a successful doctor of both European and Ayurveda (traditional Indian) medicine, but Russian was not a simple language, even after my Sanskrit and English. I definitely do recommend Dmitry as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language. Our intensive course was very useful for me, and now, I use Russian in my work at a highly professional level. It's definitely worth the investment. "
