We just learned about this amazing center recently. My daughter is 3 years old and im always looking for classes that are fun but also developmentally structured. The classes that they offer at this center are exactly what we were looking for. So far we've only tried art class, cooking class, and music class. All classes are well Organized and tailored toward appropriate age group. Teachers are very welcoming and pay attention to all the kids in class. The center itself is very clean and nicely decorated. They even have painting classes for adults. And the location is unbeatable, walking distance from where we live and tons of shops and restaurants for parents who want to relax while their kids are taking classes. We are really happy we have such an amazing Place right by our house in sherman Oaks. read more

It's been almost a year since we started coming to Vasilisa with my son. Due to the positive atmosphere my son is eager to come to the next lesson. He learned a lot!

I definitely recommend this center to every parent! The teachers are amazing and caring! read more

My two sons (5yo and 7yo) are enjoying Vasilisa tutoring center for over 3 years. We started with Russian language classes. They both were born in US, but, thanks to Tatiana, they not only speak Russian but can read and write in Russian! The energy of the school is so bright and joyful that very fast we added the entire Saturday School, which include Science lessons, Art classes, English and Spanish lessons and Cooking classes for kids. For me, as a parent, it sounds amazing that I can get so many great, useful activities for my kids at only one place. We also tried Winter Day Camp in Vasilisa. My sons enjoyed it so much that we are going to book our spots for the upcoming Spring Day Camp. Highly recommend!! read more

My son comes here once a week for Russian lesson. First I was very skeptical about it so I just gave it a try. My boy is not one of the kids who love school and extra lessons and etc. So I was very surprised to find out that he really enjoyed the class!!!! It's been a few months now since him started the program and I see a lot of improvements in his reading and writing which is awesome!!! And the most important- he still loves the place... Oh, and my two daughters (15 and16) also take Russian class on Sat. Both of them like it and you know how difficult to deal with teens if they don't want to do something:) So yes, it is a great place for education!!! read more

My 5-year old daughter has been taking classes in Russian at Vasilisa for about 6 months now. After spending 3 years in a Russian pre-school and starting Kindergarten at Lanai, I felt we needed help with keeping her Russian as we are a bilingual family and speak mostly English at home. She is now reading and writing in Russian and since we had great success with Russian classes, we recently added art classes that my daughter enjoys very much. We've also attended a winter camp at Vasilisa and had lots of fun. I very much enjoy having a school where my daughter can attend various classes that are being taught in Russian. read more

The only place i would trust to bring my child for Russian lessosns.

Great place to help kids to practice and learn the language. Carrying stuff, flexible schedule, different age groups (from around 2y.o. And up). read more

My son has been attending the school "Vasilisa" for three consecutive years. During this time, he has learned how to fluently read in Russian, acquired the grammar and cursive skills. To our family, it is very important to keep the native language; that's why Russian school every Saturday is a good option for us. Apart from the Saturday courses, the school offers classes during the week, so you always have an option. This year we have added chess. School provides very pleasant environment, and the teachers are professionals. We are very glad that we have this kind of center here, in San Fernando Valley.

For many people who came from other countries is essential to save a language and a culture for their kids. And for me, as a mom it was a very important issue as well. So, I found "Vasilisa Tutoring" for my sons more than a year ago for that reason and I'm very happy with the results! It's a great place to study Russian language and Russian culture! Moreover, my kids are also practice chess in Vasilisa Tutoring, and they liked it so much! I definitely recommend this place for families with kids, who are looking for a high quality knowledges!!! read more

I am so impressed with Vasilisa Tutoring Center! My son, who is 8 years old, learned how to read russian after attending only 2 classes. He also attends a chess class and I can tell he truly enjoys going to the center. Teachers are patient, caring and love kids. Convenient location on Ventura Blvd with big parking lot is a big plus.

All teachers are professionals! My son has been going to this school for three years, since he was 4 years old. He reads Russian books and can write in cursive. I recommend "Vasilisa" center to everyone! read more

My son has gone from barely knowing the letters of the Russian alphabet to being able to read really well in Russian in a few short months! The lessons are fun and stimulating for the kids, but are, at the same time, meticulously planned out and structured to promote maximal learning. Tatiana, the Russian instructor, has a degree in Russian education and applies her wealth of knowledge to great effect. More than just teaching the students the Russian language, Tatiana's weekly homework assignments (which consist of stories, followed by a series of questions about the stories and a list of words or phrases that the students have to define) force the children to think critically about the stories they are reading and facilitate comprehension and a deeper understanding. We are so happy we found this center. Highly recommended. read more

To begin with, my both kids, 9 and 6, know how to read fluently and write in cursive in Russian. You will get your money worth and more. I highly recommend Tatyana's Russian Tutoring Center-Vasilisa--as they provide great and qualitative tuition for your kids if you want them to be proficient in Russian as well as other great classes they facilitate there. read more

Vasilisa tutoring center is a great center which helps me keep the Russian language for my kids. The program is strong, and they have many other classes besides just reading and writing in Russian. I like that they have science and cooking classes in Russian, so the kids can hear and practice their Russian vocabulary in other topics than just a day to day conversation. They also have art, math, Spanish and English classes. read more

Definitely 5 Stars!!! Wonderful school, we are taking chess and Russian language classes. My son made a big progress for the last year. We recommend everybody who is considering to bring their kids here. They will have a great time. read more

This is so much more than the traditional Saturday school... In addition to teaching Russian, they teach Russian Literature, Math, Logic, Spanish Language, Art class, Cooking class. The Principal of the school takes classes very seriously and expect kids (and parents) do their homework during the week. Our son is currently in the second grade but he is using the 3rd-grade Russian textbook. All classes (except Spanish) are done in Russian. Our grown-up daughter went to a different school with the Russian church, which pales in comparison to Vasilisa. Highly recommend!!! read more

We got so lucky to find this tutoring center. We all know how hard it is to keep your mother language in a good form once you move to the USA. At Vasilisa tutoring center our idea of improving our son's grammar and preparing for proficiency test was supported and finally realized thanks to dedicated staff and exceptional human beings. The classes were set up online with no interruption during Covid closure. Thank you for everything you are doing to help families like mine. Highly recommend. read more
