Friends, since we work and are located in Russia, due to regional restrictions, we accept payments in our national currency in rubles. Therefore, on the payment page, you will see the cost of a lesson, depending on the euro exchange rate on the day of payment of 40 000 RUB or 65,000 RUB for a set of lessons. The payment process is absolutely the same for everyone, since the conversion from your currency to rubles is made by the issuing bank. Before registering, you can contact your bank's support service to find out the exact exchange rate, or you can simply convert rubles to the currency of your card using MoneyExchangeRate.org or any similar website. We have several payment methods. Immediately after payment, you will receive access to your own account by email.
