Speech therapy, school readiness, Russian, Estonian and English language classes, thinking skills and digital programs for children aged 2–14.
Bilingual Speech and Learning Studio is a centre in Tallinn supporting the development of speech, language, thinking and learning skills. We give special attention to Russian-speaking and bilingual children growing up with both Russian and Estonian.
Classes run individually and in small groups, so a specialist can notice each child's needs. We combine traditional teaching methods with modern digital tools — from speech therapy exercises to the basics of programming.
Before classes begin, we clarify the child's age, the family's language environment and the parents' main goal, so we can offer a suitable program. After that, parents receive clear, regular feedback on their child's progress.
Choose a specialist and format — or send a request and we'll help you decide.
Not guessing whether they'll “grow out of it” — understanding what's really happening with your child's speech
We assess speech comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, connected speech, articulation and phonemic hearing — to understand the cause, not just spot a problem.
Under 5 — 90 min · €50
Ages 6–14 — 120 min · €60
Understand how your child speaks, understands and learns across several languages at once
Children growing up with several languages don't always show their difficulties in obvious ways. A comprehensive assessment gives a full picture of a child's speech and language development — two specialists work with the child together: Olga assesses speech development and Russian, Elizaveta assesses Estonian and how the child uses it in learning.
Ages 2–5 — 90 min · €80
Ages 6–14 — up to 120 min · €90
The same child can behave very differently across languages: speaking Russian fluently at home but struggling to answer in Estonian — or understanding everyday Estonian but not school vocabulary. Assessing only one language doesn't always reveal the real cause of the difficulty.
We assess the languages the child actually uses or is learning — not an identical full set for every age. For ages 2–5 the focus is on speech, comprehension and vocabulary in Russian and Estonian. For ages 6–14 this extends to reading, retelling, understanding school instructions and subject vocabulary.
When your child wants to communicate but doesn't have the words yet
Through play, movement and emotional interaction we support understanding, imitation, and the emergence of first words and phrases.
€30 single session, €27/session paid monthly
So your child is understood by more than just mom and dad
We work with the whole speech system, not just one sound: correcting and reinforcing sounds, vocabulary, grammar, connected speech.
€30 single session, €27/session paid monthly
“He understands everything in Russian, but only answers in Estonian”
We help make Russian a living, actively used language again — not just one the child understands passively.

Children can discover reading before school — without pressure or dull worksheets
Through play, short tasks and visual cues, the child gradually learns sounds, letters and words.
€30 single session, €27/session paid monthly

€30 single session, €27/session paid monthly
English isn't for filling out worksheets — it's for understanding and speaking
For preschoolers: games and conversation. For school-age children: speaking, reading, vocabulary and closing grammar gaps.

They read the page. But what was it actually about?
We teach finding the main idea, seeing cause and effect, retelling, and arguing a point of view.
€30 single session, €27/session paid monthly
Sometimes what a child needs isn't another lesson, but the right strategy from the adults around them
We look at your specific family and child: what to change, what to keep, and when specialist help is actually needed.

Russian shouldn't only live in conversations with mom
In a small group, Russian becomes a real language of play and peer conversation — not just a language spoken at home.
€80/mo regular rate, €90/mo flexible rate
Learning to be a student before the first day of school
In a group, the child learns to listen to instructions alongside others, wait their turn, and work at a shared pace — something individual lessons can't offer.
€75/mo regular rate, €85/mo flexible rate
So English feels like “I can” from day one, not “I'm afraid to get it wrong”
Games, movement, songs and pictures — in a group there's a natural need to say something to another child.
€75/mo regular rate, €85/mo flexible rate
So school English stops being just a pile of rules
Children use the language themselves a lot: reading, answering, discussing, playing — gradually building a system out of grammar.
€75/mo regular rate, €85/mo flexible rate
As the curriculum gets harder, closing gaps early matters
We restore structure to the language while developing real speech: tenses, sentence building, vocabulary, reading.
€75/mo regular rate, €85/mo flexible rate
A skill that helps across every school subject at once

€70/mo regular rate, €80/mo flexible rate
First friends, first dialogues, first confident phrases
Speech develops fastest when a child genuinely wants to say something to another person — we play, move, and listen to stories together.

Your child lives in Estonia. We want them not just to “know” Estonian, but to feel confident using it

€25 single session, €22.50/session paid monthly
“He knows the math. But gets a bad grade because he didn't understand the question”
Not just “doing homework together” — we teach the child to understand assignment wording and school texts independently.
€25 single session, €22.50/session paid monthly
Good math doesn't start with calculation speed — it starts with the ability to think
Not endless identical worksheets — we train pattern recognition, spatial thinking, and the ability to explain one's own solution.
€30 single session, €27/session paid monthly
So that before school, hearing Estonian makes your child think “I understand!”
Estonian appears through play, songs and everyday situations — no need to learn a rule before speaking.

€70–90/mo regular rate, €80–100/mo flexible rate
For children who need more than just memorising “how to solve it”
Children compare solutions, spot patterns, and learn to explain their own approach and understand others' — the group format is a real advantage here.
€60/mo regular rate, €70/mo flexible rate
Your child knows how to use a smartphone. But do they know how to use a computer?
Keyboard skills, files and folders, documents, presentations, finding reliable information, and digital safety.
€80/mo
Your child already uses AI. The question is whether they use it well
We teach how to write good AI prompts, spot mistakes in its answers, check facts, and present the child's own work — not the machine's.

€25 single session, €22.50/session paid monthly
We open exactly the assignment your child didn't understand today
The child shares their e-textbook, Stuudium page or presentation — we work through the logic of the assignment, not just hand over an answer.
€25 single session, €22.50/session paid monthly
Language develops when you actually have to speak it
Children talk to each other, take turns answering, read, and learn to use the language in live dialogue.

Extra support for children learning every day in a non-native language

Centre director · speech and language therapist
Speech and language therapist and English teacher, specialist in speech development and school readiness.
Completed training at Marina Samoylenko's Distance Speech Therapy School ("Specialist" and "Pro" modules), plus courses in psycholinguistics, foreign-language teaching methods for children, and modern pedagogical techniques.
"For me, it's important to first see the child themselves — their strengths, interests and individual traits — before building a plan of corrective work. Through play, movement and engaging tasks, we gradually develop speech, attention and self-confidence.
A good result isn't just a correctly pronounced sound. What matters is that the child finds it easier to communicate and feels confident among peers and adults."
Educational technology specialist
Specialist in computer science, digital skills, Estonian language and modern educational programs.
"I love the moment when a child realises technology isn't just for games — it's a tool they can actually use, even create with. I try to teach Estonian the same way, not as a lesson, but as a way to feel more confident in everyday life — at kindergarten, at school, with friends.
What matters most to me is that a child isn't afraid to try and get things wrong — whether it's a new Estonian word or their first line of code in Roblox Studio. That's when learning stops being stressful and starts being something they're actually good at."
A parent sends a request through the site or contacts the centre directly.
A specialist clarifies the child's age, language environment and the family's main goal.
If needed, an initial diagnostic session or short introduction with the child takes place.
The child is offered an individual or group class within a suitable program.
Exact class length, group size and teaching language are confirmed at booking.
Each program's price is shown on its card above, in the Programs section. Here are the general payment rules.
You can start with a single session to see if the teacher and format suit your child. Paying a month in advance lowers the price. Standard session length is 45 minutes; longer sessions can be arranged separately.
The regular rate suits families planning consistent attendance. The flexible rate has no long-term commitment but costs a little more.
Digital courses follow a separate rule: enrolment is for a fixed term, and each child has a dedicated workstation.
The final price and availability are confirmed at booking.
