Irina Slavina
Israeli Education Expert · 35 years of experience
I help Russian-speaking families navigate Israel's education system — from enrolling a child in school to admission into university. Over 35 years, thousands of families have come through my consultations; I know the real procedures, the non-obvious requirements, and the traps that catch olim without a local guide.
In-person consultations in Saint Petersburg; online across RF, CIS, and for the Russian-speaking diaspora worldwide.
