I believe language learning should feel more like speaking with a friend than sitting in a classroom. My lessons are full of conversation, laughter, and practical phrases you can use right away. I tailor every session to you — your interests, your pace, and your goals — so no two lessons are ever the same. We’ll focus on speaking naturally and confidently, while also sprinkling in just enough grammar to keep you accurate. Whether you want to prepare for travel, feel comfortable in everyday situations, get study-ready, or simply enjoy learning, my warm, relaxed and encouraging style will help you get there without stress.
I understand the challenges of learning a new language — I learned English myself as a child when I emigrated from Russia to England and now I am learning German — so I understand the ups and downs of language learning.
As a teacher, I can offer a comfortable and encouraging environment. I am here to make your English-learning journey fun! I have had the pleasure of helping many students become more confident in expressing themselves in English, and I can’t wait to help you improve your English skills and have many interesting conversations along the way!
In my lessons, we can follow flexible formats, from casual conversation practice to structured discussion topics. I also include small exercises, role-plays, and useful phrases to make lessons dynamic and interactive. Every session is adapted to your level and interests, ensuring you leave the lesson feeling confident and motivated.
