English
for students

"Exams are a nightmare, new words just won't stick, I can't make heads or tails of these perfect tenses, I can't translate this text, I understand everything but can't say a word!" I assure you that it doesn’t have to be this way. Let’s try studying English together. My students have succeeded, and so can you!

English
for work

A good command of the English language will help you communicate effectively with international partners, have success with your projects and climb the career ladder. I know how to guide you on this path without it being a thorny one. Don’t put it off. Let’s get started right now!

Everyday
English

Do you want to easily find discounts for your air travel and make the best hotel bookings, find a cozy café while travelling, chat with the locals at a bar, or meet The Love of Your Life online, and tell them all about your amazing self — all in English? I'll teach you!

Italy pizza

Italian
from scratch

Would you like to sing along with your favourite Italian stars, chat casually with the locals on the beach, in shops, and markets, find your way easily in the streets of Italian towns, understand your tour guide in a museum, and not miss out on unfamiliar dishes in a restaurant?
I have learnt to do all these things, and I am ready to teach you!

I am ready to teach you!

Today, teaching worldwide has switched to online formats. It can seem somewhat tricky if you don’t know how to navigate this brand-new world. I am ready to inform and instruct you. Contact me now.

Which course should I choose, and what are the lessons like?

I offer each of my students a custom-made course to meet their needs. Every course is thoughtfully crafted and updated during our collaboration, all tailored to meet your expectations. Here are some general principles:

— Lesson duration: 60 or 90 minutes;

— Platforms: Skype or Zoom;

— Regardless of the goal, we always TALK things through at the beginning of each lesson. We discuss the news, share ideas and exchange opinions. This is the most efficient way to break the language barrier;

— We study language in context, having in mind that English is not just “London is the capital of Great Britain,” but also a mysterious combination of fascinating facts, thoughts, and images from history, literature, geography, and more.

In my lessons

— avid travellers gain vital, practical skills;

— career-minded individuals train to ace tough interviews, work with sources and compile documents, and deliver knockout presentations;

— social butterflies master the art of a gracious small-talk;

— politicians learn to debate and make persuasive speeches;

— victims of bullying teachers discover the joy of diving into the wonderful friendly world of English!
