Speak English with confidence — lessons tailored to your goals

Native English teacher from LA, based in Russia

I didn’t start as a teacher. My first career was in IT. Psychology taught me how people learn. Moscow taught me how to teach with humor and patience.

For the past 8 years, I’ve been showing students that English isn’t about memorizing rules — it’s about using it with confidence in real life.

How I teach

Here’s what makes my lessons different.

• Understanding: No memorizing, just using.
• Engagement: Games, stories, and real talk that stick.
• Personalization: Your goals, your pace, your lessons.
• Results: Clear progress you can feel in conversations.

Before teaching, I spent years in IT and business. Now I help Russian professionals cut through the noise and speak clearly in English. We work on language + cultural nuance.
