English classes with an American-born Russian and Ukrainian Speaker !

From 19.46 £ /h

I am a native English and Russian speaker! I was born in America, and my parents are Russian-speaking immigrants. I taught my mother to speak English. I live between New York and Kyiv. Together, you and I will practice English in conversation, talking about life, movies and art.

I am a professional writer, and will help you practice English by writing in it. Your homework will be to write, and then I will ask you to read out loud your writing! I've taken many foreign language classes as a student, so I understand the frustrations of being in a class without adequate practice.

About Me

I am a professional writer.

I work as an assistant on film scripts. I also write as a ghostwriter, so I hold conversations with clients, record the conversations, and then synthesize them into essays.

I live between Kyiv, where I have an art gallery, and just finished a novella that will be translated into Ukrainian. I am currently in New York finishing a film script with my colleague.

My mother and father speak Russian, and I taught my mother English. I would love to practice your English with you!

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

You've mastered your craft. It's time your English reflected that.
As a professional, you have the expertise, the vision, and the ambition.

A lack of fluency in English is the glass ceiling for ambitious careers. But the solution isn't to relearn school grammar from scratch. What you need is a strategic advantage.

The Bilingual Edge program was designed exclusively for French learners who no longer have time to waste on generic methods. Here, we don't aim for mere linguistic survival, but for excellence linked to practice.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
>Take the lead in international meetings and negotiations, without hesitation.
>Articulate complex ideas and defend your projects with the same force as in French.
>Eliminate typically French turns of phrase ("franglais") which weaken your message.
>Build an international network and establish your credibility with English-speaking clients, partners or managers.

Don't let the language barrier limit your impact any longer. Turn your English into your greatest professional asset and give your career the global reach it deserves.

Hi there! My name is Jana and I am excited to be your tutor! I teach English, Business English, French and Italian but my professional background is in renewable energy, sustainability and public policy. I always saw languages as a tool to open new opportunities and will be happy to guide you on your journey to fluency. Over the years, I have worked as a mentor and educator, helping students and young professionals develop their confidence, communication skills and academic or professional goals. I particularly enjoy helping people become more comfortable speaking and expressing themselves in a foreign language. As a teacher, I prefer a conversational and personalised approach. Rather than relying on textbooks, I focus on real-life communication and creating a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable practicing and making progress. If that's something that resonates with you, I will be happy to see you in my class.
