English for Business or Academic Purposes (CEFR B1-C1)

From 85.2 £ /h

Intercultural awareness and communications are key when venturing into the world of international business or academia. Would you like to feel more secure about your English skills at work or university? As a certified teacher, linguist and published author and editor of teaching materials I understand and can teach you how to strike the right tone in different contexts.

These lessons are meant for intermediate (B1) to expert (C2) English learners. Depending on your language level, we can focus on language skills, customs and cultural conventions for specific purposes, such as:
- job interviews,
- (academic or business) presentation skills, and
- business writing (correspondence, reports, minutes) or academic writing

As a freelancer author and editor, I have developed course material for university students seeking to improve their academic and business English. Let me know what your specific goals are, so I can tailor my content to your needs.

About Me

My heart is not just in teaching, but in all aspects of education. Over the last 8 years I have worked as a (private) language teacher, test developer, textbook author and editor, and e-learning author. I have taught beginners to advanced learners, teenagers and adults. As a teacher, I enjoy combining the knowledge and skills I have acquired to create learning plans and content for students.

I teach general language skills (speaking, reading, listening, writing, grammar, pronunciation), test preparation, and business and academic language skills. In addition, I can proofread your writing.

My lessons are very student driven; the content of our lessons will depend on what you wish to achieve. I tailor my lessons and homework to your goals and interests to make your language learning experience not only a success, but more importantly, enjoyable and motivating.

I see language use as a tool, not a goal in itself. I use media and materials about your topics of interest to practice a specific language topic. During online lessons, I will write down vocab and grammar notes and tips for you to review after class. For homework assignments, I like to use podcasts, videos, articles, and recipes that we can discuss in class.

My tutoring approach is student-centered, supportive, and highly adaptable. Since each learner is unique, I design my lessons according to each individual's goals, interests, and learning style.

I strive to make lessons dynamic and interactive, using discussions, creative exercises, concrete examples, and structured guidance to help students fully grasp the concepts being studied. Where relevant, I also incorporate techniques from theatre and performance to help students develop their oral fluency and communication skills.

With younger students, I focus on building a solid foundation in reading, comprehension, and critical thinking, while ensuring that lessons remain engaging and enjoyable. For older students and adults, I support the development of academic writing, spoken English, exam preparation, and professional communication skills.

Above all, my goal is to help students gain confidence, progress in a clear and positive way, and enjoy the learning process.

Hi! I'm a professional musician based in Vienna, with experience performing on international cruise ships.

I have a native-level command of Russian and speak English fluently.

I believe the best way to learn a language is through real conversation — no stiff textbooks, no pressure,
just genuine communication in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Whether you're an absolute beginner taking your very first steps, a professional looking to sharpen your target language, or a teenager wanting to sound more natural — I tailor every lesson to you.

Why learn Russian?
Russian language is one the most spoken languages in the world - and one of the most underrated to learn.
It covers over 250 million people across Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and many other countries.
It opens the door to one of the richest literary and artistic traditions in human history.
It helps people connect, whether it's a professional or personal realm.

Why learn Russian with me?

My sessions are flexible, fun, and always focused on building your confidence.
Living between cultures and languages my whole life has taught me how daunting — and how rewarding — learning a new language can be. I get it, and I'm here to make the journey easier.
