I'm an MIT graduate with over a decade of language teaching experience and a background in engineering and IT. I've been learning languages since childhood and speak in five, so I understand firsthand what it takes to improve. I work with motivated learners (A2–C2) who want to speak clearly, confidently, and naturally in English. Many of my students are professionals or graduate students, but I welcome anyone serious about making real progress. Every session includes structured feedback — you receive a personalized document with corrections and natural expressions you can review after class. If you're serious about improving your English, book a trial lesson and let's get started.

Me as a Teacher

My lessons are structured but relaxed. We focus on real communication, and I correct pronunciation, grammar, and phrasing in real time so you improve naturally as you speak. You leave every class with written feedback in a shared document — not vague, but specific to you. Because I've learned multiple languages myself, I understand common challenges and how to address them efficiently. Whether you're preparing for interviews, professional communication, or building stronger fluency, I tailor our work to your specific goals.

My lessons & teaching style

My approach is practical, analytical, and performance-focused. • Conversation-based sessions tailored to your level and objectives • Real-time correction of pronunciation, grammar, and expression • Written feedback after every class in a shared Google Doc • Article-based discussions to expand vocabulary and depth • Structured mock interviews and answer refinement (for interview prep) • Targeted TOEFL/IELTS speaking and writing practice Every session is intended to help you improve your abilities and get you closer to your goals. Homework is optional but recommended for faster progress.
