Hello ! My name is Ailona, I grew up in the UK and spent many years traveling the world as a performer with Cirque du Soleil, living and working in different countries. These experiences helped me understand how languages connect people and how important confidence is when communicating. I’m passionate about travel, culture, cooking, hiking, reading, and meeting people from all walks of life. In my lessons, I create a relaxed, friendly environment where you can learn at your own pace and enjoy the process. I look forward to supporting your language journey!

Me as a Teacher

I’m an English–Russian tutor with over 10 years of experience in teaching and translation. I’m passionate about helping students feel confident and comfortable using English in real-life situations. My international background has helped me understand the challenges of learning a new language and adapting to different cultures, so I always aim to create lessons that feel supportive, practical, and enjoyable. I specialise in improving communication skills, helping students speak more naturally, expand their vocabulary, and build confidence in conversations. Every lesson is personalised to suit your goals, level, and learning style so you can progress at a pace that works best for you.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons are supportive, personalised, and focused on helping students communicate naturally and confidently in English. I adapt each class to your goals, level, and learning style, whether you want to improve conversation skills, expand your vocabulary, or feel more comfortable speaking in everyday situations. I create a relaxed and encouraging environment where you can practice without pressure and progress at your own pace.
