With over 10 years of experience teaching professionals and students, I combine phonetics expertise (Speech & Language Therapy trained) with real-world communication strategies.
I'm a qualified, experienced teacher with a background in both education and business. My lessons are professional, practical, and tailored to your goals.
✅ Polished British pronunciation – sound natural, confident, and fluent.
✅ IELTS Speaking & Writing – proven strategies for Band 7 and above.
✅ Business English – interviews, presentations, and cross-cultural confidence.
As a Russian learner myself, I understand how frustrating language learning can be. Let’s turn your goals into real progress!
