Thank you for considering booking a trial lesson with me! A trial lesson allows us to get to know each other and let's me learn more about you and your goals and needs. During the class, we'll have a short conversation and complete a set of exercises. I will also introduce you to the key materials and resources I use to conduct my lessons.

I do recommend that you send me a message before our lesson and tell me a little bit about yourself as it helps me to prepare and makes our first interaction even more effective.

My rules:
- I do not teach students under 16 years of age.
- Lessons start and end on time. If you’re running late, please message me on iTalki — I’ll wait, but the lesson will still finish at the scheduled time. If there’s no message within the first 10 minutes of the lesson, the student will be marked as a no-show and the class will be cancelled without refund.
- Please contact me if you need to reschedule. I’ll do my best to accommodate you, but lessons cannot be cancelled or rescheduled less than 24 hours before the start time.
- Refunds are NOT provided for lessons cancelled within 24 hours or for missed classes.
- Smoking, consuming alcohol, or using any substances during lessons is strictly prohibited. Violations will result in immediate termination of the lesson and, if applicable, the lesson package.
- Abusive, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate behaviour or language toward the teacher or anyone else will result in immediate termination of the lesson and, if applicable, the package.

This course is designed to help you truly understand English grammar — not just learn the rules. Each lesson combines clear explanations with short conversational practice to bring theory to life. We use materials from Cambridge and Oxford, online resources, videos, quizzes, and homework that challenges you without overwhelming you. Thanks to my extensive experience, I am able to teach students of all levels, from A0 to C1–C2, and I can provide grammar explanations in Russian and Japanese when needed.
