Most STUDENTS are looking for help in preparation for Academic IELTS to study abroad. Speaking practise is the most popular. We follow the exam format and cover as broad a range of topics as possible which can be divided into people, places, routines and activities, as well as objects. Part 1 focuses on relaxation and rhythm, part 2 on descriptive storytelling, and part 3 on stating opinions supported by reasoning and examples.
For the IELTS writing, we analyse your essays together in class for task achievement, structural coherence, grammar and use of vocabulary.
From time-to-time, students also ask me to help them with the IELTS reading where I place focus on developing the ability to switch between skim reading, scanning and intensive reading. 

Other exam preparation is also available such as CAMBRIDGE, TOEFL etc. 
I can also assist you with PRESENTATIONS, LETTERS OF APPLICATION, INTERVIEW PREPARATION and ESSAY PROOF READING. If you are unsure how to improve, I can give you advice on the best strategy for your learning goals.

🎯 What’s this Trial Lesson really about?
This isn’t a class. It’s a breakthrough.

You’re smart, experienced, and expressive — in your native language.
But in English, it’s different.
You overthink. You play it safe. You speak less than you want to.

This session is where that begins to change.

🧠 This is not a grammar class.
It’s not about repeating phrases from a textbook.
This is executive-level speaking coaching — built entirely around you.

In 30 minutes, we’ll work on:
✔️ Identifying your speaking blocks — clarity, tone, speed, mindset
✔️ Real scenarios — interviews, meetings, or presentations
✔️ Shifting from “I hope I survive this” to “I own this moment”

You don’t need more phrases.
You need presence. Precision. Power in your English voice.

🔥 Why this works:
Because it’s personalized. Not a program. Not a book.
Every session is custom-built to solve your unique challenges.
That’s why I’m not the cheapest — and that’s exactly why it works.

🎁 Book this week and get a custom voice feedback recording —
I’ll analyze your speaking and give 2–3 personal insights to immediately improve your fluency, calmness, and clarity.

This is for you if:
— You have an interview, a high-stakes conversation, or just want to sound like yourself in English
— You’re done with “studying” and ready to actually speak with confidence
— You want your English to reflect your intelligence, not hide it

🎙 Book your trial. Let’s begin the shift.
Your voice is already powerful — we’re just going to unlock it.

Before you book another English class, ask yourself these 5 questions:

1️⃣ Do I want to sound like a confident professional — not like I’m reading from Google Translate?
2️⃣ Do I need results fast — not “someday, eventually, after I memorize all tenses”?
3️⃣ Do I want real-time feedback from someone who’s prepared 1000+ professionals for interviews, presentations & promotions?
4️⃣ Do I want storytelling, tone, presence — not just “grammar correction”?
5️⃣ Do I want to finally stop feeling small in English — and start sounding like the leader I actually am?

If you answered “yes” to at least three —
👉 we need to talk.

🎯 My program “Only Logical Choice” gives you exactly what your next role demands:
✔️ Structure that fits your thinking
✔️ Words that support your worth
✔️ Voice that shows you belong

💼 I’ve helped clients from Apple, Tencent, Amazon and beyond — and now it’s your turn.

📩 DM me “YES” if you’re ready to say:
YES, I CHOOSE TO SOUND LIKE A LEADER.

Your presentation is coming. And you can’t afford to “wing it in English.”

You’ve read the tips.

You’ve told yourself, “I’ll practice soon.”

But the stage is waiting.
And your English? Still stuck in passive mode.

It’s about delivering your message with power, presence, and precision.

Does your English hold back your brilliance?

If you’re a non-native speaker navigating high-stakes meetings, presentations, or career-defining conversations — you already know:
💼 It’s not about grammar. It’s about presence.

I’m Anatoly Glazkov, and I coach ambitious professionals — managers, VPs, rising leaders — to unlock the one skill that accelerates careers: clear, confident English communication.

🧠 Not textbook fluency.
But the ability to speak with authority when the pressure is on.

Imagine walking into a boardroom or joining a Zoom call and knowing exactly how to:
✔️ Explain your vision
✔️ Handle tough questions
✔️ Speak with clarity, not hesitation
✔️ Persuade in English — without second-guessing yourself

🚀 That’s what my clients achieve.

With 20,000+ 1:1 coaching sessions under my belt, I’ve helped professionals from Apple, Tencent, KPMG, and more:

🔹 Master their mindset — silence self-doubt and speak from power
🔹 Build an international leadership voice — without losing their identity
🔹 Speak with precision — no more “sorry for my English”

💡 Why me?
I’ve hired 120+ people myself. I know what decision-makers listen for.
I’ve been Top Coach of the Month 54 months in a row.
Employee of the Year out of 4,000.
Top 1% coach out of 7,000.
And — I’ve helped brilliant minds like yours go from silent to unshakable.

🎯 IELTS Speaking Coaching That Works (Even When Nothing Else Has)

Some students memorize phrases.
Some take courses.
Some spend months — and still get a 6.0. 😩

Now meet my students.
— 5.5 → 6.5 in just 12 hours of coaching
— 6.0 → 7.5 with real speaking power
— Several jumped to 8.0
And yes — I scored a 9.0 on the IELTS Speaking test… with zero preparation.
(Not because I’m special — but because I understand how the exam really works.)

👨‍🏫 I’ve done over 20,000 one-on-one speaking sessions, mostly with Chinese and Russian-speaking learners.
These students are brilliant — but their English voice?
Blocked. Overcontrolled. Too textbook.
Sound familiar?

So what’s my method?

🔓 I don’t just teach answers.
I unlock voices. I help students sound real, sharp, expressive — not robotic or memorized.

In our sessions, we:
✅ Learn how to build fluent answers with natural English
✅ Add storytelling, emotion, structure — the stuff examiners love
✅ Destroy “grammar fear” and replace it with clarity and confidence
✅ Practice with fun, high-pressure simulation rounds
✅ Laugh, correct, level up — together.

This isn’t a boring prep course.
It’s a personal transformation.
I don’t follow a script — I follow you. That’s why it works.

👪 Parents love this because:
— Their children start enjoying speaking
— They get personal care, not just “lesson plans”
— Results come fast — and they stick

💎 My coaching is premium because it’s custom, deep, and proven.
7+ years. Thousands of voices. Real scores. Real success.

Neuro-linguistic programming is an approach to communication and personal development that analyzes the behavior of successful people.
In business, neuro-linguistic programming can be used to strengthen leadership and presentation skills. It can also be used to increase emotional intelligence, which has important implications for sales negotiation and staff communication.
Modeling, action, and communication are core components of neuro-linguistic programming.

I successfully recruited 120 English teachers for a Chinese conglomerate on a freelance basis from 2018 to 2021. Through personal interviews and hosting Skype conferences, I gained valuable insights into the industry and what makes a top performer. My success is attributed to strong communication, networking, negotiation skills, and a strategic recruitment approach. The entire activity was aside my full time teaching, making me super  time organized and strategic for a number of years.

As a career coach for corporate China, I was cultivating empathy and active listening as they were the major components to be able to assist my clients. Moreover, goal setting and putting plans into action was another point I taught them about. By doing so, I wanted to raise their self-confidence, thus efficiency at work. Last but not least - job interview preparation was the main module of our meetings. Helping them be fully ready was the main component that made all the difference.

A good restaurant manager knows how to run a business smoothly and treat customers with respect and understanding. They should also be patient, stay calm under pressure, possess outstanding customer service skills, have excellent planning skills, and understand effective marketing strategies. Since I was the floor manager these skills were taught to me by my management board as I kept being promoted. However, I chose not to go to higher management path and I changed a)countries b) careers.

Helping corporate employees of Asia from mid-management to CEO level to communicate confidently in business presentations, communications to clients, and building confidence was the major scope of my work. Teaching 1-1 and group classes with up to 6 students. As a result, students become confident speakers and can communicate their ideas effortlessly in various business settings. I managed to teach nearly 2 thousand 45 minute classes

Meeting various corporate managers of China's top firms like Huawei, Alibaba, We Chat and others - the goal was to help them organize their thoughts in English for business trips, communication with boards of directors, prepared for presentations in English both online and offline. I was deeply involved in career-coaching to foster more promotions as I was an extremely relevant case myself ( the best employee of the year in 2 global firms). Managed to do nearly 13 thousand classes.

A corporate trainer needs a range of skills and these include good:

Communication skills
Time management skills
Organizations skills
Coaching skills
Basic understanding of pedagogy
Feedback skills
Research and design skills
Subject matter expertise or knowledge

It's great to work with clients from different fields. I can a) help them succeed better b)improve my professionalism along the way. This is what I continuously do for the past 8 years - helping people thrive using Anatoly's Process.

Presentation Skills. Confidence in 5 Hours

🌟 Improve your English speaking skills with my exciting Conversation Class! 🌟

As the leader of a public speaking club in Gloucester, UK, I learned special techniques to make speaking easier in both your native language and English as your second language. I created a fun game called the Fluency Game, which helps people speak better. Some students have improved a lot in just ten lessons. One student said, "I didn't think I could learn English well... but now I can. Thank you for the Fluency Game."

This class is great if you want to get ready for the IELTS speaking test or if you're going to study in an English-speaking country.

Here's what our lessons will be like:

Personalized Lessons: We'll focus on what you want to learn. Whether you're preparing for a test or want to speak better in everyday situations, we'll work on what's important to you.

Fun Learning: We'll discuss articles or blogs you like. I'll read them, too, and we'll discuss them together. This will help you understand better and use English more confidently.

Help with Technical Words: If you work in IT, we can spend some time talking about your projects. I'll help you find the right words to explain what you're doing.

Talk About Your Interests: We can also talk about your hobbies and favourite topics. Every conversation will help you learn new words and feel more comfortable speaking English.

Join me for private lessons where you'll get plenty of chances to practice speaking. It's a great way to improve your English quickly. Ready to start? Contact me today to book your first lesson!
