I offer personalized English, IELTS, and TOEFL lessons focused on both general language improvement and exam-specific strategies. My teaching combines structured materials, official-style practice tests, textbooks, authentic English content, and individual feedback. I help students improve grammar, vocabulary, speaking fluency, writing structure, listening comprehension, reading strategies, and time management.
A typical lesson includes a short warm-up, review/Q&A, targeted practice, detailed feedback, and homework adapted to the student’s goals. I commonly offer flipped-lesson structure so as to maximise students' speaking time during lessons and minimise passive video, audio, and text material study—something that can often be done without a tutor. For exam preparation, I also help with understanding the format, avoiding common mistakes, and building confidence through regular timed practice.
I have five years of experience teaching both children and adults. My students have achieved TOEFL scores such as 98, 100, 105, and 114, and I have helped some learners progress from elementary all the way to C1/C2 and exam success. I personally scored 116/120 on TOEFL iBT and 8.5/9 on IELTS Academic, and I hold a TEFL/TESOL certificate with excellence.
What sets me apart is my friendly, supportive, reliable, and conscientious teaching style. As a native Russian and Kyrgyz speaker, I can explain difficult points clearly to Russian-speaking students. I also speak Intermediate Mandarin Chinese (HSK 5) and I am actively learning German—in other words I understand what struggles language learners face very well. This, as well as my cognitive neuropsychology and linguistics background make me very competent in languages as such, which helps me adapt to all kinds of students.
My lessons are suitable for teenagers, including school students, adults, university applicants, professionals, and anyone preparing for IELTS, TOEFL, academic English, or general English improvement. I work with learners from beginners to advanced levels and adapt lessons to each student’s goals, timeline, and current ability.
