I usually work with students who already have some foundation in English and can more or less express their thoughts.

I don’t see much sense in following textbooks or endlessly dissecting grammar and vocabulary from irrelevant topics.

Instead, our lessons focus on what you bring to the table. We work in the flow, like field research in English — using whatever comes up here and now. Most of the lesson is conversation, and I provide the phrases, structures, and vocabulary you need on the spot, diving deeper into a topic when necessary.

We make our time as productive as possible: analyzing real examples, creating contexts, and exploring when and how expressions are used. The goal is for you to understand the essence of a phrase and feel comfortable using it.

All new vocabulary is saved for you — each student has their own Quizlet set to review and practice for better memorization.

 

This isn’t about “talk and forget.” To make real progress, you need consistent repetition and recycling of what you’ve learned.

 

 

 

 

The most important factor is how much quality time you’re ready to dedicate to English.

Most of my students have lessons 2–3 times per week, and that’s enough to progress steadily and confidently toward a higher level.

 

On average, it takes about 100–200 hours to move up to the next level. For example, if you’re at A2 and want to reach B1, you’ll need around a year of studying twice a week — plus doing your homework, of course.

I know many students worry about making mistakes. My priority is to help you feel comfortable during lessons while gradually building your confidence through new knowledge.

Of course, we correct mistakes — especially those that make it difficult for others to understand you. Usually, I take notes while you speak, and then afterward, we go through them together, exploring how you could phrase things differently.

 

However, if we’re working intensively on a new grammar topic, I’ll correct you in the moment. That way, you start building the habit of saying things the right way straight away.
