Student Results and Testimonials
Hear from students who have achieved their goals with personalized lessons.
Aleksandr Z., General English Student
“After two months of lessons, my interest in the English language woke up. I really like the way the material is presented. Everything is progressing gradually, exactly the way I wanted. Katya is a very patient teacher; she always corrects and helps fix mistakes, even obvious ones. I also really appreciate her positive outlook on life - I love people like that.”
Michelle, General English Student
“I like games, and they helped me improve my English, which used to be at a level 4.”
Mariya P, General English Student
“I really enjoy studying with Ekaterina because it’s easy to learn with her. When I don’t understand something, I can ask, and she explains everything in detail — in Russian, which is important for me. If I were studying with a native speaker (I did that before), I probably wouldn’t understand many things and would just continue with the program without really learning the rules I need. We have already been studying together for 10 months, and it has become easier for me to understand English. But I still have a lot more to learn. When you study twice a week, it becomes easier to remember new words. I also like that Ekaterina adds games and themed holidays to our lessons. It reminds me of school and gives me a pleasant feeling of nostalgia.”
Kristina, General English Student
“Thanks to you, I understand English better now.”
Vera I., General English Student
“I started taking English lessons with Katya four months ago. Before meeting her, I had studied English, but I couldn’t understand spoken English at all. I felt discouraged and thought that I simply didn’t have the ability to learn languages. Now I can understand simple texts by ear, thanks to Katya’s patience and some “life hacks” that she generously shares. The English lessons pass like a single minute because it’s interesting and easy to learn with Katya. I’m happy that now I can communicate on simple topics in English without using Google Translate.”
Alexei S., General English Student
“We would like to thank our mentor in learning English, Ekaterina. Our lessons always take place in a positive and relaxed atmosphere, which helps eliminate the feeling of being “shy about our English.” This has a very positive effect on the quality of learning, because studying a language is all about practice, practice, and more practice! We would also like to highlight the opportunity to learn American English. For us, it was a pleasant and useful option that makes the lessons even more interesting. Now our travels are becoming more and more enjoyable and comfortable each time. English is truly called an international language for a reason. ”
Valentina V., General English Student
“I want to express my gratitude to Ekaterina for the English lessons. I really appreciated the easy and accessible way she presents the material and her method for memorizing words. Throughout all the lessons, there was a wonderful friendly atmosphere and Ekaterina’s genuine desire to help me achieve good results in learning the language. Thank you, and wishing you continued success!”
