Speak English with Ilmir

  From 5th grade: school curriculum and grades

  I explain things clearly and step by step, without overload. It all starts to click into place, and English stops being scary.

  You'll say with ease:

  “Can I try to answer this one?”

  From scratch or after a long break

  We break the language barrier: mistakes are totally fine here, and I correct them gently. You learn to think in English instead of translating in your head.

  You can chat about yourself, your work and your plans without worrying about slipping up.

  You'll say with ease:

  “Sorry, could you say that again a bit slower?”

  Interviews, promotions, international companies

  We prep interview questions for your field and practise talking about your experience and business English. I've taught entrepreneurs and company directors too.

  You'll say with ease:

  “Could you walk me through the next steps?”

  Everyday life, small talk, pronunciation

  Real-life English for a new country and your trips. We polish your pronunciation, British or American, and throw in some slang as a bonus.

  In 2-3 months

  You handle everyday stuff, make new friends and travel without a translator app.

  You'll say with ease:

  “Where can I grab a good coffee around here?”

• I want to thank Ilmir for his great English lessons. He explains things really clearly and is always supportive when something doesn't click. The lessons have a comfortable, friendly vibe (my husband and I study together). Thanks to his approach I feel more confident and can see real progress. Highly recommend :)

• So glad I chose this teacher. The lessons have a comfortable, supportive atmosphere, so you're not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. Everything is explained clearly, without overload, and gradually comes together into a system. English stopped being scary and I've actually started using it in real life. With an approach like this you want to keep learning and recommend him to others.

• My daughter has been studying with him since September. Ilmir is a teacher who really connects with his student. The lessons are interesting and useful. He explains everything clearly and in detail. The online lessons are engaging. We'll definitely carry on.

• Really happy with my lessons with Ilmir! He explains the material clearly and is very attentive. I'd especially point out his modern, effective way of teaching English: he mixes all kinds of ways of presenting the material. Only an outstanding teacher can pull that off; you can feel the professionalism and years of experience.

• Ilmir prepared me for a job interview. I hadn't practised for 7 years, and with him I started speaking again and learned lots of new words, all in a single two-hour lesson. A really talented teacher, I'll definitely be back. Thank you!

• I urgently needed to prepare for an interview in English. I hadn't used the language for 3 years and had to get it back fast, and Ilmir nailed it. For the very first lesson he put together a set of interview questions, adapting some of them to my industry, which helped a lot. A very considerate, tactful and knowledgeable teacher. Thank you, Ilmir!

• I'd had a long break from studying, but decided to get back into it and found this teacher. Ilmir isn't just a great teacher, he's a great person too. You don't have to be afraid of mistakes, and if you make any, they're corrected tactfully. It's great that he has experience of international communication and teaching. I enjoy coming to the lessons, I sometimes even say it feels like going to therapy :) Huge thanks to Ilmir!

• I fell out of love with English after failing my final school exam... and Ilmir helped me fall in love with the language all over again. He broke everything down and showed me exactly where my weak spots were. I'm trying to get all my friends to sign up with him. He's super cool outside lessons too: I can message him any time of day or night, even just to chat. Anyway, I recommend him, he'll make you fall in love with English!!

• Hi all, I had a very urgent task: getting my English pronunciation right for my work at the BRICS Games. Honestly, it was really hard, and my busy schedule made it even trickier. But Ilmir somehow magically found time for me. I loved his skill and personal approach: he understood the task straight away and we got to work. Thanks to him I got feedback that my pronunciation was excellent. Highly recommend!
