Speak English the Way It Was Meant to Be Spoken

Lessons built around your level, your goals, and your pace.
Real conversations from day one.

Your English starts here.

One teacher, one goal. Let's figure out where you are and where you want to be.

Do any of these sound familiar?

English feels beautiful but impossible. Especially when you've already
tried once and still freeze the moment a real conversation starts.

"I've been on Duolingo for months and I'm still stuck"

Apps are great for streaks but not for real life. They won't help you rent an apartment or talk to a doctor.

A stressed young man with a zipper over his mouth sitting between two people having a conversation, surrounded by speech bubbles and a padlock, illustrated in a comic style with red accents.

"I'm afraid to make mistakes, so I just stay silent"

Fear of judgment blocks you more than lack of vocabulary ever could.

A worried young woman surrounded by suitcases, holding an English phrasebook, with a thought cloud showing a calendar, Paris and question marks, illustrated in a comic style with pink accents.

"I'm moving to the UK soon and my English is nowhere near ready"

The move is coming. The language isn't. And you need it for documents, work, and daily life all at once.

Hi, I'm Mariya

I'm an English teacher with experience in public schools, private language schools, and online across multiple countries. I learned English and Spanish myself, so I know exactly what it takes to move from good to fluent.

Why I teach English

Every lesson is centered around speaking practice. Even when we work on grammar or vocabulary, the goal is always to use it out loud. I specialise in pronunciation correction using a speech therapy approach, and I adapt my teaching method to each student's goals and learning style.

Just Now

We meet and figure out where you are

You tell me your goals, your level, and what feels hard. We dive into a real conversation so I can assess you live. Pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary. Together we figure out what to focus on first.

Step One

How we work together

No textbooks you'll never finish. No grammar drills that go nowhere.
Just real English, the kind people actually speak.

Real people, real results

Here's what happens when you stop settling for slow progress and start learning the right way.

ANNA THE RELOCATOR

"I arrived in London and handled everything on my own from day one. I didn't even need a translator."

Speak before you arrive

Moving to the UK? Grammar can wait. We practice real conversations — local office, landlord, doctor — from lesson one.

IRINA THE MOM

"Two months later we were already part of the neighbourhood."

Settle in, not just survive

With kids and no English, every day feels overwhelming. We focus on the conversations that matter for daily family life first.

DAVID THE ENGINEER

"I had three months to learn enough English. I made it."

An English teacher presenting a project plan to a group of colleagues in a London office, illustrated in an editorial style.

Fast track when time is short

Tight deadline? We cut everything irrelevant and build entirely around your timeline and your job.

MIKHAIL THE MANAGER

"Nobody had to speak for me in that meeting."

Own the room in English

Business English is about holding the room, not memorizing phrases. We build that through real dialogue under pressure.

Voices From My Students

Real words from real students who got unstuck and started speaking.

5 / 5

"I moved to the UK at 58 and was terrified to open my mouth.

Mariya made every lesson feel safe, warm and productive.

She never made me feel embarrassed for making mistakes.

My neighbors now stop to chat with me every morning."

Margaret Collins

Retired Teacher

4 / 5

"Mariya fully adapts to you, no wasted time.

I told her my deadline and she built a plan around it.

Every lesson was focused, efficient and genuinely useful.

I passed my C1 exam on the very first attempt."

Kenji Mori

Software Engineer

3 / 5

"I studied English for years but always froze when speaking.

Mariya found the problem and fixed my pronunciation fast.

After two months I enjoyed talking with native speakers.

I finally feel at the level I always knew I was capable of."

Elena Rossi

Architect

2 / 5

"I needed English specifically for work presentations in London.

Mariya built every lesson around my job and vocabulary.

Three months later I led a full client meeting in English.

The result was completely beyond what I expected."

Marcus Webb

Senior Consultant

1 / 5

"I had been stuck at B1 for two years and nothing worked.

Mariya figured out exactly why in the very first lesson.

Every session is a real conversation, not a grammar drill.

My speaking finally feels natural and confident.

I wish I had found her two years sooner."

No commitment. Just one conversation to see if we're a good fit.

Language Apps

How much does it cost and how do I pay?

Pricing depends on the format — individual lessons, group sessions, or a recorded course. You can find all the details on the services page. Payment is simple and can be made online before the first session.

Do I need any English at all to start?

Not at all. I work with complete beginners as well as those who already have a base but feel stuck. We start exactly where you are.

How do lessons actually work?

We meet online via video call. Each lesson is structured but flexible — we cover what you need, practice speaking, and you leave with materials and a clear next step. No boring textbook drills.

How fast will I see results?

It depends on your goal and how often we meet. Most students feel a noticeable difference in confidence after 4 to 6 weeks of regular lessons. We track progress together so you always know where you stand.

Can I learn English if I have a very busy schedule?

Yes, that's exactly who I work with most. We find a frequency and format that fits your life, not the other way around. Even one focused lesson per week gives real progress over time.

What if I studied English before but forgot everything?

This is actually one of the most common situations. The language is still there, it just needs to be unlocked. We move faster than starting from zero because your brain already has a foundation.

Spaces are limited,
the choice is yours

I work with a limited number of students at a time to give each one full attention and real results.
