I wanted to improve speaking, increase my vocabulary and fix some grammar issues. I needed this for my job, as I worked at a big International IT company. And I made big progress.

I felt at ease in classes and it was always very interesting. The teacher always focused on what was important to me and, if necessary, without any problems repeated and did additional exercises on the topics that I needed to work on.

Depending on your field and the extent to which your work relies on English, our target for you is typically to reach the B2 to C1 proficiency level. At this stage, you will have the confidence and skills necessary to tackle any challenges you may encounter in your professional environment.
Following international guidelines, it typically takes around 150 hours of guided study to advance to the next language proficiency level. Therefore, you can expect to spend approximately 6-12 months reaching this comfort zone, depending on factors such as the frequency of your classes and your starting proficiency level.
We understand that as a working professional, finding time for self-improvement can be challenging. However, we want to assure you that we are here to accommodate your schedule. We offer flexibility in structuring your classes to fit your availability and learning pace. Your success is our priority, and we are committed to finding the right approach that works best for you.
I’ve been studying for over a year, twice a week. When I first started, many words had already "flown out" of my memory, I could feel the break in learning. Now everything is refreshed and I feel confident in speaking and writing. I'm in a great mood during and after the lesson.
