Besides the fact that I am a native English speaker, I have two degrees from accredited higher education institutions in the United States. To top things off, I have a teaching certificate from Cambridge. But you can have all the qualifications in the world and not know how to keep a student engaged. I know how to keep my students highly engaged and motivated. Students look forward to their lessons with me—they know they’ll get results.

Business English? I’ve helped numerous managers and executives improve their skills. In fact, some of them have negotiated multimillion-dollar contracts with European companies thanks to my services. I have many years of international business experience. I’ve worked in the corporate sector and I’ve even run a couple companies of my own. I’ve developed entire English training programs while working at a business school. Not only that, but I am a professor of business English at the Moscow State University of Education.

Practical English? I’ve helped students prepare for their life in the United States. One of my students is so proficient that he is outscoring his classmates on English tests. He went over there, and he immediately started working with the other children his age. How’s that possible? Well, I know the American English Language Arts Common Core Standards. So, if a parent asks me, «Could you prepare our boy for elementary school in the United States?» I can answer, «You bet!»

Is your professor confusing you with his assignment? I got you! My academic English programs are world-class. I’ve worked with students who were studying in Oxford University, helping them with their philosophy papers. I’ve worked with students from Germany, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, England, and Russia. My programs are custom-built with each student in mind. My meticulously crafted students' needs assessment profile ensures that I have a plan for YOUR education from day 1.

Want to study in a world-class university? Good for you. Many of my students are now attending great universities in Canada, the EU, China, the UK, and the United States. Test prep is something that I do with a high level of precision. My last IELTS prep student went from a 6.5 to an 8.0 in 12 weeks. «It is overwhelming, I didn’t think I can get THIS… I am so grateful for our lessons,» she said. Another one said, «Ilya helped us get into a great university abroad. Thank you!»

Why do clients study with me? Because I care about every single one of them, and I want to turn their dreams into a reality. This is why I even became an educator.
