Alina Lichman

Hi, I’m Alina
I teach the way I learned, prioritizing curiosity, joy, and details. Years of collecting juicy phrases and intricate words showed me that advanced speaking is not just about dropping cool vocabulary. It all boils down to knowing how and when to use specific words, and how to become one with the language.

One of my teaching goals is to help students experience what it’s like to truly use their language naturally. I want them to boost their confidence, discover their speaking style and define the tone that feels right for them.

I’m happy to be the kind of guide who's there as students navigate English in a friendly, welcoming space for joyful chats and deep, meaningful conversations.

I just had a second fluency lesson in a group with Alina and it’s my voluntary review where I wanna say how I enjoyed these group lessons!
I think Alina is very thoughtful and nice and makes people feel included :) the guys in the group are also very pleasant and things we learn seem very relevant. I am very delighted (I chose this word on purpose) with this product !! Thank you so much for making it happen🙌❤️

The course is really top-notch. Alina the tutor is super approachable and makes everyone feel at ease. The classes provide lots of opportunities to speak and memorising vocabulary occurs naturally. No boring drills, just natural chats and super helpful corrections on the spot. Homework is pretty feasible and engaging. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to improve their fluency.

I've been having classes with Alina for a few months now, and I can definitely see the progress. I really appreciate the vibe during the lessons - there's no pressure or awkwardness at all, and all the students are super friendly. I'm genuinely impressed by the teacher's level of expertise, and my goal is to reach that same level.
I really value the feedback and the emerging vocabulary we get after each lesson. There's so much to learn, and it's the teacher’s qualifications and the up-to-date materials that set these classes apart from others on the market. If you're on the fence about taking classes, my advice would be to give it a try!
