Hi, I’m Anna
To me, fluency is about the beauty of human connection. Nuanced language lets us glimpse each other’s worlds and share the thrill of discovery. The magic unfolds when we listen with curiosity and openness, when both speaker and listener feel seen.

Working on fluency also sparks self-reinvention. Old habits – vagueness, evasion or dominating the conversation – fall away. It’s not a breeze, but the reward is a deeper, more fulfilling way of communicating.

That’s why I want every speaking session to feel like an adventure: safe enough to take risks and rich with new ways to express ourselves.

What Our Students Say
Tatyana Dyakonova
I’m really enjoying it, thanks for asking :) I do like the dynamic, you could really talk A LOT even though this is a group meeting. Anna is doing well - keeping up with different rooms and making useful comments. I feel like I probably somewhere in between B2 and C1, so the current themes/lessons dynamic are not very difficult or overwhelming for me, but at the same time I’m not bored at all.
