HI, I'M VLAD
I’ve lived and breathed English for the past 15+ years. For that matter, my ultimate goal as a teacher is to make sure this everlasting infatuation rubs off on my students. After all, letting the language sweep you off your feet is the cornerstone of mastery.

Having experienced all manner of tortures on my way to proficiency, I make sure my classes are, first and foremost, a safe space where mistakes and rough edges are embraced and celebrated. Language learning can be a long journey — might as well make it fun!

First of all, thank you, Vlad, for creating such a warm, transparent, and safe space for us. I truly enjoyed every class, they were engaging, helpful, and very well structured. Vlad always has an incredible amount of new phrases and words “in his pocket,” which helped me a lot in my everyday life. After each session, I left not only with a bunch of new words and ideas, but also with a positive mood and a constant desire to learn more.

These classes have totally changed the game for me. Having a teacher who’s not just super supportive but actually inspires you makes learning so much easier. I love the vibe — no stress, just steady progress.
Vlad guides you in the right direction, helps you sound more natural, and shows how things really work in everyday speech.
It just feels so comfy to be there — no pressure, no awkwardness, even if your language isn’t perfect yet. It actually makes you want to keep learning.

Vlad is an amazing teacher 🫶🏼 funny, good-looking, and super knowledgeable 🧠 He always has an extra list of words up his sleeve, like a sweet little bonus at the end of each lesson 🤩 
I’m over the moon that I found this course ♥️

It’s actually my second time taking this course. I’ve been learning new words for about eight months now, and honestly, I believe this endless list will come to an end one day 😄 Until then, I’ll keep going with the course 😝

Every day, in books, podcasts, and TV shows, I come across words I’ve already learned here and it feels so satisfying!
 Moreover my speaking skills getting stronger, thanks to all the inspiring participants! 😍 After every single lesson, I end up with a great list of vocabulary that other students used in class.
