MARCUS AURELIUS · CIRCA 170 AD

Because language is
a tool for thinking.

Marcus Aurelius kept his journal in Greek — not his native Latin. Not for practice. Because another language opens up other thoughts.

You already know how to think in English.
No one has just shown you how.

IELTSAcademic

In each lesson you speak — you don't listen. At least 65% of the time it's you talking. Grammar through practice, not through rules.

You've been ready to speak English for a long time.
No one has just shown you how.

Common questions
How much does the first lesson cost?+
The first lesson is free. 30 minutes of a real lesson, not a presentation. If you don't like it, we simply don't continue.
I'm not sure about my level.+
You don't need to know your level. In the first lesson I'll figure out where you are and what's stopping you from speaking. Come as you are.
How is this different from group classes or Duolingo?+
In a group class you speak 10–15 minutes out of 60. Here — 40+. Duolingo teaches words. I teach you to speak. You feel the difference after the very first lesson.

Before

For years I read docs and scrolled Reddit in English — I understood absolutely everything, but stayed silent.

After

What school blocked for decades, Vlad sorted out in just a few lessons. B1 → B2+.

Before

Classic B1: heavy accent and a constant fear of speaking. In meetings I stayed quiet.

After

After 8 lessons I was already passing technical interviews in English. I couldn't believe it happened that fast.

Before

Meetings with foreign colleagues every day. I rehearsed every sentence in my head beforehand — and froze anyway.

After

I finally stopped preparing phrases in advance. I just speak.

Before

I came in already at C1, but I felt stuck on a plateau. On calls with the Cologne office I always lacked confidence.

After

Vlad pinpointed exactly what was holding me back. Now on those same calls I feel at home.
