Understand and be understood

Improve your understanding of spoken English from the comfort of your home!

What I can help with

I create ebooks and online courses to help adults (18+) communicate in English with ease

Listening skills

Native speakers of English speak too fast and 'eat' a lot of words. You have trouble recognising even familiar words and catching the meaning of the message. It all feels confusing all the time.

Vocabulary

You know many words in English, but native speakers use so many idioms, phrasal verbs, and set expressions that you just don't understand what they want to say.

Grammar

You studied grammar before, but it's still hard to use it in speaking. When other people use complex structures, you can't understand what they mean.

Answers to some popular questions

Can I improve my listening skills without a teacher?

Yes, totally. Listening is a receptive skill, so it's possible to improve your understanding of English independently in the comfort of your own home. You just need a high-quality step-by-step syllabus or materials with self-check options.

How can I grow my skills with books?

Our books about English listening, vocabulary, and grammar will save you a lot of time of seaching the information you can trust. They are step-by-step workbooks that teach (and TRAIN) you all the necessary skills you need to understand spoken English in your everyday life.

What English do you teach?

English is still the same language even though there are some regional and social differences in it. I've been studying different English dialects for 5 years now, and in my books and materials, you will always find the most complete info on how English is used in different parts of the world. It will help you be prepared for any kind of interaction.

Where can I get your books?

I'm in the process of publishing my first listening workbook right now. If it is something you're interested in, feel free to join the waitlist, and I will let you know as soon as the book becomes available on this site and Amazon.
