x10 Your IELTS Speaking Performance! Band 8-9 is possible!!!

Looking to improve your communication skills for work, business, and life? Look no further than my Instagram account, speakenglishwithanatoly, where you can get to know me better and see my proven track record of success.

As a communication consultant with over 7 years of experience working with professionals from junior management to top CEOs of tech companies like Huawei, Samsung, and Apple, I understand the challenges you face, such as feeling nervous, stuck, or constantly thinking about grammar. That's why my classes focus on building both soft skills, like confidence and clarity about your strengths, and hard skills, like spoken English proficiency.

What sets my classes apart is the unique combination of coaching and training that helps you become a successful communicator. By addressing the problems in your mind and boosting your confidence and sense of self, you'll see significant progress in your spoken English development.

There are number of benefits of using psychological training:

The benefit of psychology in spoken English development lies in its ability to address the underlying mental and emotional barriers that may hinder a person's ability to communicate effectively.

By working on confidence, self-esteem, and mindset, individuals can overcome anxiety, fear, and self-doubt, which can greatly improve their communication skills. This approach can also help individuals develop better interpersonal skills, such as active listening and empathy, which are essential for effective communication. 

In short, incorporating psychology into spoken English development can lead to more confident, clear, and authentic communication.

Don't waste years searching for English development without addressing the root cause of your struggles. Let me help you grow in various ways and achieve your confidence goals quickly. Send me a class request for a private consultation today.

x10 Your Confidence in Spoken English & Communication Skills!!!

Neuro-linguistic programming is an approach to communication and personal development that analyzes the behavior of successful people.
In business, neuro-linguistic programming can be used to strengthen leadership and presentation skills. It can also be used to increase emotional intelligence, which has important implications for sales negotiation and staff communication.
Modeling, action, and communication are core components of neuro-linguistic programming.

I successfully recruited 120 English teachers for a Chinese conglomerate on a freelance basis from 2018 to 2021. Through personal interviews and hosting Skype conferences, I gained valuable insights into the industry and what makes a top performer. My success is attributed to strong communication, networking, negotiation skills, and a strategic recruitment approach. The entire activity was aside my full time teaching, making me super  time organized and strategic for a number of years.

As a career coach for corporate China, I was cultivating empathy and active listening as they were the major components to be able to assist my clients. Moreover, goal setting and putting plans into action was another point I taught them about. By doing so, I wanted to raise their self-confidence, thus efficiency at work. Last but not least - job interview preparation was the main module of our meetings. Helping them be fully ready was the main component that made all the difference.

A good restaurant manager knows how to run a business smoothly and treat customers with respect and understanding. They should also be patient, stay calm under pressure, possess outstanding customer service skills, have excellent planning skills, and understand effective marketing strategies. Since I was the floor manager these skills were taught to me by my management board as I kept being promoted. However, I chose not to go to higher management path and I changed a)countries b) careers.

Helping corporate employees of Asia from mid-management to CEO level to communicate confidently in business presentations, communications to clients, and building confidence was the major scope of my work. Teaching 1-1 and group classes with up to 6 students. As a result, students become confident speakers and can communicate their ideas effortlessly in various business settings. I managed to teach nearly 2 thousand 45 minute classes

Meeting various corporate managers of China's top firms like Huawei, Alibaba, We Chat and others - the goal was to help them organize their thoughts in English for business trips, communication with boards of directors, prepared for presentations in English both online and offline. I was deeply involved in career-coaching to foster more promotions as I was an extremely relevant case myself ( the best employee of the year in 2 global firms). Managed to do nearly 13 thousand classes.

A corporate trainer needs a range of skills and these include good:

Communication skills
Time management skills
Organizations skills
Coaching skills
Basic understanding of pedagogy
Feedback skills
Research and design skills
Subject matter expertise or knowledge

It's great to work with clients from different fields. I can a) help them succeed better b)improve my professionalism along the way. This is what I continuously do for the past 8 years - helping people thrive using Anatoly's Process.

With a passion for nurturing young minds, I bring fun and engaging lessons to my students. My experience teaching 3-6 year-olds sharpened my creative skills and showed me the magic of tailoring activities to each child's unique interests. Now on Italki, I incorporate that same spirit of joy and discovery into every lesson. My goal isn't just to teach English, but to help my students unlock their potential.

With a natural talent for engaging young minds, I spent years crafting enriching lesson plans that brought preschool subjects to life. As a teacher of 3-4 year olds, I integrated hands-on learning into every area from writing and math to science and language. My classroom came alive through activities tailored to pique each child's interest. I have a gift for making learning fun and memorable while still covering core skills that set students up for future achievement.

After leading over 3,000 online English lessons for children in China, I have honed my virtual teaching talents. My experience instructing learners aged 3 to 16 during fast-paced, 30-minute classes has equipped me with skills to build vocabulary for beginning students and develop an effective online teaching style. Now I'm ready to help my Italki students improve their English in our short time together. My background shows I know how to teach online and tailor lessons to help each student.

A seasoned chef with 9 years of experience, I've crafted creative menus using cuisines from around the world to accommodate every dietary need. My passion for food brings Googlers and chefs together through memorable dining experiences. With a talent for fusing global flavors and nutrition, I continue to push culinary boundaries.

A globe-trotting educator with a passion for inspiring others. With over 6 years of experience crafting fun, hands-on learning materials for children and adults alike, I bring energy and engagement to every lesson. From cultural exchanges across continents to making English come alive in the classroom, I use my own adventures to spark curiosity in my students. An advocate for learning through experience, my creative teaching style helps unlock the joy of discovery.

With a passion for nurturing young minds, I spent over 2 years as a preschool teacher for 3-4 year olds. My classroom was filled with joyful laughter and curiosity as I designed engaging, hands-on activities tailored to my students' unique interests. Whether exploring science through sensory bins, strengthening fine motor skills through art projects, or sparking imaginations through dramatic play, I strived to instill a lifelong love of learning in each and every child.

With a passion for educating the next generation, I have worked with children of all ages and levels from China online. As a dedicated online teacher, I have helped students from diverse backgrounds improve their skills and knowledge. My adaptability in tailoring lessons to each child's needs has enabled countless young minds to thrive. It's rewarding to spark curiosity and foster meaningful connections with students across the world.

With a passion for learning, I've spent the last 6 years crafting fun and engaging educational material that keeps students of all ages enthralled. Having taught over 5,000 classes, I've honed my skills to provide customized lessons for preschoolers, college test prep, interview coaching, and everything in between. My experience and adaptability allow me to connect with each student at their level, ensuring they walk away not just smarter but excited about gaining new skills and knowledge.

Practical Grammar Lessons

One of the most effective ways to improve understanding of a language is to practice speaking it. In my conversation classes you can do exactly that. 

I always aim to have a relaxed atmosphere in conversation classes, to allow you to express yourself freely. At the same time I will correct the mistakes you make. 

What will we talk about?! It's up to you! If you prefer, I can send articles/audio files before a class that can be the basis for conversations, or you can choose a topic that you would like to discuss. 

 In conversation classes we can work to improve your vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and confidence to have conversations in English.

During my IELTS speaking classes, I show students exactly what they need to do to achieve their target score.

I usually start with a mock exam to assess your strengths and weaknesses and current score, before developing a personalized plan that will help you achieve your desired score. I typically help students with their exam technique, as well as with their technical skills, including fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. My approach has been successful with over 1,500 students to date, with many surpassing 6.5 in IELTS speaking.

In my IELTS writing classes, my aim is to assist students in achieving a high score in their writing exam. I will carefully review your writing during the lessons and provide you with specific feedback on areas that need improvement. These areas may vary from student to student but typically involve task response, coherence and cohesion, vocabulary, and/or grammar.

If you're struggling with IELTS writing and want to improve your score, my lessons can help you to achieve your goals.

My Academic English classes are designed to help students to get into top universities around the world, as well as to improve their assignment scores during their degree.

When it comes to helping students to improve their assignments grades, I focus on helping students to significantly improve their academic writing. I generally show students how to structure an essay, how to write a literature review or how to use references properly. I’ve helped many students to dramatically improve their assignment scores from just a pass (around 50%) to a high merit or distinction (around 68 to 75%). 

I also help students to get into top universities by helping them to master their personal statements or academic interviews. I’ve helped students to get into universities like Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Kings College and Edinburgh. If you are struggling with your university applications and want to learn how to convince the admissions team to give you a place at their universities, then I would be happy to help.
