Certified English Teacher • World Traveller • Cross-Cultural Communicator Hi! I'm Ksenia, a certified English teacher with over 11 years of teaching experience.

Meeting people from different cultures has helped me become a more open-minded teacher and communicate effectively with students from all over the world.

Whether you're learning English for work, travel, exams, or everyday life, I'll tailor every lesson to your goals, interests, and learning style. You can expect a relaxed atmosphere, clear explanations, plenty of speaking practice, and personalized feedback to help you build confidence and make steady progress. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your English goals!

Learn English through the best of English language literature! As teacher, my primary goal is to lend a helping hand and offer inspiration. So much of language learning is simply related to motivation and interest. These will carry students much farther than grammar books and drills. Consistency is a necessity, along with a real love for the language. I stand both as an accountability partner and a guide. I can be relaxed and conversational if you prefer to explore the English language, or I can be detail oriented and rigorous if you have a job interview, a public speech, or a thesis approaching. One of my favorite ways of engaging with my students is by teaching them how to learn (or at least—what has worked for me).

Native Spanish & English | 30+ Years Teaching | NeuroBoost Method Native Spanish & English | 30+ Years Teaching | 4.9★ (316 Reviews) | 3,000+ Lessons on italki Since 2013 I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and spent part of my childhood in New York — so both Spanish and English are truly native to me. After studying philosophy in Paris and English literature in London, I found my real calling: helping people learn languages in a way that feels natural instead of stressful. Over the past three decades I developed NeuroBoost, a method combining Sophrology (which I studied directly under its founder, Dr. Alfonso Caycedo, in Bogotá), Suggestopedia, and Superlearning. In practice, this means lessons built around relaxation and visualization techniques that help you absorb vocabulary and speak with less mental blocking. Many students tell me it's the calmest, most enjoyable language learning they've experienced — while still making real progress. I've taught on italki since 2013, with over 3,000 lesson hours, a 4.9-star rating across 316 reviews, and 100% attendance and response rates. My students come from more than 30 countries, from complete beginners to those refining fluency for work, travel, or exams. I bring real teaching structure and a distinctive method built on relaxation and deep engagement with language and culture — not one instead of the other. Try a 45-minute NeuroBoost trial lesson and feel the difference for yourself. 🚀
