Hello! I have space for a few more regular students. Also available for proofreading. I’m a native speaker of English from the state of New York in the USA. I've worked as a teacher and editor/proofreader for over ten years. I've lived and worked in several countries. Most of the time was in countries where Russian is spoken (Eastern Europe and Central Asia), so I understand the Russian language and the cultures of the regions where people speak Russian. I love learning, teaching, and helping others learn and develop. As a teacher, I am optimistic, patient, understanding and try to have a good sense of humor. I also have high expectations and challenge my students to do their best. I teach students (age 12 and up) from pre-intermediate to advanced levels (A2-C2), and students who speak Russian starting from A1 level. My teaching philosophy is student-centered and focused on your goals. From the first lesson, we will focus on your goals, and we will make a plan to help you reach these goals. If you have any questions, you can send me a message. I have two types of students: regular students and irregular students. Regular students must have a minimum of one lesson a week. They can book lessons anytime, and should book lessons more than a week in the future to make sure they get the time/date they want for the next week. I also take irregular students, but these students can't request lessons more than a week in the future. "The best time to plant a tree (or learn a language) was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." Adapted proverb

University of Toronto graduate, BS. Animal lover, anime fan, and a huge nerd when it comes to games! Hello! My name is Stanislav, but everyone calls me Stan. I am a 50-year-old teacher from Bosnia, married, a father, a war veteran, and a Bachelor of Science graduate from the University of Toronto. I have been using English for well over 30 years, not only as a language, but as a tool for thinking, learning, teaching, and arguing politely — most of the time. My background is a bit unusual. I am a computer engineer by trade, I also have a welder’s license, worked as an archivist, and served in the military. Because of that, I bring real-life experience, discipline, humor, and patience into my lessons. I love cats, dogs, gaming, music, movies, anime, reading, and learning new things. As a teacher, I believe in clear explanations, critical thinking, and step-by-step progress. Students do not become fluent by magic. They improve by trying, making mistakes, asking questions, correcting those mistakes, and trying again. My job is to guide that process calmly and patiently. My students often describe me as kind, funny, patient, and easy to talk to. I enjoy interactive lessons with real conversation, useful vocabulary, honest opinions, and questions that make students think. However, I can also be structured and “old school” when needed: grammar, textbooks, exercises, correction, and repetition. My goal is simple: to help you become more confident, more precise, and more natural in English — one useful step at a time.

    I've really enjoyed working with Ellie. I first started taking lessons with her to prepare for an important presentation in English, and she helped me gain much more confidence than I expected. She is always well prepared, encouraging, and genuinely interested in the topics we discuss. I especially appreciate that she creates a relaxed atmosphere where speaking English feels natural and mistakes are simply part of the learning process. Her feedback is clear, practical, and always helpful, and her pronunciation coaching has made a real difference for me. If you're looking for an encouraging and effective English coach, I can definitely recommend Ellie.

    The best teacher ! The teacher’s teaching methods and procedures are well‑structured. She offers detailed practice approaches covering pronunciation, vocabulary and sentence‑building. She also assigns weekly homework to reinforce what we have learned. Talking with her is really pleasant. She is energetic throughout the whole lesson and gives me plenty of time to express myself. This is by far the lesson where I have spoken the most! I absolutely love it!

    I've had nearly 50 classes with Aeva over the past year, and it's been wonderful every single time. As someone at an intermediate-to-advanced level, I was looking for well-organized classes with a clear direction, and Aeva has been the absolute best teacher I've found so far. She is super flexible but always keeps the lessons professional. She gives practical advice and support to help me reach my goals, and she is just a genuinely sweet and kind person. It’s really hard to find a teacher who is the perfect fit, but if you're looking to improve or maintain your English at a high level, Aeva is hands down the best option for you!

    I booked a session to prepare for moderating an executive roundtable dinner in English, and it was far more than a language class. Ellen researched the topic in advance, helped me sharpen my ideas, and gave precise, practical feedback on pronunciation and on how I come across in the room. I left feeling genuinely ready. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for a high-stakes professional conversation or public speaking.

    Mia is a wonderful teacher for my 8-year-old son. Her lessons are well-planned and engaging. In our latest session they read Hiccups from the Oxford Reading Tree, and Andrew learned useful new words and phrases like "get rid of," "upside down" and "patting," each taught with clear examples from the story. After every lesson Mia sends detailed feedback, so I always know what he has covered and how he is progressing. Andrew enjoys her classes and is growing more confident in his reading and speaking. Highly recommended!

    I have been studying with Ed for more than three years, and finding him was a great success for me. My biggest problem was always listening. I knew grammar quite well and could speak, but understanding spoken English was difficult. Ed’s method is based mainly on real conversation. He helps you relax, stop worrying about mistakes, and simply start speaking. At some point, I was surprised to realize that we had already been talking for an hour, I understood everything, and the conversation felt completely natural. If you want to understand spoken English better and become more confident in speaking, Ed is a very professional teacher. He is also a very interesting person, and it is always enjoyable to talk with him about different topics. I do not often write reviews, but I am very happy to recommend Ed.
