Hello and welcome to my profile!
You might notice I've changed my package prices a bit. This is due to italki's new commissions.
Feel free to have a look at my timetable and book a lesson with me. Please note that weekends and evening hours (UTC +1) are usually busier than the rest of the day, so it's a good idea to book early. I do full 60 and 90-minute lessons, so if you see a couple of back-to-back lessons in the timetable (e.g. at 5 and 6 pm), I won't be able to accept your request just before or after them (e.g. at 4 or 7 pm).
Unfortunately, my previous exam preparation lessons have been offset by italki - because of their mistake you won't see I've done 592 lessons on the platform.

I’ve been studying English with Vadim for half a year now. Vadim is a very passionate teacher, extremely experienced in every aspect of language learning. He cares a lot about how to make our classes enjoyable.
I started with Conversational English but then switched to General English once I realised I could achieve more by going deeper. I have lived in the UK for more than 20 years now, spent most of the time at home bringing up my kids. I believe I am in C1 with my understanding but in B1 when it comes to using the language actively. I wanted to reduce this gap, to improve my fluency. Because of me being in an English speaking environment for quite a while now, I can sense very well if the material is commonly used (if “people speak” this way or not). And I am very impressed and very happy to have a teacher with brilliant pronunciation who gives me exactly what I hear around me. I am enjoying feeling more and more confident speaking English. Huge thanks! Great job!
