​American English Masterclass for Russian Professionals

​You know exactly what you want to say. The idea is sharp, the strategy makes sense, you could walk anyone through it in Russian without a second thought. But in English, something gets lost between your head and your mouth, and you find yourself simplifying, holding back, or staying quiet in the meeting when you had the better point.

​This course is built to close that gap.

​It's a small group of just 3 students, native Russian speakers working in the US, focused entirely on the specific pronunciation patterns and speech habits that get in the way for Russian speakers in particular. Not generic English lessons. Not grammar drills you've already outgrown. Targeted, practical work on the sounds and rhythms that shape how confident and natural you sound at work.

​Each class zeroes in on one pronunciation feature or communication skill, you'll learn the technique, practice it out loud in realistic scenarios, and get individualized feedback from an experienced American English pronunciation and communication trainer. Whether you're leading meetings, presenting, networking, interviewing, or just want to feel more like yourself in everyday conversation, you'll walk away with skills you can use the same day.
