I attend lessons conducted by Alex at the company where I work. I really like that his lessons are built on constant communication about topics covering all major business areas of modern life, which is very helpful for spoken English. In his classes, you can not only learn the language but also discover a lot of new and interesting things. Alex is very tactful, gives each student proper attention, and doesn't let anyone remain uninvolved.

Interesting and very useful lessons! I've been studying English for a very long time and have worked with various teachers, but I can say with confidence that Alex is the most professional. The lessons are structured very clearly; there has never been a time when Alex didn't know what to do next or how to "kill" 10 minutes of time. It's also worth noting Alex's excellent pronunciation—perhaps even better than that of many English people. Thank you, Alex! Good luck to you!

Alex, thank you very much! You are the most incredible English teacher I ever encountered!!! Never enjoyed English lessons as much as yours. I took 3-month English course to improve English for my new job and this course was right on with important key elements relevant to many aspects in my work. It was really effective for me, discussions were fantastic, Alex gave me amazing written feedback with relevant comments and suggestions. It was my great pleasure to be your student!!!

"An exceptionally competent teacher! A truly individual approach—no fluff, no unnecessary delays, everything is to the point, our sessions were maximally effective! Before settling on lessons with Alex, finding a good teacher was difficult; I took trial lessons with two different ones, and with them, it was the usual story these days: 'Me, me, me, the best in the business,' but in practice, zero teaching skill or desire to teach. With Alex, everything became clear from the very first lesson: high level of knowledge, excellent teaching skills, he knows what will be better and more effective for you."

More reviews about Business English lessons
10/10! Instead of old textbooks about 'how to write a formal letter' or 'let's make a CV in class,' we analyzed real cases and tasks: business correspondence in Slack, online presentations on Zoom, and negotiations with foreigners on current topics. I especially remember the lesson on management and different product management strategies—it was like a workshop with an expert, but in English. We even broke down how ChatGPT can help at work and discussed its pros and cons. Overall, the course doesn't make you cram; it provides useful skills. Some might miss more grammar, but it was perfect for me—just the necessary structures without pages from Grammar in Use. If you need to improve your English specifically for work without extra theory—I recommend it.

A very convenient lesson format! I like doing grammar and vocabulary exercises on my own, and I feel that live lessons should be more 'conversational' than typical classes. In this regard, lessons with Alex are an ideal fit. There were only 3 people in the group, so everyone had enough time and attention from the teacher. I also really liked the choice of topics; I didn't even expect to be interested in discussing construction and cars. It's an excellent boost for general knowledge!

I took the course because I really liked the flexible format and I enjoy studying myself at comfortable time. The materials are top-notch, double thanks for well-structured PDF, I'm honestly a bit tired of all the games and "interactive" apps everywhere.
Moreover, Alex is a wonderful teacher and knows a lot not only about English, but many other topics (we even discussed woodworking and furniture manufacturing on one lesson).

General & Business English - C1
Since 2021, I have been the trusted partner for VeeRoute (St. Petersburg), creating bespoke Business and General English courses that meet their team's advanced skills and specific needs.
Personalized lessons
We designed and delivered a series of custom courses to elevate the business and language skills of three office managers in St. Petersburg. Within a condensed timeframe (~25 academic hours), we successfully covered key business English topics, including specialized modules in accounting and finance.
Business English B1-B2
When generic General English courses failed to engage a team of SPbPU engineers due to a lack of practical relevance, we stepped in. Together, we agreed on a custom learning program and developed targeted materials to make their language training directly applicable.
Business English A2-B1+
We delivered in-office Business English courses in mini-groups. After initial testing, we proposed splitting the employees into two level-based groups (A2 and B1) for more effective training. Over six months (~50 academic hours), we achieved a significant improvement in their overall language proficiency and business communication skills.
