Lana K.
A university degree in teaching English, 20+ years of experience. From basics to fluency.
About me
I’ve been teaching English for over 20 years, in Moscow, Minsk and now online from Portugal. For the last ten years I’ve specialised in Business and General English for people in the IT industry: developers, managers and teams who need English for meetings, calls, emails and presentations. My approach is genuinely personal. I listen, I hear and I adapt, so you get the attention you need to make real progress. I hold a C2 level of English (IELTS 8.5), a degree in teaching English, and an International House teaching certificate. All my current students came to me through recommendations, which I think says more than any description could.
About my lessons
Engaging classes where you can ask questions, make mistakes and - most importantly - speak. Every course starts with your goals. Together we’ll work out what you need: preparing for an interview, running a stand-up, writing clearer emails, or simply feeling at ease in conversation. I create my own materials to fit you, so you won’t be working through a textbook that wasn’t written for you. I teach all levels, from Elementary to Advanced, and also prepare students for the IELTS exam.

I loved learning English with Lana! She’s a great teacher! 😊
The Trial session went really well. I felt comfortable with Lana's approach which focused on my goals and expectations. After the session Lana outlined and shared a personal learning path with clear milestones.
