Conversationalist:
Online conversation classes for adults
Learn how to start and maintain a conversation in English
If you are scared of speaking English or you simply do not have enough speaking practice, I will become your conversation companion.
But not just companion.
I will also provide you with language feedback:
vocabulary suggestions, grammar explanations, things you do right, and everything else you need to improve your skills just by speaking.
What my happy students say:
These private English lessons will help you:
Will these classes be a good fit for you?
These classes are a good fit for you:
- if you read or write a lot of English but lack speaking practice
- if you keep learning words and grammar, but are still afraid to speak English
- if you know “smart” words, but don’t get a chance to use them in conversations about everyday life
- if you want to resume learning English after a break
- if you don’t want to use textbooks for learning
- if you would like to develop the habit of studying consistently
- if you are an extrovert and like to talk
- if you have no more than 15 minutes a week to revise your notes from previous class
- if you struggle to keep the conversation going because you don’t know what to talk about
These classes are not for you:
- if you want a structured study plan
- if you are an introvert and feel uncomfortable talking about yourself
- if you expect to read and analyze texts or videos
- if you need classes aimed to prepare you for an international language exam, or want to succeed at a job interview etc

During the lesson, I will suggest the right phrase or word that you can’t remember or don’t know in English.
I will show you the most useful resources for learning English and teach you how to use them.
What happens if I forget a word in English?
I always listen to you carefully and am ready to help: I can give you an appropriate word or ask you to explain what you mean to say and suggest a word, phrase that’s good for this context.
If you lose the thread of the conversation, I will remind you of what you just said and/or clarify what you meant.
I am not very good with technology, gadgets, computers. Will I be able to set everything up for my classes?
At your request, I will send you instructions with screenshots on how to check your internet speed and whether it is suitable for online lessons, where and how to install the 2 programs in the lesson.
If you are able to follow the instructions and have a sufficiently fast internet connection, we can start the lessons.
