Experienced teachers + methodology = guaranteed results from classes
Our teachers structure each lesson logically to lead you to a specific outcome that will stay with you for a long time. Every session, students leave with new knowledge that can be used here and now.
Language learning from all angles and lots of speaking practice

We form groups based on level and even temperament
Having the same English level is crucial for effective and comfortable classes (not boring or too difficult). Standardized tests can’t fully assess your language knowledge, we need to hear you speak. That’s why our first step is a Zoom call to test and determine your English level. After the call, we will assign you to a group where you will dive into studying and will be able to see the results.
What will help you achieve your desired progress
Lessons are based on the best modern textbook Outcomes, with tasks that develop all skills in a balanced manner: Speaking, Listening, Grammar, Reading, Writing (our main focus is on Speaking). The material is integrated into a curriculum with regular vocabulary revision.
How it works
And if you have any organizational questions or difficulties, you can always write to our administrator Xenia, she will be happy to help with everything.
It's nice to have a real person talking to you, not a bot.
Twice a week for 90 minutes, online on Zoom – you will only need a quiet corner and good internet.
Groups of up to 8 people — this is the optimal number of students to have fun and dynamic classes, while getting feedback from the teacher and enough talking time.
Each lesson focuses on different skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing - there is both theory and practice in pairs.
During the lesson, the teacher shares the screen and you see the exercises prepared in advance. No confusion, everything is clear and right in front of you.
After each lesson, you’ll get a simple homework assignment (taking 15 to 30 minutes).
Telegram Chat with the teacher and group for homework and additional materials allows you to have everything at hand.
Semester-based course: 1 semester consists of 30 lessons. During this time, the group covers 3 units of the textbook: 3 major lexical topics, 2 grammar topics based on the unit topic. This creates a constant recycling of vocabulary, which helps with revision and retention.
As a result, our students change their lifestyle and quality of life

What our students say
Natalie
First of all, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity of joining the Speaking Club as a part of our Group lessons. Thanks a lot, I mean it.
1) Free of charge.
2) Lots of useful vocabulary for the topics.
3) New people, new accents, new ideas - that's absolutely exciting.
4) Great teacher.
5) Sometimes you need to be more concentrated to make out what the teacher says, as his pronunciation is perfect, i guess, but need to be got used to. That necessity of making effort is amazing, too
Irina
I'm a fan of Rachel. She gives us comprehensive information on the topic and language we studying, equally pays attention to each aspect - reading, writing, speaking activities. And also, it's just a pleasure to be a part of our class, I think, together we work more effectively
Maria
I thoroughly enjoyed the “Full English course” from the first minute. The group, the atmosphere, and the approach, indeed. It overcomes my expectations and keeps doing it every season.

English happened in my life when I was a child. Thanks to my teachers, I love it with all my heart since then, but I’ve been learning it and used it more often occasionally. I can read, write, watch, and listen in English, but I have difficulties in speaking about general things and using good vocabulary. That makes things “very interesting” and “very beautiful” instead of “exciting” and “stunning”. Moreover, now due to professional and personal needs, I have to freely discuss various topics from serving a dressing separately from a salad to an architecture of quantum computers with no time for being prepared and refresh your skills. So when I saw the announcement of the course, I immediately decided to join.

It turned out that English is perfect for online. I don’t feel any particular inconvenience comparing with offline lessons. All you need is Internet access, a camera, and a quiet corner.

Group lessons are also great. It is far more interesting to discuss materials in a group than individually. We all have different experiences, points of view, and skills. It helps to complement, support, and encourage each other. If you have some specific goals in learning English, Lena is always happy to bombard you with optional tasks without any pressure. She is patient till infinity. No matter how many times you’ve asked about something. Her explanations are incredibly accurate. I believe she can even explain the theory of relativity in English using an online document and pencil for any English learner at any level!

The selection of materials, textbooks, and homework is worth noting too. They are relevant, with no boring issues and outdated stuff. I love the details Lena gives us about words, their pronunciation, and usage. You immediately feel the difference and use it in your speech right away.

All of that gives a genuine sense of achievement after every lesson. The more you practice, the bigger it is. But you always have it despite the circumstances such as you’re not prepared, or it’s morning and all your thoughts are about a cup… no! about a bucket of coffee. That is true for groups at 08:30 am!

Many thanks to Lena and my group. It’s a great pleasure to discover English with you!
Ilya

Pauline, you're an amazing teacher and this was a great experience for me. 😊

Because of you, I've definitely improved my language skills during this course. Your feedback was always high quality and valuable. Your comments really helped me to understand things better. Thank you for your support.

Irina
Our classes are great. There are a lot of new vocabulary and just interesting information each lesson.

Sometimes our debates are so heated that it's just not enough time to discuss all things and to do all activities, but I think, we all benefit from our communication. I'm fully satisfied with the class
Alexandr
Rachel is the best English teacher I have ever met. Very useful lessons with a good pace and great atmosphere.
Schedule
How to join
Take a self-assessment test to determine your level here
Sign up for a Placement test
The teacher will contact you to schedule a call
After the call, they will recommend a group for you. You will receive a payment link and will be enrolled in the group!
What is a Placement test
This is a 15-20 minute online call, where you and a teacher will have a nice conversation to determine your English level and understand which group will be a good fit for you. The placement test is run by the teacher of the group you have chosen. The teachers know their groups, can assess the level of all students, and answer any questions about the classes.

Important: this is not a sales manager pushing you to buy the course. It is a great opportunity for you to meet the teacher, understand your real speaking level, and be offered a suitable group after the test. You can also ask the teacher any questions about materials, textbooks, classes, or the group.
The key to successful learning is to have students of the same level. That's why we take this seriously and run placement tests before assigning you to a group.
You can take the test via the link. It only evaluates grammar and vocabulary, not speaking. That’s why a conversation with the teacher helps determine an accurate result.
