• IELTS Speaking & Writing, Business English, Advanced English, interview and presentation coaching
• Every student starts with a diagnostic assessment so we identify exactly what is limiting progress
• I focus on the 2-4 weaknesses that will make the biggest difference to your result
• IELTS lessons use realistic test conditions and IELTS band-descriptor-based feedback
• Detailed correction of fluency, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, coherence and idea development
• High student speaking time: you practise, answer and solve problems while I diagnose, question and coach
• No wasting lessons on long explanations you could read yourself
• Speaking answers are developed through follow-up questions, reformulation and repeated practice
• Writing work includes structure, argument development, vocabulary, grammar, coherence and detailed correction
• Business English uses situations you genuinely face: meetings, presentations, interviews, negotiations and professional communication
• Advanced English focuses on precision, natural vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation and communicating complex ideas clearly
• Interview coaching includes realistic questions, follow-ups, answer improvement and live feedback
• Presentation coaching covers structure, delivery, clarity, vocabulary, confidence and handling questions
• Recurring mistakes are tracked rather than corrected once and forgotten
• Important vocabulary and structures are recycled until you can use them naturally
• Lessons are adapted continuously according to your progress
• Homework and targeted practice can be provided between lessons
• Every lesson finishes with clear feedback and specific next steps
• Suitable for ambitious teenagers, university students, IELTS candidates, professionals, executives, teachers and advanced learners
• My goal is measurable improvement, not simply filling 60 minutes with conversation

Stass helped me with English before and what i liked was that he didnt just say 'this is wrong'. He explained why, gave examples, then made me try it again and we had fun since he is app-savvy and has his own systems built for fun and effective. Bit demanding sometimes, but in a good way. you can tell he actually cares if you improve and not only finish the lesson
i know Stass from quite a long time now and he is one of those people who really explains things until you get it haha. Sometimes maybe too detailed honestly, but thats useful with english because he notices small mistakes other people just ignore. very serious about teaching, but not stiff or boring. Would recommend
