Experienced English teacher with 15 years of expertise—exam prep, conversation, pronunciation, business English, and proofreading

I started taking lessons with Sergei to improve my confidence in public speaking and presentations at work, as I interact with a lot of international clients. Although my English is advanced, I’ve always felt self-conscious about my accent, so we’ve been focusing on accent reduction and developing a more neutral, natural-sounding speech.

One of the things I really appreciate about Sergei is his deep understanding of language and phonetics. He doesn’t just correct mistakes—he explains why certain sounds are challenging and how to adjust them effectively. Since he has a strong knowledge of Arabic and its phonetic differences from English, he’s been able to pinpoint specific areas where my accent needs work and explain them in a way that makes sense to me. This has made a huge difference in how quickly I’ve been able to improve.

Sergei is also friendly, easygoing, and flexible, which makes the lessons both productive and enjoyable. He adapts to what I need in each session, and his relaxed approach makes the learning process feel natural and stress-free. Thanks Sergei!

I've been working with Sergei for about eight months now, mostly in person (although recently online because of my travels) and I can honestly say he's an incredible coach. We focus a lot on accent work, elocution, and voice training, which has been incredibly helpful for my auditions. His approach is both technical and practical, making sure I not only understand how to adjust my speech but also how to use my voice effectively in different roles.

What I really appreciate about Sergei is his attention to detail: he picks up on the smallest nuances in pronunciation and delivery and helps me refine them in a way that feels natural rather than forced. His exercises are targeted and actually work, improving clarity, resonance, and expressiveness over time.

Beyond the technical skills, Sergei is also a great mentor—he’s patient, encouraging, and really understands the challenges actors face when it comes to voice and speech. Highly recommend!

Sergei is an exceptional acting coach who brings patience, insight, and a deep understanding of character work to every session. His guidance was invaluable when I was preparing for drama school auditions, and thanks to his coaching, I was able to get accepted. Beyond that, he has also helped me refine my pronunciation and accents, making my performances more authentic and versatile. His ability to break down complex techniques and tailor his teaching to individual needs makes him an outstanding mentor. I highly recommend Sergei to anyone looking to develop their acting skills!

Sergei is a brilliant and talented tutor. I've been taking acting classes with him for over a year now and I feel like my skills have improved significantly.
His classes are fun, engaging and meaningful. Each lesson is tailored to my goals.
Definitely recommend!
