What the trial lesson covers
We cover four things in 15 minutes — so you leave with a concrete plan rather than a general impression.
Assess your level
A short spoken conversation and a few grammar tasks to place your real level on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
Talk through your goals
Work, relocation, an exam, travel or simply speaking freely — your goal decides what we study and in what order.
Start speaking straight away
You will speak English in the very first lesson. It is the fastest way to find out whether my teaching style works for you.
Build your study plan
You finish the lesson with an honest assessment of your level and a clear plan: what to work on first, and how long it should take.

How to prepare
No special preparation is needed. Three things are enough.
Check your setup
Headphones with a microphone and a stable connection. A camera helps but is not required.
Think about your goal
Have a sense of why you want English. Even a rough answer lets us build the lesson around what you actually need.
Do not revise for it
This is not a test. Mistakes in a trial lesson are normal and genuinely useful — they show me what to work on.

Common questions
Is the trial lesson really free?
Completely. No payment is needed before or after the lesson, and you are under no obligation to continue.
What if I cannot speak English at all?
That is fine — many of my students start at A1. In the trial lesson we speak both Russian and English, as much of each as you are comfortable with.
Can I reschedule?
Of course. Just let me know in advance and we will find another time.
