My first steps...

My journey with languages began long before formal education.

As a young linguist, I explored languages in depth for many-many years: memorizing vocabulary while learning origins of each word, studying grammar rules while exploring their roots, as well as learning hundreds of essays by heart, completing thousands of grammar exercises, watching TV shows and films, listening to podcasts, studying history, and reading books that opened doors to new cultures and ways of thinking.

At the age of 14, I began practicing teaching in my own bedroom, explaining grammar and pronunciation to an imaginary class. (It was super fun, actually!) This experience shaped my understanding that true mastery is not only about knowing a rule, but about being able to explain it clearly, simply, and in different ways for different learners.

A few years later, while studying at university, I started tutoring multiple students and discovering how much joy and meaning teaching brings me.

My education...

After exploring languages independently in my early years, I had the privilege of studying at universities around the world.

I studied Spanish Language and Culture at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

Then, I studied Business English at the University of Pennsylvania.

Thus, by the age of twenty-four, English, Spanish, and Russian had become my main and most beloved languages, the ones in which I live, think, love, and teach. I feel deep gratitude and warmth toward the people and cultures of the countries that shaped me, and I strive to learn a great deal from them and to adopt their finest qualities.

Thanks to learning seven languages and communicating with people from different continents, I realized that people everywhere share the same habits, dreams, worries, and hopes. Despite borders and distances, we are all very similar.

And also, I studied Linguistics at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Foreign Languages.

My practice...

Over the years, I've had the chance to teach students from all walks of life — lawyers, pilots, flight attendants, businesspeople, IT specialists, Olympic coaches, doctors, teachers, and my most beloved schoolchildren.

After many years of teaching, I felt ready to take a new step and share my lessons beyond the classroom. When I started posting online, I hoped that maybe 10–20 people would find my videos helpful, and that would make me super happy! But to my surprise, almost overnight the lessons reached millions of students worldwide.

Still surprised... and super grateful for all of you!

Turning point...

One of the turning points came in February 2023, when a young student from South Korea sent me a message showing her desk full of printed screenshots of my videos, letting me know that she was preparing for her university exam.

I was deeply touched by this response, and the very next day I decided to begin creating a real, audio-visual book so students could enjoy a tangible learning experience.
That decision marked the beginning of Englexs Academy.

By July 2024, the book’s content — more than 1,100 pages of visual learning materials — was ready, and I began building the website and designing my first courses. It was a path filled with inspiration, challenges, late nights, happiness, and excitement, as well as discipline and focus — and it was absolutely worth it.

Englexs Academy...

Englexs Academy is the result of all my experiences, passions, and years of teaching. It is a space where learning feels personal, inspiring, and joyful, designed to help you not just improve your English, but truly gain confidence, clarity, and freedom in communication.

This is only the start — new courses are already in development and will be released very soon, expanding into new areas of language learning and communication. You are welcome to join whenever you feel ready.

Beyond Teaching...

When I’m not teaching or creating courses, I immerse myself in art and creativity.

I love drawing, reading, dancing, traveling, visiting museums, attending masterclasses, and I deeply cherish my family.

These passions inspire me, nourish my imagination, and bring energy into everything I do — from designing courses to connecting with students. I believe creativity, exploration, and beauty are just as essential to learning as discipline and practice.

Gratitude...

I carry deep gratitude for my teachers, students, and all the kind people I have met across different countries and cultures. I am thankful to life itself for the opportunities, lessons, and paths that shaped me — an intricate journey I could never have imagined or created alone.

Above all, I am deeply grateful to my family, especially my mom (my greatest gift in life), for their love, care, and unwavering support.

I hope Englexs Academy feels like a true home for learning — a place where knowledge and kindness go hand in hand, where you always feel welcomed, inspired, and empowered to grow.

Sending you much love and best of luck! May your learning bring you new opportunities!
