Work confidently with international teams and clients. Stop using 'Runglish', master IT diplomacy, and stop freezing in meetings.
You know how to manage IT projects perfectly. But translating in your head, losing confidence in mixed-language teams, and our famous "Slavic directness" are holding your career back.
I specialize in helping Eastern European Project Managers and Team Leads. We don't waste time on general English. We focus 100% on clear communication and IT diplomacy:
A realistic 48-week curriculum (2x 90min/week) designed specifically for Russian-speaking PMs and Team Leads.
Fixing deep-rooted A2 grammar habits and mastering IT false friends.
Master business false friends (Actual vs. Current). Stop word-for-word translation and think in English structures.
Accurately report what you did yesterday vs. what is in progress. Catch contracted auxiliary verbs in fast native speech.

"I used to write a script for every Daily Stand-up. After Module 2 with Hanna, I can finally drop the notes and just speak. My imposter syndrome is gone."
"Hanna taught me how to say 'No' to clients without sounding aggressive. The module on Slavic directness completely changed my relationship with our US stakeholders."
"Referred by a friend and it was the best investment. She fixed mistakes I didn't even know I was making. The focus on real Jira tickets in class is brilliant."
