Hi, I am Ksusha
My goal as an accent coach is to help you sound confident and natural — without overacting or losing your voice.
I guide with clarity and care: no sugarcoating, just real progress built on honest feedback and gentle support.

With a background in English and Chinese, plus phonetics training and time living in China, I found my passion for pronunciation — and how powerful it can be.

I tune in to subtle details, share real native examples, and help you build a voice that feels true to you. Whether you teach, perform, or simply want to speak beautifully, you’re in the right place.

What Our Students Say
Inna Mikhaylova
Honestly, I really like our classes. I’m so picky and I become boring fast, but Toma is perfect 🤩. Here I am trying to get used to working all together. For me it’s a little hard to finish all the homework, some of the tasks I can't even finish, but at the same time I would  like to know how to do it correctly, even if I failed. I like that I learn new words every week and hear them often ( either  reels, or from people). It makes me so proud , happy, and at the same time makes me upset that I never knew those words… And special thanks to Toma with her attitude, kindness and her high level of language.  One of the reasons I’m still here is you.

First and foremost, I need to say a huge thank you🙏 for the atmosphere you create in our classes👍; two hours fly by🔜. I'm a big fan of the vocabulary warm-up💡 you give at the beginning of each class, as well as I have turned into an eager beaver who waits for your post-lesson notes on common mistakes⚠️. It's incredibly helpful to me🤩.
I love the way you skillfully👂 and respectfully bring students who have gotten carried away🚶‍➡️ back to the topic or to the issue at hand if the conversation has switched gears🚧.
I'm astonished🔥, to say the least, that after each lesson I always notice the words we have learned in class😊. Each glossary is well thought out; the words are cherry-picked🔎, and I'm definitely reaping the benefits of learning☀️.
At the end of the day, I do not see anything that could be improved👍; you do your job beyond all expectations💎, and the material does not require any changes✅.
You are the best and worth your salt🔥🔥🔥

Hi Toma! Actually I loved everything about our class. I find the tasks pretty helpful and amusing. I think we got along with all the girls. I am obsessed with your English level and the accent. On the top of that the homework is not boring. We started off well, I assume.
