Marina Kurjan

I enjoy this speaking course. Our meetings provide a friendly and safe environment where I feel comfortable expressing myself. I also appreciate the host’s politeness and kind approach. Marina is highly knowledgeable and explains things clearly, always willing to answer questions with empathy. Her energy makes the sessions engaging without being overwhelming.
The course covers a wide range of vocabulary and is well-structured yet easygoing. The topics are relevant to daily life, and the variety of tasks—from discussions and debates to role-playing—keeps things interesting and interactive.

I’ve been studying at Discover Your fluency course with Marina for four months, and I figure that this has been an incredible language-learning experience.
First of all, the structure of the lessons suits me perfectly. Our lessons are meant to transform English learning from mere studying to meaningful communication. I would describe it as a guided speaking club where you can practice the juicy vocabulary you have been provided beforehand. The course structure allows us to practice speaking in a way that feels comfortable yet challenging. I appreciate how we're constantly pushed beyond our comfort zones, which is crucial for mastery of the language.
Marina has the ability to create a fun and supportive learning environment that makes even two-hour lessons feel dynamic and engaging all along the way.
I also highly appreciate Marina's approach to teaching. She respects her students, never judges us, but is always there for us, ready to listen and provide support.
I highly recommend the course to advanced English learners. This is a challenging but rewarding experience.

It’s already been 2 months of learning English in Marina’s group and I’d like to share my opinion. From the very first class, I felt welcomed and excited to be part of the group. Marina is a very gentle and careful moderator of our conversations what makes the lessons dynamic and interactive. Additionally, she fosters a collaborative environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and asking questions. And as a fellow teacher, I can notice her techniques on eliciting answers from us, students, her various ways of defining unknown vocabulary, giving more options and providing professional feedback 👍 It makes the process of learning both enjoyable and effective. Will definitely recommend her classes for upper-intermediate and higher levels.
