Organic Growth Manager

I write about English speaking, fluency, and pronunciation at Loora, an AI-powered English learning platform. I'm not a language teacher by training, my background is in content and organic growth, but working closely with Loora's content and community means I spend a lot of time looking at where learners actually get stuck: the sounds they mix up, the phrases that trip them up in real conversations, the habits that quietly hold back fluency.

That's the angle behind everything I write here: practical, tested tips based on real patterns, not generic textbook rules. If it doesn't help someone sound more confident in an actual conversation, it doesn't make the cut.


Educational Background

Bachelor's degree from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University
