Turn Hesitation into Opportunity
Mishit knew he needed to improve his leadership communication, but he struggled to find a program that was practical rather than purely theoretical.
That’s when he found the Leadership Communication Accelerator.

The skills he acquired were immediately actionable, and through interactive exercises and personal coaching, he received instant feedback that accelerated his progress.
The result?
Mishit is now far more confident and eager to seize opportunities that he once shied away from.

-Alina Suslova | Head of Angel Investor Community
“I could speak fluently, but I used to sound robotic. By training with Tannia, my confidence and fluidity have significantly increased. I have learned to be more eloquent and to communicate more effectively when it comes to topic transitions or difficult conversations.
She has helped me to better structure complex topics in work emails and to present results concisely and effectively in meetings based on different examples. The main focus, however, has been on communication including improving leadership skills by providing me with different communication tools.
Tannia is a very authentic person and is able to provide clients powerful and versatile communication tools that can be employed in daily conversations, in negotiations or in meetings.
Recently, an American client told me that she’s really impressed with my English. It felt awesome. Thanks, Tannia, for your support!”
“I have an Aha moment seemingly every time I talk with Tannia. She really understands me as a non-native English speaker and my biggest struggle. She helps me establish my identity as an entrepreneur and I feel like I’m not alone on this journey of building up my brand.
Tannia really knows her sh*t. She did so much research and she doesn’t waste a second of your time. If anything, she makes extra time for you! I started with fear when thinking about managing my own business, but now I am much more proactive and taking control.”
“Right away I could notice a difference between Tannia and the other teachers: her PASSION.
The other teachers just follow the script that they have, almost like machines. Tannia, on the other hand, has developed her own method of teaching, combining different tools to help her students learn in a bespoke way.
Her open-minded personality and enthusiasm create a safe environment, where the student feels free to make mistakes and to ask anything they want.
I would recommend Tannia as an English teacher for anyone, but especially for advanced students. I believe many of these students have, at least once in their lives, reached a point where they feel they are not evolving anymore, they are simply stuck. Tannia is able to detect minor flaws (in my case, it was pronunciation) and help you correct them, fine-tuning your skills.
Moreover, the fact that she has lived in different countries makes the classes much more interesting, because, besides English, you can also learn about other cultures.
I would like to finish my testimonial by stating that, without any doubt, Tannia is the best English teacher that I have ever had. Just schedule a class with her and I am certain that you will no be disappointed.”
“I have no words to describe how much Tannia is a great guide for life and for my English Journey. I’m learning so many impressive professional techniques that are not only advancing my English level but also opening many doors to my career and future. So, thank you a jillion Tannia for your passion, motivation and patience.
She is the most reliable teacher I never met, because not only supports you with her positive energies, but also uses different exciting techniques helping you to become more and more confident with your English level. Plus, you will advance and sharpen it by just learning in a funny and interesting way. I find her method therapeutic because it allows me to overcome my emotional blocks speaking English as I never did.”
“I love having classes with Tannia because I know I’m gonna have fun. Tannia has made me feel more confident by always giving me support, even when it’s been a hard day and you feel a little bit overwhelmed.
During these months with Tannia my speaking has improved a lot. I’m currently more fluent and less afraid of making mistakes. Tannia is gonna make you realize that your English is good enough. Good enough to be able to talk to a native speaker for an hour, and good enough to make you proud of it.”
