Miss Tati
The Founder of The Speaking Companion Lab
"I believe language isn't meant for doing grammar drills, memorizing vocabulary lists, or translating texts.
Language truly comes alive when we use it to connect: to share stories, express ideas, and be heard. That is exactly why I founded The Speaking Companion Lab – a space where English stops being a school subject and becomes a real tool for communication.
English shouldn’t be the ultimate goal. Its true value lies in opening doors to people, ideas, and the world."

Testimonials
I have learned much from you and it is very helpful to me. First, I have got enough confidence in speaking in English from your class and it took me a long time to gain this confidence. Now, I always express my ideas in English as much possible as I can. It's great to do that. Then I find learning English is not a boring thing as before and I'm interested in studying English which was just a necessary task to pass examinations. Reading, listening or speaking all become interesting and I really enjoy it.
Our English class is different from the traditional English model I had before. I think this is very useful for me, it will stimulate my interest in English, let me not fear it! Every class design is very careful and interesting, can let me feel and learn through various ways. This is an AHA MOMENT for me :)
Although it is difficult in many cases, it is because we are making progress. What we learned from Chinese teachers about writing, reading and speaking is mostly Chinese education which is somewhat different from what you taught us. I think this is very important and helpful for all of us! Finally, thank you for your patience.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Tatiana Alexandrovna! We studied English from February to November 2024. The classes were organised according to my interests and needs and were really enjoyable!
Tatiana Alexandrovna took into account my strengths and helped to work out my weaknesses.
Thanks to Tatiana Alexandrovna, I managed to improve my English skills and expand my vocabulary.

I started studying with Tatyana Aleksandrovna at about A2–B1 level. I could understand English, but I had problems speaking and I didn’t feel confident.
We have been studying together for 4 years now. She also helped me prepare for the OGE and the EGE exams and we are still continuing our lessons.
What I like most is her way of teaching. She is very attentive and always takes into account my interests. The lessons are interesting and the topics are useful for real communication. She explains everything clearly and in a simple way.
The atmosphere in the lessons is calm and friendly. I don’t feel stress or fear of making mistakes, so it’s easier to speak English.
Now I feel more confident. I can speak more freely, build sentences faster and I don’t feel insecure anymore when I speak English.
