About Maria
With 25 years of experience tutoring English, I have prepared more than 20 students for admission to top-20 world universities (MIT, Harvard, Oxford, Nanyang and so).
Today, I moved further and help teens build their perfect English and career paths by combining strenuous language practice with the acquisition of extra skills, utility, and fun. I believe time is far too precious in 2026 to devote 60 minutes to just language mastering, so it’s useful to comprise it with IT skills.

English
Our students (aged 10-17) master English by building real IT startups from scratch. Theory and vocabulary are immediately applied as students design their own apps and websites, ensuring every hour is spent on practical, results-driven development.
The program combines English and IT through:
• Professional Tech Literacy: Mastery of modern business and development terminology through immediate, practical application.
• Fluent Communication: Breaking the language barrier by running project meetings and managing tasks strictly in English.
• Global Mentorship: Real-world experience analyzing international tech trends under the direct guidance of MIT students and alumni.
• Tangible Portfolio: A functional mobile app or website designed in Figma and built using zero-code tools.
• Public Speaking Excellence: Intensive pitching practice to confidently present and defend finished products before an American judging panel at the MIT Blueprint competition.
Admission requires an English test. If the child's English is weak, we provide extra catch-up lessons.
