I have worked as an editor in a publishing house. I have been translating and editing for over 20 years. I worked as a journalist covering energy industry.

I studied English language and literature. During that time, I held some "conversational English" classes online. I helped several people improve their "conversational English". For some people who know the rules of English, know grammar and have a solid vocabulary, one thing is missing and that is practice and practical use of language. Of course, they can have friends online and talk with them, but those friends sometimes don't have time and patience to talk for an hour about different topics. Also, those friends are not professional tutors who can guide the dialogue and make the real use of it.
