Hi! My name is Katya, and I am the founder of Open Space, an online English language school.
I never imagined that English would become such a big part of my life that one day I would open my own school. It all started with ordinary lessons at school and endless notes during my university years. But real English revealed itself to me when it stopped being just a subject, when I started using it at work, while traveling, and in real conversations. Mistakes, new acquaintances, unexpected discoveries - since then, English has become a part of my life.
Over the years, I have gone from being a school teacher to working with international organizations as a translator and coordinator. This experience taught me not only the nuances of the language but also how important it is to understand people and their culture. All of this became the foundation of my teaching approach - practical, lively, and as close to real life as possible.
I have always believed that English isn’t about perfect rules; it’s about freedom. It broadens horizons, opens new opportunities, and brings the world closer. That’s why at Open Space, we teach English in a way that helps you use it in real life: through emotions, dialogues, context, and, most importantly, by enjoying the process.
For me, it’s important that learning isn’t just a “checkmark” on a to-do list. I want students to feel progress, believe in themselves, and see how English gradually becomes part of their lives.
Our school employs teachers who share this approach. We don’t just teach English - we help students use it confidently in real-life situations. We create a space where there is choice, support, and inspiration, where everyone can find their own pace and style.
If the idea of learning English easily, consciously, and with pleasure resonates with you - welcome to Open Space!

I started lessons with Katya while on maternity leave, with almost no knowledge of English. School English had passed me by, and I was always ashamed that I still hadn’t learned it. Starting was scary, but after just a couple of lessons, I felt that I could do it.
Katya knows how not just to teach, but to engage. The lessons feel like a conversation with a smart friend, and at the same time...

When I started learning English, I only had my school background - and that was dusty. Starting was difficult: little time, fears, and the feeling that it was "too late."
But from the first month of lessons with Katya, it became clear - it works. The lessons were not just from a textbook...

Throughout my life, I studied English many times, but as soon as I stopped, I always fell back to a very basic level and even forgot the basics.

What’s especially important is that the lessons were always interesting and engaging - materials and formats were selected so that studying never became a routine. This approach helped me not only learn the language but also feel confident in an English-speaking environment.
Now English is not just a certificate for me, but a practical tool that opens up new opportunities across various fields.
I use English in commercial roles and procurement - writing correspondence, participating in negotiations, and handling documentation with ease. I’m very glad that the teacher, who became a mentor, helped me believe in myself and taught me how to apply knowledge in practice.

Katya doesn’t just teach - she engages. The lessons feel like a conversation with a smart friend, and at the same time, you learn, remember, and start speaking. It was important for me to communicate freely while traveling, find a good job, read, and watch series. All of this became possible - and even more.
Now I don’t just know English; it has become a part of my life. And most importantly, that feeling of shame is gone.
If you’re still putting it off - just start. Small steps, with support and enjoyment. Katya makes it 100% possible.

I started learning English with Katya to further develop and improve my communication skills, which I need for work.
Katya’s approach suits me perfectly; we talk a lot about various life topics, which helps develop communication skills in different situations.
During our lessons, we reviewed many topics I had learned before but used instinctively, without fully understanding how to apply them correctly. Now I use them more consciously.
I have also significantly expanded my vocabulary, finally incorporating words and expressions I previously knew passively but never used in real life.

When I started learning English, I only had my school background - and that was dusty. Starting was difficult: little time, fears, and the feeling that it was “too late.” But from the first month of lessons with Katya, it became clear - it works.
We tailored the learning to my goals: speak fluently, understand English while traveling, communicate with clients, read, and watch content in English. The lessons weren’t just from a textbook - they were lively, rich, and fully adapted to real life.
Now English helps me in my profession, during personal trips, and in everyday life. And most importantly - I’m no longer afraid.
If you think it’s too difficult or too late - it’s not. The main thing is to start. And to find someone who will guide you through the entire journey with support, humor, and real value. For me, that was Katya.

I turned to Katya with the goal of learning to speak English fluently and use the language effectively in my professional work.
At that time, with rather limited English knowledge, I didn’t believe I could ever reach a significant level of proficiency.
Everything I did felt insufficient, and I was quite negative. With Katya, our lessons became lively, positive, and confidence-building, and my English level grew.
I was able to enroll in a university program taught in English and pass several official exams. I would also like to note that over time, Katya became a friend, and I can now comfortably share my thoughts on any topic - and most importantly, in English.

Throughout my life, I studied English many times, but as soon as I stopped, I always fell back to a very basic level and even forgot the basics.
I came to Katya on friends’ recommendation and didn’t really expect much this time. Now I can handle calls with foreign clients comfortably - not at a native level, but I can communicate freely and, most importantly, I’m not afraid to speak.
Katya’s comprehensive approach gave me far more knowledge than a whole bunch of lessons at different schools.
