I help international professionals speak clearly and fluently under pressure, so they can contribute fully in fast-moving conversations without freezing, overthinking, or losing their authentic voice.

My coaching is grounded in Business English as a Lingua Franca (BELF) and a neurodiversity aware, structured approach that reduces cognitive load and builds real-time communication skills. Instead of teaching theory, we focus on the moments that matter most: meetings, presentations, interviews, and fast-paced discussions where clarity and confidence are essential.

You bring your real workplace scenarios, updates, slides, tasks, and communication challenges, and we turn them into practical, repeatable communication patterns. Together, we identify where communication gets stuck and build strategies to move through those moments with more ease and control.

Through focused sessions, micro practice, and realistic rehearsal, you learn to stay present, think clearly, and express your ideas naturally in high-pressure situations.

Originally from Bulgaria and now based in England, I understand the mental load of working in a second language and the frustration of not always being able to express your full expertise. I combine academic grounding with lived experience to help you communicate with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mariya my English teacher. In her course, I was given the freedom to communicate with people from different professions and backgrounds, which enriched me not only linguistically but also personally.
With her guidance, I improved my pronunciation, expanded my vocabulary, and started building grammatically correct sentences. Whenever I make a mistake, Mariya gently corrects me and gives me valuable advice on how to use a word or expression in the best way.
This training has been extremely helpful in my business as well. Mariya shows me how to build proper relationships with clients, how to speak with confidence, and which expressions to use when I feel uncertain in communication.
The group interaction allows me to learn about different spheres of life, to hold friendly or professional conversations without hesitation, and to broaden my perspective.
Thank you, Mariya! I am truly glad to have such a professional by my side who inspires and supports me.

Mariya’s lessons have been extremely helpful for me. Not only have I learned to listen more carefully and not rush, but they also give me clear guidance on how to lead a conversation more effectively. Even when I’m not fully prepared with questions, I find that I can adapt more quickly during the conversation, stay engaged, and actively participate instead of avoiding difficult moments.
The lessons also help me improve my grammar. I can see my mistakes more clearly and learn new things all the time. Speaking with different people in the group, each with their own style and professional background, really expands my ability to communicate.
It feels much more practical and useful compared to just studying dry material, because I’m learning how to communicate in real, live situations.
I would definitely recommend Mariya’s teaching style. I believe it can help many people like me, those who may feel unsure about their knowledge or just need a bit of guidance to understand where they’re going wrong and focus on improving their weak areas, instead of repeating the same mistakes.
One thing that really stood out to me about your coaching style is how practical and interactive it is. I really enjoyed how the sessions are focused on real communication rather than just theory. I feel that I’ve improved not only my speaking and listening skills, but also my confidence in handling conversations more naturally and effectively.
