        <description>&lt;img src="https://business.engmarta.com/images/notebook-laptop.jpg" alt="Featured image of post Lessons" /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Business English Lessons&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I offer 1-on-1 Business English lessons designed to help professionals communicate more clearly and confidently at work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My students are usually working in fields such as IT, healthcare, engineering, and other industries where English is needed for meetings, emails, and daily communication.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;how-the-lessons-work&#34;&gt;How the lessons work
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each lesson is 45 minutes and fully personalized.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We usually follow the Business Result textbook, which is designed for real workplace English. This helps us build clear structure and steady progress over time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the first lesson, we may focus more on speaking naturally and understanding your current level before moving deeper into the textbook.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;what-happens-during-a-lesson&#34;&gt;What happens during a lesson
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the lesson, you will:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Speak and answer questions in English&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Learn useful business vocabulary and phrases&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Practice real workplace situations (meetings, emails, discussions)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Receive corrections from me during and after speaking&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Get feedback on how to improve your English&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t interrupt every mistake immediately. Instead, I take notes and give clear corrections so you can speak more freely during the lesson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After each lesson, you will receive updates in your personal spreadsheet with useful corrections, including words and phrases from the lesson. This is the same document each time, so your vocabulary list builds over time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;your-learning-materials&#34;&gt;Your learning materials
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;We use the Business Result textbook series to guide your progress from your current level to advanced business communication.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hello! I’m &lt;strong&gt;Marta&lt;/strong&gt;, an experienced ESL instructor dedicated to helping adult learners achieve confidence and fluency in English.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;credentials--experience&#34;&gt;Credentials &amp;amp; Experience
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;B.A. in English&lt;/strong&gt; (4.0 GPA)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TESL Certificate&lt;/strong&gt;, Oxford Seminars&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2,400+ ESL students&lt;/strong&gt; taught (as of May 2026)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;my-language-journey&#34;&gt;My Language Journey
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was born in Ukraine and moved to the United States at age 10. Because of my experiences in the U.S., I decided to become an English teacher. I encountered many challenges, but that experience will help me relate to you and guide you in your English language experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, I’m studying my 5th language, Japanese, and after I&amp;rsquo;m conversational, I&amp;rsquo;ll start learning my 6th language.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;who-i-help&#34;&gt;Who I Help
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;This program is ideal for adult learners, especially &lt;strong&gt;Ukrainian&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Russian&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Chinese&lt;/strong&gt; speakers who want to improve their Business English through a structured, textbook-based approach, including:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Professional communication skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Business vocabulary and terminology&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Speaking and listening in workplace contexts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Email writing and formal correspondence&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Presentation and meeting skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;teaching-style&#34;&gt;Teaching Style
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Customized Lessons&lt;/strong&gt; tailored to your goals (e.g., living in the U.S., travel, test prep)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real‑Time Feedback&lt;/strong&gt;:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Live corrections as you speak&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use of phonetic symbols (for clear pronunciation guidance)  /ˈsɪmb(ə)ls/&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&#34;teaching-materials&#34;&gt;Teaching Materials
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;ldquo;Business Result&amp;rdquo; textbooks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spreadsheet with your words and phrases&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“It was a really instructive class, Marta is a very well-prepared professional that helped me a lot with my English. I expect to book a new class with her and continue to improve my conversational skills. I enjoyed the meeting, thanks a lot Marta!”&lt;br&gt;
