Mr Justin Lilak - Mr Justin Lilak

Justin began teaching English in Moscow in 2012 and has since helped thousands of students improve their language skills and excel in English language exams.

 

He views learning English as a lifelong pursuit and believes it is crucial to inspire students to find joy in the process. To Justin, English is an essential skill that evolves with every word read or written, and he encourages students to see it as a tool for lifelong learning.

 

While Justin acknowledges the importance of mastering grammar and practising language skills, he also emphasises the value of engaging students through games, activities, and projects. He believes that English is not confined to textbooks; as a language spoken by 1.5 billion people worldwide, it provides endless opportunities to explore fascinating topics, ideas, and events. He encourages students to tailor their English studies to their personal interests, creating space in the classroom for them to share their hobbies and passions.

 

Originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Justin holds a degree from the University of Massachusetts. In his free time, he enjoys learning about art and architecture, as well as working with electronics and fabricating gadgets. An outdoor enthusiast, he spends his summers camping and sailing.
