SPEAKING CLUB

Speaking Club: B2–C1

Think. Speak. Respond. Naturally.

This is not a course and not exam preparation. It is a structured speaking environment designed to help advanced learners use English freely, confidently, and intelligently.

The Speaking Club focuses on:

  • spontaneous speech
  • idea development
  • argumentation
  • interaction in real-life and professional contexts

You don't study English here —
you use it.

Spontaneous speech

Natural, unscripted communication without preparation

Idea development

Building and expanding thoughts in real-time conversation

Argumentation

Presenting and defending positions with clarity and logic

Real interaction

Authentic communication in professional and everyday contexts

What Makes This Product Different

What this is

  • A weekly speaking practice format
  • Carefully moderated discussions
  • Real-world, intellectually engaging topics
  • Advanced-level participants (B2–C1)

What this is NOT

  • ❌ Not a General English course
  • ❌ Not an exam preparation class
  • ❌ Not grammar- or vocabulary-driven
  • ❌ Not scripted speaking tasks

The Speaking Club exists between learning and real use of language —
where fluency, clarity, and confidence are built.

How It Works (Process)

What happens in a session

You:

  • discuss a carefully selected topic
  • respond, react, interrupt, clarify
  • develop ideas in real time
  • listen and adapt to others
  • learn to express complex thoughts clearly

The moderator:

  • guides the discussion
  • keeps it balanced and dynamic
  • encourages depth and precision
  • intervenes only when necessary


This is real communication, not performance.

About the teacher

Meet Your Teacher: Karina Tumasyan

The moment I was given my very first English coursebook I couldn’t contain my curiosity. Years of learning that followed have only made it more obvious: there are just a few other things that excite me as much as the phenomenon of language. I obtained a degree in foreign languages and teaching to share the joy of discovering the intricacies of English with my students.

My qualifications include:

  • CELTA certification
  • MA Linguistics, PhD in Philology (in progress)
  • CAE Grade A, CPE Grade A

My mission is simple: to help you start thinking in English.
