Background
Damir taught for three years at learning centres in Tashkent, Milan and Venice, then started his own online courses under the LINGUA name. Since then he has taught online for three years. He works with students from A1 to C1, explains in Uzbek and Russian, and speaks five languages himself. He holds a bachelor's degree in business and economics.
He lives in Venice, which is why LINGUA also teaches Italian: LINGUA Italiano starts from zero, with the CILS exam as a goal for students heading to Italian universities.

How he teaches
Every LINGUA course is built on the same eight elements. Damir builds the lessons himself.
- Visual grammar: you see grammar in real texts, posts and reels before you learn the rule.
- Spaced repetition: every new word comes back after 1, 3, 7, 16, 35, 90 and 180 days.
- Critical thinking: real companies and real situations, with the Harvard case method, instead of textbook dialogues.
- Creative projects: dialogues, podcasts and mini-projects in English, with feedback.
- Professional feedback: comments under your writing and homework set from your own lessons.
- Permanent access: everything you finish stays open on any device.
What he built: the LINGUA platform
Besides teaching, Damir built LINGUA's own learning platform. It holds 270+ interactive lessons across LINGUA Life, IELTS 2.0, Business and Italiano, IELTS mock tests with a band tracker, an IELTS grammar and vocabulary section, and a word trainer with games. Students book and move their own lessons on a week calendar and get reminders and homework feedback from a Telegram bot.
