Maryia logs in Tuesday at 18:00. She talks with Ashley from London for 45 minutes. They practise job interview phrases in English. Next week they'll practise phone calls with the kindergarten. Ashley corrects pronunciation and suggests better phrasing. No textbook. No test. Just a conversation with someone who cares.

Oleksii is an engineer. He was matched with Marcus, a senior engineer at Siemens in Munich. Marcus went through Oleksii's CV, removed Ukrainian formatting that doesn't work in Germany, added keywords German recruiters search for, and practised three common interview questions in German. After 4 sessions, Oleksii applied to 12 positions. He got 3 interviews.
