Bio: Ivan Masterov is a professional linguist who mainly specializes in interpretation and phonetics, i.e., pronunciation and accents of the United Kingdom. He received his higher education at the University of Orekhovo-Zuevo, majoring in both translation and interpretation with a thesis on ways of transferring gerunds and participles into Russian. In 2020, he received his master’s degree in intercultural communication, devoting his study mainly to pronunciation and its dependence on a classified British society.

Ivan has written several articles on the topics of lexicology (specifically, research on “indeed”) and phonetics (specifically the “dying-out of RP in a modern society”). He also has an advanced certificate in business English and in 2021 received the CPE, which appears to be the highest for those who speak English as a second language.

“These days I make my living by teaching English and expanding its borders beyond the scientific world to the hearts of those who seek,” Ivan says. “I wish not to have anyone … feel abandoned on this rocky path toward the depth of another language like English, which is indeed the largest and most fascinating among many. I have a knack, they say, in voice-coaching, too, so I prepare students’ speech for this challenging alternation into a closer replica to English.”
