English For IT provides great soft skills and cross cultural communication workshops which are crucial when dealing with foreign customers. We love that they offer individual approach and address the needs of each employee. We also like the fact that we can have classes with native speakers.

Kudos to Anna and your entire team for making my English better! I used to have trouble with some grammar topics (especially, future tenses) but now I feel much better at it! I learned a lot of new words and phrases related to tech. Special thanks for lots of speaking activities.

I'm an English teacher at a tech company, and there are not a lot of tech resources up for grabs. I was lucky to bump into English for Tech by Anna and try it out with my students. This textbook is truly great if you want to boost your students' grammar and vocabulary through the context of the tech industry, which makes the process of learning English less stressful and more purposeful. The soft skills section is my personal favorite.
Kudos to Anna for doing such a great job 😊

I've just started using your textbook and teacher's guide. So far, I find them really useful and insightful 😊. I think both the topics and examples are great for IT guys, especially those, who want to stick to IT sphere only. Another advantage is the unit on soft skills, which they often lack.

Everything is so up-to-date and in demand in the Tech sphere that I can't think of better content. What I find amazing, this book is applicable for any level of students - I work with it with my A2 students as well as B2. It's versatile and universal. I have around 100+ students who managed to achieve their goals with the help of this textbook, nail the interviews, sustain everyday business communication at work, and become better presenters and more confident users of English in the work environment. This book has definitely made their lives better!
