Marina Petrović, the teacher behind Lewinow

About

"Ivan was seven when his voice first ended up in one of these recordings. He's grown up since — Lewinow kind of did too."

Marina Petrović — the teacher behind Lewinow

Thirty years of teaching English, twenty of them preparing young learners for Cambridge exams, and online since 2008. The materials here are the ones that survived real classrooms: sticky fingers, short attention spans, and the odd singalong that derails a lesson plan.

Fun fact: the name is exactly what it looks like — Learn English with Ivan Now. Back in 2010, tacking "NOW" onto a domain was basically a whole marketing strategy, and Ivan's old recordings are still in the bones of the earliest lessons.
