About us
About Zagipa — Your English Speaking Coach
I'm Zagipa, an English teacher from Kazakhstan living in New Zealand.
TESOL certified. MEd qualified. 10+ years of teaching experience.
I built LingоLumen because I watched smart, educated adults study English for years — and still freeze when they needed to speak.
Why I built LingоLumen
Traditional English teaching creates students who pass tests but can't hold a real conversation.
I built LingоLumen differently — focused entirely on speaking, confidence, and real communication.
I understand your specific challenges. The sounds that don't exist in Kazakh or Russian. The habit of translating. The fear of being judged.
I lived alongside this as a teacher for over 10 years. Now I've built the system that solves it.
What students say about Zagipa
Your Teacher Understands You
I'm from Central Asia. I know exactly which sounds are hardest for you, why you freeze, and how to fix it.
Real Speaking Results
Not test scores. Not certificates. Real conversations — at work, travelling, with new people.
You Are Not Alone
Every student I've taught felt exactly like you do now. Every single one improved. You will too.
