Communicative Language Academy (CLA) is the official testing and preparation centre for the Pearson English International Certificate (PEIC) exam in Ukraine.
We help students, teachers, schools and companies confirm their level of English proficiency according to international standards — and open up new academic and professional opportunities around the world.
Why should you take the PEIC?
Career advantage — the PEIC result increases competitiveness in the international labour market, assists with university admissions, and confirms professional qualifications for employers.
Prestige and reliability — the exam was developed by British education giant Pearson, which has been setting global education standards for over 180 years.
International recognition — the certificate is recognised by universities, employers and government agencies in over 150 countries worldwide, including the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, the United States and Australia.
A certificate with no expiry date is valid for life.
Focus on practical language skills — tasks test the ability to use English in professional, academic and everyday situations.
Pearson English International Certificate (PEIC) is an exam designed to test the real communication skills needed for studying, working and living in an English-speaking environment.
Its main purpose is not to test knowledge of grammar rules, but to assess the ability to communicate, understand, argue and express opinions in English naturally and confidently.

Hello! My name is Kateryna Kurysh and I am a master trainer of the British Council in Ukraine and co-founder of the CLA foreign language center. Since my student years I dreamed of creating a new generation school with the most modern teaching methods. I wanted to combine complex grammar and interesting games, listening to podcasts and real-life situations, vocabulary cards and soft skills development in one place. And I succeeded! Now with a large team of CLA teachers we are developing and improving every day to get a great result with students! This is the most important thing for us! So join us and become a part of CLA! ❤️
I have more than 17 years of experience in personalized service, so I will take care of you, provide advice on school services and select the perfect teacher who will satisfy all your needs in learning a foreign language! I am an irreplaceable guide in communication between you and the teacher! Therefore, it is not surprising that my main credo in life is customer focus! Journeys to more than 25 countries have proved that English is the language that helps to feel free in any corner of the world and open new horizons!
Hi there! I am convinced that English is the future of your business! I prefer group lessons, as it is a great opportunity to develop communication skills together, as well as to discuss various topics and interesting issues. The training program and vocabulary are formed individually according to the direction of your company. Easy and friendly atmosphere at our classes is guaranteed! My favourite quote: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can."
I have been teaching English for over 12 years. I have experience with different age groups (adults, children, teenagers). Business and IT sphere, international language exams and specializations. I also developed individual training programs with top business schools. I am convinced that teaching is a constant self-development and expansion of horizons for me as a teacher and a person.
I have been working in areas related to the English language for almost 3 years. Determined and focused, I always try to achieve my goals. I chose English because this language has accompanied me since I was a child: my mother also teaches English, so I can say with confidence that foreign languages are in my blood. I prefer to work with high school students or with adults. because I love the learning process. where students are not afraid to speak and ask questions. My favorite quote is "Through fire to the stars" (Per aspera ad astra). I really like the process of teaching and communication with students because I am charged with positive energy and the desire to improve my skills and abilities. What I like most about English is that it is impossible to learn it to the end. Every day there are new things, rules are changing, which does not allow you to relax and be constantly in shape." Favorite phrase: "Life is not perfect. but your English can be"
I have more than 4 years of experience, working with different age groups from young children (my youngest student was 1.7 years old) to 50+. In addition to CLA, I work as an English teacher at the English Language Department. I often attend online webinars on English teaching methods. I will soon receive an international TESOL certificate.

Hello! My name is Diana, and I am a CLA Englsih tutor. I have been teaching children and teenagers for almost two years and now I teach students of all ages. When I was a kid I wanted to be a teacher, but everyone around me told me that it was a "thankless profession" and I believed it. I think that you have heard this many times. A lot of years have passed, but the desire to teach people has not disappeared. And you know what? Yes, this profession, like any other, has its own nuances, but I can say with full confidence that it is a grateful profession. A cool result and a smile on the student's face are worth a lot! I am delighted when a student enjoys learning English and he/she achieves his/her goal! So. let's go!
Ever since childhood, I knew that teaching others was my calling. That is why I have been working as an English teacher for 24 years. I am also a master trainer for joint projects between the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the British Council in Ukraine. Since 2006, I have been the head of the School for Young Teachers in Chernivtsi. I believe that through joint efforts, we will be able to take education in Ukraine to a whole new level.
I’ve been teaching English at CLA for two years, and during this time I’ve realized that learning can be not only effective but also genuinely enjoyable. I’m the kind of person who always has a book on hand. Reading for me is a way to calm down, switch off, and spend a little time in another world. I have a lot of books, but one of the recent ones that really stuck with me is “Where the Sun Sets” by Olena Pshenychnaya. There’s one thing I still haven’t mastered… I can’t ride a bicycle 😂 But on the bright side, I’m great at navigating language nuances and love explaining complex things in a simple way. Lately, my wardrobe is mostly white and light colors, and when it comes to guilty pleasures… yes, I admit it, I love fast food 🤤 In my headphones, you’ll often hear Sombr — Undressed, and in my bag, there’s always a notebook and a pencil case full of pens and markers — lessons just wouldn’t be the same without them. When preparing for a lesson, I always ask myself: “What will really click with my students?” — and that’s when my favorite part begins: searching for topics, ideas, and examples. I love the moment when I can share what I’ve found and see their live reactions during class 😌 As for my expertise: I hold a PEIC C1 certificate and a PEIC testologist qualification. I regularly attend webinars to improve my skills, but honestly, the best measure for me is student feedback — seeing their progress and knowing they don’t want to stop. And if I could be any character — without a doubt, it would be Sid from “Ice Age” 😆 A bit quirky, kind, and always in the right place.
