Thanks to Mockly’s preparation and mock interviews, I passed multiple interviews, received several offers, and landed a new job. The sessions increased my confidence as we worked through initial screening and technical interview questions. Mockly didn’t just improve my English - they gave me great advice on how to answer questions and approach interviews strategically. I truly recommend them to anyone seeking a role at an international company.

Mockly has been the best investment I’ve made in the past year. The mentors don’t just have a deep knowledge of the language - they bring extensive experience in the IT industry. They understand the tech job market and are well-versed in modern engineering practices and the culture of top companies. Sessions aren’t just about improving your English; they’re an opportunity to sharpen your soft skills, gain valuable insights beyond engineering, and become a stronger communicator overall. Highly recommended.

Mockly knows what it takes to get hired. The preparation covers behavioral, algorithm, and system design interviews thoroughly - with real expertise in the STAR method, LeetCode, and Alex Xu’s system design frameworks. And when it comes to English and communication skills, the native-speaking mentors make all the difference.

Mockly’s approach is genuinely personalized - they use a variety of methods tailored to your specific needs. With their help, I improved my spoken English and prepared thoroughly for behavioral interview questions across different companies. This not only helped me refine my stories grammatically but also ensured I was using the right examples to answer specific questions effectively.

Mockly was a huge help in preparing for my interviews. We worked on both technical and behavioral questions, and I received great advice on how to approach them and what to focus on. I feel significantly more confident as a result. They also helped me with my CV and cover letter - showing me how to structure them properly and highlight my strengths. I appreciate that they always ask how you’d like to structure your sessions and adjust to your goals. It keeps you on track and makes the whole process far more effective.

I’ve had the pleasure of practicing English with Mockly and I truly appreciate the progress I’ve made. I highly recommend their services to professionals in tech and beyond. I particularly enjoy the teaching style and the philosophy behind it: “If you enjoy the process, you’ll get it.” The personalized learning plans make every session practical and useful. Their hands-on knowledge and genuine interest in the world of technology will genuinely boost your English skills.

Who this is for

Built for Russian-speaking engineers

If you interview in English for a Western tech role, this is built for you.

Russian-speaking engineers

You can explain your work clearly in Russian but struggle in English interviews. You don't need to be fluent - if you can hold a conversation, a coach can work with you.

Software, product, and data roles

Built for all roles in tech, including software engineers, product managers, and data professionals.

Western English-language interviews

Relocating or interviewing remotely for US, UK, EU, and remote roles. Interviews you're used to often reward technical depth. Western loops also want STAR stories, ownership, and thinking aloud.

FAQ

Questions

No. Any non-native English speaker can book. Our coaches specialise in working with Russian-speaking engineers - the language habits that show up in interviews, the mistakes that are easy to miss, and how Western loops differ from what you may be used to. Sessions are 100% in English. The coaches do not speak Russian.
