Odesa, Ukraine · English for Ukrainian speakers

They understand English. We help them speak it.

YAPOO is an English school for Ukrainian-speaking learners aged 15–30, many of them living abroad. Our AI speaking trainers give instant, specific feedback on every phrase, so students practise speaking every day between live lessons.

Fix: «th» звучить як «т». Покладіть кінчик язика між зубами і видихніть — без голосу.

How a practice round works

Speak

The learner says a phrase from the lesson into the phone.

Transcribe

Speech recognition turns the attempt into text.

Coach

Claude compares it with the target, scores it 0–100 and explains the one thing to fix, in Ukrainian.

Repeat

The learner tries again or moves into a short role-play using the same phrase.

Built with Claude

Claude Code

The whole product, from trainers to Telegram bots, is built and maintained by a solo non-engineer founder with Claude Code.

Claude API

Feedback in the Arthur trainer now runs on Claude Haiku. Next: role-plays and the Arcade games.

Claude in operations

Telegram assistants confirm lesson times with students and run the school's content pipeline.

The method

Artur Zheliaskov, founder and teacher

Ukrainian learners often understand English well and still freeze when they have to talk. YAPOO turns speaking into a habit: students record short English videos for TikTok, join a 21-day Telegram challenge, and practise with the AI trainers between live lessons.
