01 / THE IDEA

More thoughtful than a meetup.
Built around real conversation.

Hi is a growing pop-up space for people who want to use English through ideas, culture and genuine connection.

Small groups, strong facilitation and thoughtful themes — without awkward networking or classroom pressure.

05 / THE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m
Alessandra.

I’m a California-born English teacher, linguist and professional artist based in Tbilisi.

I’ve taught English for more than ten years, including professionals from EU institutions and international companies in Luxembourg and Brussels. I’m bilingual in English and Russian, and my background spans language, art and cultural education.

I created Hi to bring those worlds together: thoughtful teaching, interesting ideas and spaces where people actually want to talk.

What exactly is Hi?

Hi is a growing English and creative space in Tbilisi — built around conversation, culture, art and people. Right now that includes Hi. Speak and private English lessons, with Hi. Read and Hi. Paint taking shape next.

Do I need perfect English to join?

Definitely not. Different Hi formats may have different recommended levels, but the goal is real communication, not perfect grammar. For Hi. Speak, B1 is currently recommended.

Who is behind Hi?

Hi was created by Alessandra — a California-born English teacher, linguist and professional artist based in Tbilisi, with more than 10 years of teaching experience.

How can I take part?

Can I collaborate with Hi?

Yes. Hi is open to thoughtful collaborations with venues, artists, educators, cultural projects and other people or spaces that fit the concept. DM @hi.space.tbilisi to say hi.
