Editorial team

The people who write and edit our English guides. Every guide carries a byline, and the app comparisons are signed by our Head of Content so it's always clear they come from the team behind the app.

  Michael Turner

  Head of Content at Hinto

  Michael leads the editorial team and edits every guide and app comparison on this site. He writes about how people actually reach fluency — less grammar drilling, more reading and listening to real content until it clicks. He personally signs the app comparisons so it's always clear they come from the team behind the app, not a pretend-neutral reviewer.

  Tomasz Kowalski

  Editor, English content

  Tomasz edits the English guides and keeps the advice honest and practical — cutting the padding until every paragraph earns its place. He learned English as a second language himself, so he writes for the reader who understands the textbook perfectly and real people not at all.

  Oksana Kovalenko

  Language-learning writer

  Oksana writes about listening and reading — how to move from graded lessons to real podcasts, videos and books without drowning. A non-native English speaker who got there through immersion, she focuses on the methods that survive contact with a busy adult schedule.

  Ana Ferreira

  Language-learning writer

  Ana writes about reading and vocabulary — which books actually work at which level, and how to remember the words you meet instead of forgetting them by the next day. She reads across genres and levels and is happiest recommending the one book that finally makes reading in English feel easy.

  Elif Kaya

  Contributing writer

  Elif writes about learning English from the media people already love — podcasts, YouTube and film. She's interested in the small habits that turn passive watching into real progress, and she tests every technique on her own listening before she recommends it.
