I am a dynamic and creative teacher. I am experienced in both teaching languages and learning them. I offer individual and small group classes. In addition to full lessons, I also offer speaking practice and shadowing for self-learners. Russian and Ukrainian are my two native languages, and I have spoken English for most of my life. I hold a degree in International Relations from the University of Calgary. I learnt Arabic in university and now I'm learning Romanian. I will be useful to motivated individuals wishing to master a language, and to foreign students who might struggle with more formal, academic language.

I follow two main lesson structures used in language teaching today, but I place the stress on practise. Practising productive skills in particular is the most important part of the language learning process. Ideally, a student should have at least two lessons a week, and I prefer to dedicate the second lesson entirely to practice.Groups are great because this setting gives plenty of opportunity to practise with other students and allows for more fun activities.
I'm quite flexible during the summer and work well around the time difference. We can discuss our schedules and chose an option that works best for both of us.
Zoom, coffee shops and such
