I'm Oksana, a passionate language educator from Ukraine. With certifications from CELTA (Cambridge Assessment English) and GD SCIC (Brussels, Belgium), coupled with a PhD in Pedagogical Sciences and a Master's Degree in Translation Studies and Teaching English, I've accumulated more than 15 years of experience in teaching.
Teaching languages isn't just my job; it's my passion and life's purpose. I'm dedicated to helping learners explore new languages and cultures. Currently, I'm diving into Italian and French, eager to expand my linguistic horizons.
Outside the classroom, I'm an avid traveller. I love music and play the piano. I adore reading. The motto of my life is "Live and Learn!"
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a teacher, I pay a lot of attention to my professional developent (participating in various training programs and presenting at international conferences) in order to help my students to reach their goals as soon as possible and with joy. My teaching purpose is to equip my students with necessary vocabulary on a certain topic and appropriate grammar patterns, and, of course, introduce new foreign cultural concepts. I encourage my students to progress and have a good command of English as an effective tool for reaching out due to it may help open new vistas for them, immerse into foreign culture, understand a foreign society and become many-sided persons.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are very dynamic and result-oriented. In accordance with my teaching practice the most relatable to me is The Communicative and Direct Approaches. I incorporate information gaps and sequencing activities during my classes to develop communication skills of my students. I find role plays and language games very practical because they increase students’ engagement. Moreover, I consider visual aids effective in language teaching and learning because they help to convey meanings of the concepts and remember the material. In additon, I develop critical and creative thinking, emotional intellignce (EQ). In the end of the course I enjoy role reversal to make my students more confident.

As always, Oksana never fails to make every lesson interesting. Today, we read short dialogues, which helped me pick up some new words and get acquainted with how some words are used in daily conversations. We also did a little interview, where Oksana and I asked one another a few questions about our hobbies, our interests, our pets, among other things. I wish I could rate this lesson 10 stars. She is the best Ukrainian-language teacher here on iTalki, bar none.

I have taken Ukrainian language lessons from Oksana for over 6 months. Ukrainian is not the easiest language to acquire and it is important to have the assistance of a capable and experienced teacher. I am delighted that I was lucky enough to find Oksana - she is not only capable and experienced but is also very kind person who has a positive, compassionate and encouraging attitude and makes me look forward to every lesson. I certainly recommend her to anyone who is serious about learning Ukrainian.

I’ve tried lessons with a few different Ukrainian teachers and Oksana is the first one I booked beyond my trial lesson. I just had my first official lesson and I appreciate how prepared she was with a full packet of exercises tailored for me at my level and plenty of material for me to work on at home before our next session. Very helpful and great at explaining things!
