InterestsReadingScienceMusic
My name is Dr. Baloga but friends and students call me Olga. I am a qualified doctor and gynaecologist who also teaches anatomy to international students at the medical faculty of Uzhhorod National University. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, learning about history, reading books, and staying fit. Studying languages is my passion, and I am fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, English, and Spanish. I am committed to continuously improving my language skills and knowledge.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I offer Ukrainian, Russian and English language classes for all levels, including children. I specialise in teaching medical terminology and can also help my students with grammar and conversational skills. I understand the challenges of learning a new language and use a wide range of books and materials to help my students achieve their goals.
My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I focus on discussing common topics to encourage my students to be ready to learn and improve their language skills. I begin by identifying their weaknesses and then tailor a personalised, step-by-step plan to achieve their goals, taking into account their feedback and preferences. Together, we work to develop a schedule and lesson plans that are tailored to their needs and focused on their areas for improvement. I continually evaluate their progress and provide feedback, making adjustments where necessary to ensure they stay on track. As an optional additional resource, I offer homework to reinforce learning further and build confidence outside of our sessions. My goal is to

Olga is so kind and an amazing teacher. I work as a GP and have many Ukrainian patients. Olga has been a massive help to me in improving my communication skills with them. I also had a document from one of my patients that was far above my ability to understand, but thanks to Olga it is very manageable. I couldn't have done it without you. Большое спасибо ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am absolutely thrilled I found Dr. Baloga. She messaged me before the lesson to find out what my goals were and had a plan ready for our first lesson (I am interested in medical jargon which is one of her specialties). She is responsive to my goals and is a pleasure to talk to on top of her professional and organized approach to teaching. I would absolutely recommend working with her!

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Olga. She keeps the right pace, explains the contents well and always makes sure you are following!

Everyone needs to find the teacher that fits their needs. That's hard when a teacher has their own "method" they're fixated on. Olga is super flexible, she has real love of the language and is actively working on learning new languages she hasn't mastered herself. She's exactly what I need and I love the flexibility to change directions as my interests and needs shift. Staying motivated is easy when you're following your curiosity instead of doing the drudgery someone with a phd in linguistics decided is the most logical way to learn a language. If you're not falling in love with the language, you'll find ways to avoid it. Fall in love with it, and you'll squeeze in time to learn a little more every time you can manage it. And I need a teacher who helps me with that approach. Olga does.
