Hello everyone! 🙋🏻♀️
*Note: Unfortunately, I don't prepare my students for any kind of examination and I don't teach kids. Thanks for your understanding!* 💔
My name is Maria, I am from Ukraine🇺🇦. I'm a native speaker of Ukrainian and Russian, but I speak English fluently as well. I can also speak Portuguese at the B1 level and Korean at A2 level.
I've decided to become a tutor on Italki because languages are my life. I've been learning different languages since I was 13. I'd love to save the beautiful Lakota language! I want to help others learn languages that I'm offering 🙆🏻♀️
I'm a good listener. My students tell me that maybe I could become a therapist 🌝 I will listen to you 100%!

Me as a Teacher
I am a very easy-going person, so don't ever hesitate to ask me anything 🌱
I'll gladly answer all of your questions and correct your mistakes, if needed. I love discussing with my students their life goals and passions. I'll adapt to your needs, either it is pronunciation corrections, grammar recap or vocabulary focus 📖
I want our lessons to be as natural and relaxed as possible, that's why I love to do some activities with my students, such as learning with movies, songs, or playing games to relax your mind during the lesson 🍿
My lessons & teaching style
Usually my lessons are focused on conversation practice, however before diving into our lesson, we will make a study plan where we'll discuss your goals, struggles and weak points 🌊
Afterwards, we will focus on achieving everything you need. I will be giving you some pronunciation tips, tricks on how to study and retain vocabulary, correct your grammar (if needed). I'm providing a huge variety of topics (daily routine, slang, idioms, languages, sports, home, food, space and many others), each topic is for a certain level 🐣

I am a new student to Ukrainian and to italki. From the very first «Привіт!», with her beaming smile, Maria had me hooked! Марія teaches and listens with enthusiasm, patience, and a lot of understanding. Her lessons and conversations are diverse, interesting, engaging, and we always smile and laugh along the way! 😄 With my extremely demanding schedule, our learning sessions have become a veritable oasis! We just completed another session and I already can’t wait for our next lesson (I feel that way after each lesson)!
Щиро дякую, Маріє! Я так багато вивчаю кожен урок! Ти чудова вчителька! Дуже дуже дякую! 🙏

One of the best decisions I made this year was taking Ukrainian lessons with Maria. While I have little talent for learning languages, she has tons and gladly passes her experience and enthusiasm on to her students. In a relaxed and friendly environment, you will learn and practice your language skills, learn about Ukrainian culture, and be inspired to keep going. The hour will go by far too quickly, and you will be noticeably better by its end.

I have had Maria as a teacher for at least six lessons and she is excellent. She quickly assessed my level of skill in Russian, where I was strongest and what needed work on. Then she set up me up with the opportunity to do assignments (if I wished). Maria is also a great conversationalist and to my surprise had an incredibly detailed knowledge of my humble little state of South Dakota. The hour I spend with her each week just flies by. She motivates me to be better and I feel myself improving as a student -- at least my confidence is! : ) I was not a great language student back in school, but this is fun. It doesn’t feel like work at all. Notice how busy her schedule is. There is a reason: she’s good.

Ще один чудовий урок з Марією! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Сьогодні ми переглянули правила шахів минулого тижня, і я підвищила своє розуміння як шахів, так і української! Як круто! These lessons with Maria are true gifts that just get better and better! My comprehension, enthusiasm, and confidence to speak is really growing over time! Дякую, Маріє! Ти така хороша вчителька і людина!

She is an excellent teacher. She is very good at understanding and identifying student’s problems. She teaches the language in a very friendly manner. So students can learn and understand it.
