Me as a Teacher
Before our lessons I'd like to know what is your level as well as what do you want to concentrate on during our learning: speaking, grammar, pronunciation, etc., it will help me to meet your expectations. We can talk about it in our trial lesson whether negotiate it in advance.
My lessons & teaching style
As the main purpose is to help you to reach your language goals, our lessons will be customized according to your needs and mood :)
I believe that conversation practice is crucially important as communication is the main purpose of any language and all the rest is up to you!
We can work on building your vocabulary in some specific area whether just discover something completely new for you.
We can strictly follow our plan whether just spontaneously improvise and discuss some books, films, or stories you would like to share with me...

I always enjoy my lessons with Olesia! I appreciate how she structures our time in a very productive way and is encouraging and patient. She customizes each lesson to focus on what I want to work on and helps address my weaknesses with Ukrainian, I always leave having learned new vocab/grammar concepts and am very grateful to have a teacher like her. I highly recommend to all.

Olesia is a wonderful teacher! A few months ago, I decided that I was going to learn Ukrainian from scratch and, given that this would be my first language in the Slavic group, I started right away with Olesia. I'm so glad I made that decision! We've had more or less weekly lessons since then and my progress has been steady, thanks to her. She's a driven, but compassionate and patient, teacher and she's done a fantastic job of providing resources and introducing me to helpful beginner's media in Ukrainian. She's also got a great sense of humor! The fact that she speaks Italian, too, is a bonus as we often have fun translating phrases into Italian, but her English is excellent, too, which of course I needed since I was starting from A0. So, if you're looking for a Ukrainian teacher, I highly recommend Olesia! I plan to stay with her for the continuance of my linguistic journey!

Olesia is the most passionate English teacher I have ever met. Having classes with her, I always feel like how time flies. I get to know so many useful phrases in class, and she always helps me to recap and use those learned phrases/words in the conversations. Besides, It is not only about the English itself, but also the quality of content talked in class, which does broaden my horizon. She corrects my mistakes and gives me real-time feedback such as the more precise and native way to say it, which is really helpful. A moderate amount of homework is given every time and the conversation class is all fulfilling!

She has endless patience!! and explains things clearly. She approaches every class with a warm smile and positive energy, no matter what is happening around her.I couldn’t ask for a better teacher!

I love Olesia as a teacher because of her passion for students and her dedication to improving her skills. She has an excellent accent, and her approach and materials are impressive. Even when I don't do my homework or have breaks from classes, she always has different activities ready for our lessons. She also incorporates new phrases I send her into the lesson plan seamlessly. I'm proud to have her as my Ukrainian English teacher and don't feel the need to look for a native speaker to practice my British pronunciation. If I had met her many years ago, my love for English would have appeared much earlier. Despite my failures with self-study, she never gave up, supported me, and encouraged me to practice the language. Thank you!
