Me as a Teacher
I'm a very empathetic person and I'd like to become your best friend who helps you to become fluent in Ukrainian or English. I'm a student on Italki myself and I have developed my own system of learning new languages effectively. Our classes will be as stress free as possible to help you in your language learning journey as well as to feel comfortable and confident. I'll help you to become not only a better speaker, but also a better human being.
My lessons & teaching style
I can help you enhance your language skills through casual conversations or in-depth discussions on interesting books. We'll focus on improving your speaking, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
I use google documents for my students so you can always review and revise what you have learned during the class.
No matter your level of proficiency, you are welcome to join my classes! As a language instructor, I'm here to support and guide you through the learning process, whether you're just starting out or have some prior experience.
*If a student is 15 minutes late without informing me in advance, our class will be canceled and will be confirmed as completed.

Mykola is the best teacher I have in italki. I have booked dozens of lectures here. Although I have tried others, he is the best of them all. He is such an exceptional tutor and friend who has led me from a beginner to a more fluent speaker. I appreciate him so much.
At the very beginning, I was shy and afraid of talking, but then, he taught me with immense patience, encouragement, and exciting methods; step by step, I have already improved.
I sincerely enjoy the atmosphere during the lessons and every topic we discuss, even can’t notice time flies.
Thanks to him, I will insist on learning, and I also genuinely recommend him to everyone who wants to learn English.

Mykola is an excellent Ukrainian teacher! He is unerringly patient, kind and encouraging and it is clear that he genuinely cares about the progress of his students. It is also clear that he is passionate about teaching his beautiful native Ukrainian language, Ukrainian history and Ukrainian culture to the world.
In addition, Mykola speaks English fluently, so he’s readily able to understand all of my questions and explain complex concepts in English when required. His English fluency also permits him to understand precisely what I want to say and therefore, teach me how to best convey that idea in Ukrainian.
Finally, he’s an interesting person to talk to, even when he’s discussing complex subjects in beginner-friendly language! Thanks, Mykola!

I have been taking lessons with Nick for a few months now. He is a kind and motivating instructor, and has greatly helped me with my Ukrainian reading and pronunciation, always with much patience. Also, he's very enjoyable to speak with, and can speak on a wide variety of subjects. Highly recommended.
