Anastasia Kuguk

Anastasia is an outstanding and passionate teacher! She puts so much time and energy into her lessons and it really makes a difference in her student's learning. She also customizes her lessons based on her student's individual levels. I really appreciate all the effort you are putting into helping me learn Ukrainian. Дуже дякую!

When I took my first lesson I had been studying Ukrainian on my own for a couple weeks. I had never spoken to anyone who speaks Ukrainian, so I was a little self-conscious the first time when someone who actually speaks the language was going to hear me speak it. Within a few minutes I said a word completely wrong. Not one part was right. What happened next I really appreciated and convinced me I had made the right choice in a teacher- she simply told me "no" and started breaking down the word for me. I stopped being worried about being wrong at that point because I knew I was going to get detailed feedback and she was going to break it down as much as I needed. I also really appreciate her answering my many questions and adapting each lesson to what I specifically want to work on while adding things she thinks will help me improve (even adding in a tongue twister in our last meeting, that was challenging but also fun). I strongly recommend Anastasia.

I only knew how to say "Hello" and after my first lesson I can now do a proper introduction. Walks through the words well and really hammers down the pronunciation. Will absolutely continue my lessons.

Anastasia is a very pedagogical teacher and her patience and encouragement are of great help for a beginner like myself. She is always well prepared and for each lesson, she has provided material that is suitable for my level. I highly recommend her as a teacher!

I have had lessons with Nastia for more than 3 years. She does an excellent job at making lessons fun and entertaining. I find they are a perfect mix of spontaneous conversations, homework on vocabulary/vocabulary and cultural discovery. This way I have learnt a lot about Ukrainian culture while covering most basics of the Ukranian language. Дуже дякую тобі, Насте! Україна переможе!

One of the most professional teachers I’ve ever worked with - and I’m in education so I’ve worked with a lot! She’s great!
