About Me

Hi! I’m Alyona — a Ukrainian teacher, translator, and certified English teacher with a Bachelor’s in Philology. I’m now pursuing a Master’s in Ukrainian Language and Literature.
I help learners of all levels master Ukrainian — whether you’re starting from scratch or want to speak more confidently. I’ll be honest: I love grammar and believe it’s the key to speaking clearly, but lessons are never just about rules.
We’ll practice speaking, listening, and real-life phrases you can actually use. I don’t rely on boring textbooks — instead, I create personalised lessons based on your goals, level, and learning style.
Me as a Teacher
I always aim for a personal approach and try to find shared interests or topics with each student — it makes lessons more engaging and memorable. The more connections and curiosity you feel, the easier it is to learn and retain new material. I believe in creating a relaxed, supportive environment where language learning feels natural, not forced. 😊 My lessons & teaching style
I tailor my teaching to each student because everyone learns differently. Some prefer reading, others learn best visually or through interaction. I always take time to understand what works best for you and adjust lessons accordingly.
I love using fun, engaging methods like games, quizzes, and matching activities to keep lessons lively and effective. Most importantly, I create a supportive and relaxed environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes and growing your skills at your own pace.My teaching material

Alyona is amazing! Had my first lesson with her as a complete beginner, helped me get through the basics and some tough pronunciations. Can’t wait for the next lesson… Bring it on

Video connection via italki was unstable, but she quickly adapted and made another fantastic lesson. I have tried several teachers and she is clearly the best.

Another great lesson with Alyona. She has a good understanding of my current level of ability, and more confidence in me than currently I have in myself - the sign of a good teacher. As always I have come away from this lesson feeling that I have made some progress. Very happy.

My first lesson with Alyona was fantastic. She is very kind, fun, and considerate. She has a positive energy and is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the language. We addressed goals I had (such as improving pronunciation) on day 1 and I'm looking forward to learning from her in the future.

Ще один чудово урок з Альоною, особливо бо перед тим, як почався урок я подумав що я забув як спілкуватися українською 😂 I soon settled back into the rhythm of speaking Ukrainian when we got into the catch-up at the start of the lesson, and that made the listening exercise feel easier
