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.

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

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.

Ще один чудовий урок з Альоною 🎉 This was a really detailed and interesting lesson with various different activities which, although they felt like a challenge, they were not beyond my abilities and I really enjoyed how the lesson made me think about the answers.
