About Me
italki teacher since May 31, 2017Interest topicBusiness & FinanceArtTravel
I'm a Ukrainian national, living in Sofia (Bulgaria) at the moment. I also have mre than 6 years of experience of living in London. I am mostly involved in the spheres of teaching and translating, though I have varied work experience, including maritime transportations, academic work and project management. My hobbies are cooking, hand crafts and languages (more like a passion, rather than a hobby). I love travelling and spending time with my kids and at the beach. I adore art nouveau artistic style and enjoy helping animals.Me as a Teacher
I have two dergrees - a PhD in economics and a degree in English language and literature. Combined, this makes me a great business English reacher, which I enjoy teaching the most. I would also like to highlight the following:
• Over 9 years’ experience teaching English to adult learners.
• Over 5 years’ experience of teaching economic disciplines, including academic teaching and individual sessions.
• CELTA qualification (course accomplished at the International House London).
• Extensive experience in test preparation, namely IELTS, FCE, CAE, CPE
• Knowledge of other languages (fluent Russian and Ukrainian, high level of French, basic knowledge of Spanish, Italian, German and Polish).My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is relaxed and flexible, I try my best to adjust to students' needs. I love teaching online, as this is not only a convenient way to teach and study in the modern age, but as well offers a range of ways to interact with the student to improve his/her language skills. In my more than 4 years’ experience in online teaching, I've become profficient in using various supplementary tools including IDroo, Quizlet, Padlet, Off2Class and other specific language teaching tools.What makes me happy about teaching is when my students feel their progress!My teaching material

I enjoy having lessons with Kate. We always have something to talk about and enough materials to make a progress. I recommend Kate if you want to be better and feel more confident in English.
