Hi! My name is Olha, and I am a tutor of Ukrainian language. I specialise in teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language. I am fluent in English and Finnish, and I hold a Master's degree in English philology.
I grew up in the Rivne region of Ukraine, and now I live in Finland. Also, I have lived in South Korea for a while as an exchange student, and I am truly curious about various countries, languages and cultures.
My hobbies are cross-stitching, one of the Ukrainian traditional handicrafts, and Ukrainian national dances. In my lessons, I frequently incorporate my knowledge of and experience in Ukrainian culture, literature, and history.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am diligent in planning lessons, patient with explanations, and creative when it comes to the task creation and student engagement. I am flexible with teaching methods, and I always listen to my students' requests and feedback.
I am fluent in English, and I hold a Master's degree in English philology; thus, I am familiar with the concepts of various languages and methodologies of teaching languages. I love both teaching and learning languages; it is truly my passion, which I would like to share with my students.
During my lessons, I will encourage you to speak Ukrainian from day one, even if you are a complete beginner! My lessons & teaching style
With beginners, we start with the letters, sounds, and correct pronunciation while learning basic vocabulary and grammar. Beginner learners need more structured learning, so we will use a course book which covers various topics, such as Introducing yourself, Food, Shopping, Society, Ukraine and its culture, etc, and learn vocabulary and grammar through relevant context. I will always supplement lessons with some fun and interesting activities or games not to get bored and tired with grammar. I will give you homework and additional tasks upon request. If you are a more advanced learner, we can structure our lessons as grammar study/conversational or fully conversational, based on your needs.My teaching material
