I`m a passionate language learner and a qualified teacher, all rolled into one.
I like mentoring others to get what they want on their way to language proficiency. I will stay by your side and lead you to the perfect experience in learning.
I`ll be glad to help you in achieving your goals!Me as a Teacher
I´m a qualified German and English language teacher with a Bachelor (and Specialist) degree and more than 6 years of experience teaching in private and public schools as well as online.
At the moment I`m also taking a course for TESOL Certificate in order to find out the best methods to teach language for each individual student.
So why am I a teacher? The answer is easy: I like when people understand things they had no idea about just 5 min ago.My lessons & teaching style
During the lessons we will work with authentic materials that correspond CEFR, ie. we cover all the topics included into each level of language knowledge.
Normally a lesson includes:
- revision,
- speaking practice,
- some new material and practice,
- other stages, considering your preferences.
I would be glad to provide you with quality lessons that will help you understand the language better or I can offer some speaking practice in the languages mentioned.
Before we start I will ask you several questions to make sure our lesson is tailored to your needs.
The lessons can be held on:
English, Deutsch, Українська
I hope to talk to you soon!My teaching material

Teacher’s pick
i am writing this in English ,might be helpful for new students ,
Lera is one of best teachers i have ever booked class with them , she is not native German speaker but in my opinion to some extent its advantage for beginners ,since she know what the problem might new language learner face , she has deep knowledge of German Language , and most important for me is that she has very high level of commitment for the teaching sevice she is providing ,
we don't have any specific book for our lessons , but any time i want to study some parts which is not clear for me , she has a bundle of exercise and related material for the class which usually 1 hour is not enough time to complete all of them ,
thank you very much Lera and i am looking to find free time to book lesson from you .

Valery always prepared for the lesson, she stays focused all the time and leads the lesson effectively but also with an enjoyable and friendly attitude.
She has a lot of patience, and she wouldn't stop before she makes sure you understood everything completely.
Vallery provided me with all the learning material I need in order to make a progress.
She invests time to check my homework and provide me with explanations.
I highly recommend this teacher.
