Teaching experience
2019 - 2022
English teacherI have experience teaching English online at Skyeng, which has given me a strong foundation in online instruction.
I was working as a private tutor for over two years, teaching adults of different ages in online settings.
2022 - 2025
English TeacherI worked with school students (Grades 5–11), following the official school curriculum and supporting learners with grammar, vocabulary, speaking, and exam preparation. All lessons were conducted online, and I regularly taught group classes of up to 20 students, which helped me develop strong classroom management skills, effective engagement strategies, and the ability to adapt lessons to different learning styles and levels.
2023 - 2024
English TeacherI worked with adult learners in group settings, teaching General English and Business English in a corporate environment. Lessons followed approved lesson plans and were tailored to professional needs, focusing on communication skills, workplace vocabulary, presentations, meetings, and real-life business situations. This experience helped me develop a structured approach to teaching while remaining flexible to learners’ goals and levels.
2025 - Current
English TeacherI have been working for a company where I conduct one-on-one and pair lessons, using a communicative approach focused on real-life interaction and speaking confidence. I adapt lessons to my students’ individual goals, levels, and learning styles, using a flexible, adaptive program. This allows me to personalize content, adjust pacing, and ensure steady progress while keeping lessons engaging and practical.

Катя – абсолютно чудова вчителька!
I have now been studying Ukrainian with Katya for three months, and I can say that I not only look forward to every lesson, but I’ve made significant progress. She has spoken Ukrainian her whole life and has a lot of insights into the intricacies of pronunciation and vocabulary, which is very helpful as a lot of people around me tend to mix Ukrainian and Russian. She often plans the lessons herself rather than relying on a textbook, which means that every lesson is custom tailored to my learning needs. She prioritizes my interests as a student so that we can practice talking about them, and she always uses Ukrainian to explain new words or concepts, which is so helpful for re-mapping my own inner voice to speak Ukrainian, which is amazing. My confidence in speaking has increased dramatically. I recommend Katya to all my friends and family, I feel very lucky to have found such a great teacher so early in my journey :)

I can count on the fact that lessons with Katya will be pleasant and even relaxing - her calm and patient demeanor always puts me at ease. And besides that, she has a true talent for concisely explaining grammatical concepts that have long stumped me. I'm happy I am one of her students, and I'm very excited for the lessons ahead!

Katya is an excellent teacher. She is very encouraging but also makes sure you are doing things correctly. It’s clear she has professional experience with teaching- her lessons are thoughtful, thorough and well structured. As a native English speaker, I am unaccustomed to making many sounds in the Ukrainian alphabet, but Katya is incredibly helpful in helping me hear the differences and guiding me on how to replicate them. I have seen people charge 3x as much for language tutoring locally for 1/2 the quality that Katya provides. I cannot recommend her enough!
