I’ve been studying English with Olesia for two years now, and it has been an absolute pleasure. Olesia always comes to the lessons well prepared and brings interesting topics for discussion. Thanks to her, I’ve learned many new words and I use them regularly.
She explains everything clearly and presents the material in a very structured and engaging way, which makes learning both easy and practical. With Olesia, I’m not afraid to make mistakes because she shows that mistakes are also an important part of the learning process.
She is always supportive and motivating, and her positive attitude makes every lesson enjoyable. I’m really grateful to be learning with such a wonderful teacher❤️

Olesia is a wonderful teacher! A few months ago, I decided that I was going to learn Ukrainian from scratch and, given that this would be my first language in the Slavic group, I started right away with Olesia. I'm so glad I made that decision! We've had more or less weekly lessons since then and my progress has been steady, thanks to her. She's a driven, but compassionate and patient, teacher and she's done a fantastic job of providing resources and introducing me to helpful beginner's media in Ukrainian. She's also got a great sense of humor! The fact that she speaks Italian, too, is a bonus as we often have fun translating phrases into Italian, but her English is excellent, too, which of course I needed since I was starting from A0. So, if you're looking for a Ukrainian teacher, I highly recommend Olesia! I plan to stay with her for the continuance of my linguistic journey!

I started meeting with Olesia a little over two years ago, when I only knew the Ukrainian alphabet. Since then, we've covered grammar concepts like cases and conjugations of verbs in different forms, studied a lot of vocabulary, and done hours of speaking practice. My Ukrainian has improved a lot in just a couple of years and I feel much more confident in my abilities. Several months ago, she helped me prepare for a Ukrainian speaking test, where I was able to achieve an Advanced score thanks to her help.
These days, we discuss new vocabulary from the books I’m reading in Ukrainian and are beginning to analyze the works of well-known Ukrainian poets. It’s been very rewarding to move on to more challenging topics and see how far I’ve come with her lessons. I’m really grateful to have found Olesia as a tutor. She is very invested in my progress and always tailors our lessons to my goals and interests. I highly recommend her to those interested in learning Ukrainian!

She has an excellent plan and structure for learning Ukrainian but is also flexible to tailor vocabulary and phrases to meet my situation. Her ability to explain Ukrainian grammar makes our class time very efficient.

Olesia is an exceptionally competent teacher who immediately understands what truly matters for effective learning. The lesson was incredibly engaging, fun, and not boring at all. The session was dynamic and varied, which made learning both enjoyable and motivating.
I truly appreciate her teaching style, positive energy, and ability to explain things clearly. I’m already looking forward to continuing this journey with Olesia by my side and improving my Ukrainian with her guidance. Highly recommended!
