Hi! I’m Andriy — a linguist, translator, and tutor of Ukrainian and Russian (and I also teach English). I was born and raised in Ukraine, and I help students start speaking with confidence through clear structure and real-life practice.
I’m passionate about linguistics, translation, and classical literature (and I also study Latin). This background helps me explain Slavic languages simply and logically — and support you in English whenever you need it.
Me as a Teacher
I have a Master’s degree in pedagogy and extensive experience teaching at school and university level. My lessons are structured, student-centered, and designed to build confident speaking step by step.
How I help:
— guided speaking from the first minutes (no long lectures);
— pronunciation coaching + natural intonation;
— practical language for real situations (travel, relocation, business, social life, work);
— clear explanations in English (and also Ukrainian/Russian when helpful).
My lessons & teaching style
My core belief: a language must be USED, not only studied. Our lessons focus on practical conversation with high-frequency vocabulary, useful patterns, and realistic dialogues.
What to expect:
— professional atmosphere + supportive, precise feedback;
— integrated skills (speaking/listening/reading/writing) without overload;
— short video/podcast materials and tasks that lead to freer speaking;
— clear corrections so you improve fast and stay confident.

Andriy is a fantastic tutor. I've had a few classes with them now, and I'm so impressed with how much thought they put into making each lesson fit my goals. It's definitely not a generic, one-size-fits-all-program.
One of the best things is their focus on pronunciation. Andriy is really great at explaining all the little, subtle sounds of the language, which has been a huge help for me. You can tell they genuinely care that I'm not just memorizing words, but actually learning to say them right.
Because of their dedicated approach, I already feel more confident and can see a real improvement in my skills. I'd highly recommend Andriy to anyone looking for a teacher who truly cares about your progress.

I can't recommend Andriy enough! I've taken multiple lessons now, and I'm so impressed with how much effort they put into personalizing each class for my specific goals. It's clear they don't use a one-size-fits-all approach.
One of the things I appreciate most is the focus on pronunciation. Andriy is very skilled at explaining the subtle sounds of the language, which has been incredibly helpful for me. They genuinely care that I'm not just learning words, but that I'm learning to say them correctly.
Because of their hard work and dedication, I can already see an improvement in my confidence and my skills. If you're looking for a teacher who is truly invested in your progress, you've found them!
