About Me
italki teacher since Jun 12, 2019InterestsFilms & TV SeriesTechHistoryGamingArt
I hold a Bachelor's degree in English Philology and have extensive experience in communicating with native English speakers, as well as in translation work through my role at an IT company.
I'm 38 years old, married for 19 years, and a proud parent to a wonderful 10-year-old daughter.
Philology is my passion. I enjoy poetry, writing songs and verses, AI, history, listening to both classical music and alternative rock, playing the piano and guitar, watching movies and TV series, playing computer games, and much more.Me as a Teacher
I’ve been teaching spoken English and conversational Russian for over 12 years, and during this time, I’ve developed a methodical approach to language learning that’s both effective and systematic. My approach focuses on expanding vocabulary, correcting mistakes, following a structured curriculum, and practicing all key language skills. I also incorporate helpful study materials and other techniques to support learning.
Whether it’s English, Russian, or Ukrainian, I can help you achieve fluency and start thinking in the language. My goal is to guide and support you through the challenges of language learning, drawing from my extensive practical experience and personal teaching style.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching approach is grounded in the theory of practical, natural learning. I’m flexible and can adapt my methods to suit your current needs. At the same time, I strive to create a relaxed and friendly environment during lessons. Typically, my classes are conducted in the target language, focusing on topics that are important and relevant to you, making the learning experience both engaging and effective.
I value your time and suggest we meet:
- Twice a week or more, with a focus on regular conversational practice;
- Once a week, with a focus on homework and in-depth discussion during the lesson.My teaching material

I have been studying English with Volodymyr for two months now. He has developed a special technique that helps me train my English better. We started with grammar, and now we practice reading. At each lesson we talk about news, movies and so on, it's quite fun and productive. Volodymyr can answer any of your questions. I think that with Volodymyr you will be able to learn English well.

I really enjoy English lessons with Volodymyr. I’ve been learning language with him for four months. We speak a lot about many interesting topics, discuss films, news, music etc. I feel that I has become more fluent in English speaking. It’s very important for me. Volodymyr have his unique method of study language. He never interrupt you and we discuss grammar mistakes only in the end of the lesson. His grammar explanation is easy to understand. He always share useful materials.
