About Me
italki teacher since Jan 22, 2021InterestsMusicGamingSports & Fitness
Bonjour, I’m Illia! 🇫🇷🇬🇧 A Master’s-qualified French & English teacher with a British-French fusion (shaped by the European Parliament!). Since 2018, I’ve empowered 1,000+ students to conquer exams, wanderlust, or creative goals - no boring textbooks, just modern technology.
🎵 Music composer & globetrotter: I weave melodies and cultural anecdotes into lessons (10 countries = endless stories!).
🤖 EdTech enthusiast: Think interactive tools, gamified quizzes, and cartoons that make kids (and adults!) forget they’re studying.
✨ Tailored intensity: From playful Duolingo-style drills to Cambridge exam bootcamps - your pace, your passion.

Illia is my daughter's intelligent and compassionate tutor. We support him and continue to schedule lessons, even if he can not be there (at this moment). He is facing the unthinkable in his homeland. I don't know how else to help, except to say that we are here thinking of him and all those who have been forced into this tragedy. We will continue to push for peace and hope for his safety.
