👋 Hi, I'm Denys — a polyglot and language tutor with 5 years of online teaching experience. I teach Russian, Ukrainian, English, and French. I speak all four at a decent level, along with German, Spanish, and Polish, and I use that multilingual background directly in my teaching. When a concept clicks faster through the logic of English or the structure of German, that's exactly what we do. Over 2,500 lessons taught. 74 students from across Europe and beyond. Every lesson is built around you: your level, your goals, your pace. Here's what that looks like in practice: Structured but flexible — each lesson has a clear focus, but we adapt based on what you need that day Interactive web-format lessons — custom digital materials with built-in vocabulary and flashcards, ready for review between sessions No overwhelm, no under-challenge — I find the balance where real learning happens Correction without interruption — mistakes are addressed in a way that builds confidence, not anxiety Outside the classroom, I'm passionate about technology, AI, financial markets, and global affairs. If those are your interests, our conversations will never feel like textbook exercises. Learning a language is an investment in your career, your thinking, and your ability to connect with the world. Book a trial lesson and let's figure out exactly where you are and where you want to go. I'll come prepared with a plan built around you.

I'm really enjoying my lessons with Denys. He provides a lot of background context to new vocabulary, which I appreciate, and takes time to explain complicated grammatical concepts. Great to have focus on conversation too. Отлично!

Denys was patient, encouraging and adaptive. I'm looking forward to the next lesson, and recommend you give him a try. He is very knowledgeable and makes these complex languages feel very approachable. дякую Denys!

My first full lesson with Denys. It was well structured, but flexible and very informative. It wasn't so much like classroom teaching as a collaborative learning process... I felt both challenged and encouraged. Corrections were gentle but clear, and he included small information on everyday use vs textbook wording. Highly recommend Denys for English speakers. He is a pleasure to learn with, and inspired better self study as well.

Great first lesson. Denys wrote a lot of corrections for me that I can use to improve my Russian.
