Kyrylo Perederii

I started learning Turkish from scratch with Kyrylo. Even though I had no knowledge of the language, over 15+ lessons we covered a lot of material. Nevertheless, I don't feel overwhelmed and can navigate through and use the acquired knowledge. This is because Kyrylo explains the material very well, recaps where necessary, makes sure a student is comfortable with what they learn before moving on to the next topic. He is really good at adjusting the pace to the comfort and abilities of the student. He is also accommodating of different schedules and abilities to work outside the class -- during busy weeks when I can't progress in Turkish on my own, Kyrylo adjusts class content based on my current needs. I also appreciate use of different sources of learning materials, incl. videos and songs. I appreciate a lot that Kyrylo also shares a lot of his knowledge about Turkish culture, as he spent a meaningful amount of time there himself, so has a lot of interesting stories to tell!

Kyrylo is very patient, he explains to me very clearly and we do exercises together and through the exercises he helps me very well to understand better. I like his classes a lot and have taken quite some classes with him and will take a lot more!

Super good class! Thanks a lot!

The Ukrainian language is deep and beautiful. Kyrylo speaks fluent English, Russian, and Turkish, so he can contextualize the language of the Ukrainian steppe and understands Ukrainian’s uniqueness. Part of Ukrainian’s depth is in its uniqueness and ancientness as the heir to medieval Kyiv Rus. Kyrylo is a Masters degree student at the best university in Kyiv studying language and literature. He lives that depth of Ukrainian that exists in its folk traditions, musical lyrics, steppe inheritance, and world-class literature of highest art. But the beauty of language depends on a poetic sensibility, to evoke and articulate the personality of a language as it brings contours to the world. Some people have that poetic gift and some don’t. Kyrylo does.

Very nice having Ukrainian class today!!!

Very nice talking today! Thanks a lot for the class!
