My name is Iuliia, I am 35 years old. Now I live and work in Niigata. I was born in Ukraine. I have lived in Europe, America, and Asia, and one day plan to try living in New Zealand. My hobbies are teaching, yoga, trying new foods, running outside, hiking, and doing whatever makes me genuinely happy. Peace to Ukraine!
If you are interested in talking about traveling, life goals, psychology, and world philosophies send me an email, I'm up for a respectful discussion in English, Russian, Ukrainian, or in Japanese (pre-intermediate, but working on it), and I will always find the time for an interesting class.

Me as a Teacher
I am a licensed EFL teacher and specialize in teaching grammar and accent reduction. I've been helping my students prepare for EIKEN ever since I came to Japan. I had to take TOEFL iBT back when I was applying to the University of Minnesota, and I got 110 points (equivalent to EIKEN 1). If you are preparing for either EIKEN or TOEFL, I have the materials, qualifications, and experience necessary to help you succeed.
Teaching and learning are two of my biggest hobbies. Mastering Japanese is my current goal. I am fascinated by the cultural aspects of grammar, and how different environmental factors shape different languages and mentalities. I am incredibly grateful I can work as a teacher.
My lessons & teaching style
I was born in the USSR, so 1/3 of my education happened in Russian, another 1/3 in Ukrainian, and 1/3 in English (US). Active discussion is the key to fluency. My lessons are 75% discussion. I strongly encourage my students to ask as many questions as possible, the trick is to form the questions on the spot, not beforehand - that's a key to having a 'live' conversation. I provide all the materials; doing homework is optional.
