Let's get to know each other!
I'm Olena 👋
Certified Linguist & Ukrainian as a Foreign Language Tutor
I'm a native Ukrainian speaker with a deep understanding of languages, linguistics, and cross-cultural communication. I hold a degree in Translation and Language Teaching from Sumy State University, specializing in English, German, and Ukrainian.
My professional journey began in legal and economic translation, where precision and attention to detail were essential. This experience gave me a strong understanding of how language works and how meaning is conveyed across cultures. Building on this background, I expanded into language education, eventually specializing in teaching my native Ukrainian as a foreign language.
Linguistic Expertise
As a certified linguist with extensive experience teaching foreign languages, I apply the most up-to-date, research-based teaching methods to make learning Ukrainian clear, engaging, and highly effective.
A Multilingual Perspective
Fluent in English, conversational in French, and with a background in German, I understand both the challenges and the strategies involved in learning a new language.
Practical, Real-Life Ukrainian
Every lesson is engaging, personalized, and focused on helping you communicate naturally and confidently in real-life situations.
Supportive and Goal-Oriented Learning
Whether you're learning Ukrainian for travel, work, family, or personal interest, I'll tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style.
