About Me

I am currently residing in Brussels.

Before I was living in Estonia and Italy while originally I am from Belarus.
For over 8 years I professionally deal with social field on daily basis.

When I was about 16 I knew I wanted to become an interpreter. That desire made me go through a highly academic environment of philological studies and pedagogics, what eventually brought me to the field of interpreting in rehabilitation and disaster areas e.g. Chernobyl post-relief field, palliative care. There I worked with a range of clients, from babies to seniors, with diverse positions in society as well as world-views. The topics varied from engineering and medicine to economics and politics.

During that time I make a choice to share my linguistic knowledge and experience, what brings me to an in-depth learning of alternative pedagogics and psychoanalytical studies.

Education

Tartu University, Estonia
MA in Semiotics (Institute of Philosophy) - this degree helps me to take care of your mental health during our interaction, creating a safe environment.

Belarusian State University,
Romance Philology (Italian and French languages) - this degree helps me to understand linguistic needs during the class/interaction.

Lyceum of Belarusian State University,
Slavic Studies (Russian and Belarusian) - this degree helps me to systemise your grammar knowledge and put it in practice.

Experience / Qualifications

Social assistance: is never about "just" an assistance, but a learning curve, which is conscious and highly attentive. I worked for governmental and non-governmental organisations where both boundaries were respected, - of an individual and of an entity thanks to my mediate experience.

Language Tutoring: since 2010 I am teaching languages worldwide. Mostly I work with a language barrier (public speaking, foreign language communication) through bibliotherapy. However, regular methods are never bad, that is why my experience of teaching lies among Italian (PLIDA, CELTA, communication), French (DELF, TEFaQ, communication), English (TOEFL, IELTS, Business English), Russian (pronunciation, communication). I collaborated with different language courses and scholastic institutes, including VIP-teaching and social assistance for adults and seniors, teenagers (12 - 18 years old), kids (2 - 6 years old). I was providing language teaching assistance to corporations as group learning and individuals.

Interpreting and translation: whether simultaneous or consecutive, I am glad to share with you my gained experience and advice. I could help you with editing or translating literary or academic text as well. My working languages in this field are Russian, English and Italian.

All certificates, diploma are available upon request.

I offer personalised Italian lessons for students, adults and anyone who wants to learn or improve Italian in a practical, engaging and motivating way. I have 8 years of experience as a tutor, and what I enjoy most about teaching is seeing my students improve, gain confidence and gradually acquire new skills.

As a native Italian speaker with a strong academic background in languages, culture and communication, I create a tailored learning programme for each student, based on their level, needs, goals and personal interests. Every student learns differently, so I adapt my method to make the lessons useful, clear and never boring or passive.

My lessons can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, writing, reading comprehension, school support or exam preparation. I also teach Italian to people who want to learn it for travel, work, personal interest or cultural reasons.

For beginners, we can start from the basics: pronunciation, everyday phrases, simple grammar and useful vocabulary. For intermediate and advanced students, we can work on fluency, more complex grammar, listening comprehension, written expression and natural conversation.

I like to include real-life examples, dialogues, cultural references and personalised exercises, so that students can immediately apply what they learn. My goal is not only to teach Italian rules, but to help students actually use the language with confidence and pleasure.

Lessons can be held in English, French or Italian, depending on the student’s level and preference.

I have extensive experience teaching Thai to foreigners, including the partners of Thai nationals and children from mixed Thai families. I have taught students of all ages, from young children aged 5 and above to adult learners, in Belgium.

In addition, I owned and managed a language school in Thailand with approximately 50 students and a team of four teachers. The school offered four different subjects, and I was responsible for overseeing daily operations, curriculum development, and staff management.

I also worked as a full-time English teacher at an underprivileged school, where I planned and delivered engaging lessons while supporting students from diverse educational and social backgrounds.

My combined experience in teaching, school management, and cross-cultural communication has enabled me to develop strong organizational, leadership, and interpersonal skills.
