    LEARN UKRAINIAN EASILY WITH ME. "Unlock the World: Elevate Your Life with Ukrainian Language Lessons!"
    As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education. I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love. My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education. I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.

    Finanzas para niños: Aprende a gestionar tu dinero
    Financial literacy is an important skill for kids to learn at an early age. I know many adults who would have loved learning about it earlier. They will learn about saving money, spending money wisely, and managing their finances. First, they will learn and think about how and why saving money: - short-term and long-term goals they can save for (e.g. a toy, a trip, college education). - how to create a budget and track their spending. - Compound interest and the impact of starting to save early. How to spend money wisely: - difference between needs and wants. - how to compare prices and make informed purchasing decisions. - learn what is impulse buying and method to take the time to think before spending. How to managing money: - Keeping track of spending and creating a budget - Different types of bank accounts, type of money and currencies - learn what are credits, how they work and how it can impact their finances in the future. This class is made for kids, so it'll include use games, puzzles, and interactive activities to help them understand the concepts while having fun.

    Russian Language A1 - C2 / Русский язык и литература
    Hi All, thank you for checking out my course. This class is open to students of all levels. Whether you are only starting to learn the wild-looking letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, or whether you are looking to practise your written and spoken Russian, I would be delighted to accompany you at any stage of your Russian-learning journey. For more advanced students, I would be happy to help you get to know one of the most defining aspects of the Russian language, namely its novels and poetry, which would be a great way to learn about the 'mysterious' Russian soul. I believe that studying in three different countries have allowed me to try out and assess various approaches to education in general and teaching languages in particular - from the rigourous Russian system based on ensuring that the students will obtain exceptional spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation skills, to the more relaxed yet more critical and analytical Western approach, focused on problem-solving and independent work. You will get the benefit of a vast bank of techniques, methods and learning materials that I have developed and accumulated over the past year will be used in class to pique and maintain your interest. And since I was once a language student too, I would be able to share my personal tips and tricks with you to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself - be it being able to wow your friends and family by reciting a poem in the language of Dostoyevski, or impressing your future collegues with the thorough knowledge of Russian current affairs in their mother tongue!
