Fun Spanish lessons for kids and adults with songs, cartoons and movies

17 £ /h

Hello, my name is Kateryna. I will be glad to become your Spanish teacher. I also speak and can teach Ukrainian, Russian, English and Dutch :) I like to learn new things, especially languages. And also to share knowledge and study methods. I write poems and prose, draw abstractions. I believe in the perfection of the world and a bright future.

I have 3 years of experience as a teacher:
1 year of experience teaching Spanish online;
2 years of experience in private online English lessons;
7 months of offline English language teaching experience for Ukrainian refugees in the Netherlands.

Interesting and fun Spanish lessons for children and adults who remain children at heart.

We watch cartoons, listen to songs, read poetry and prose. We analyze what is happening there, we speak out loud a lot, put pronunciation, do interesting exercises. We also sing a lot - because this is the best way to learn a new language.

I also arrange a practice with a native Ecuadorian. I myself lived in Ecuador and Spain for a long time, and I practice using the language with native speakers every day.

Each lesson is adapted to your individual level, goals, interests, and learning pace. Whether you want to improve your speaking skills, strengthen your grammar, expand your vocabulary, prepare for an exam, or simply feel more confident in English, we will create a learning plan that works for you.
I believe that learning a language should be practical, engaging, and comfortable. During our lessons, you will have plenty of opportunities to speak, ask questions, practice new language, and apply what you learn immediately. I use a variety of materials and activities to make lessons interesting and effective rather than relying only on traditional textbooks.

All my courses are intensive and personalized, focused on your goals.

During our lessons, we will primarily speak Russian, as this allows us to learn the language as quickly as possible. We will read articles and discuss current events. If you don't understand something, I will be happy to explain it to you in French or English.

To make our courses more effective, I use the following approaches:
1. Communicative approach (as soon as we learn a word or grammar structure, we begin to use it in our communication)
2. Linguistic repertoire (we will make references to languages you already speak to make memorization easier and more lasting)

If you want to learn Russian for work, business, official exams, everyday communication, or simply out of love for Slavic languages and cultures, you've come to the right place. If you have other goals related to the Russian language, don't worry. Send me a message describing your situation, and I'll create a program specifically for you.

This class is for anyone who wants to learn Russian in a clear, friendly and practical way — from complete beginners to students who already speak Russian and want to sound more natural and confident.
If you are a beginner, we can start step by step with pronunciation, basic phrases, simple grammar, reading, vocabulary and everyday situations. I will explain everything clearly in English when needed and help you build a strong foundation without stress.
If you already know Russian, we can focus more on speaking practice, fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar mistakes and natural expressions. We can discuss real-life topics such as travel, culture, daily life, work, studies, art, cinema, fashion, lifestyle or anything that is interesting and useful for you.
My lessons are adapted to your level, goals and pace. I believe language learning should feel alive and practical, so we will use dialogues, examples, conversation topics and real situations instead of only memorizing rules.
I am a native Russian speaker with an international background in fashion, branding, communication and content creation. I speak fluent English and I am also learning other languages myself, so I understand how important it is to feel supported, encouraged and not judged.
Whether you are just starting or already speaking Russian, I would be happy to help you become more confident step by step.
