I help people speak a foreign language with confidence: at a job interview, in an exam, in negotiations and in everyday life.
I started out in 2009 in Kyiv. For many years I taught English and Ukrainian to teenagers and adults: corporate clients, private students, language for specific purposes, and TOEFL, IELTS and CAE preparation.
In 2018 I became a professional Neurolanguage Coach®, certified by Efficient Language Coaching® and accredited by the ICF. I am also a licensed Efficient Language Coaching® teacher trainer in Slovakia and Ukraine.
I now live in Košice and work online with clients from all over the world. We prepare for job interviews and exams, presentations and project reports, business negotiations, business correspondence and the etiquette of communicating in English. I teach in English, Ukrainian and Slovak.
My clients’ feedback confirms it: NLC® principles make learning person-centred, brain-friendly and worth the time and money you put in.

The consultation is about your goals and motivation. We discuss how you like to learn and set a schedule. It lasts from 30 to 60 minutes and is free of charge.
You receive an official offer with all the details of our work together: the course programme, a list of goals and the price packages. Lessons start as soon as you are ready.
From 45 to 90 minutes, depending on your needs, goals and learning habits.
The price depends on the length of the lesson, your learning preferences, your level, the number of lessons per week, the amount of homework and so on. You will receive a price offer after the free consultation.
There is no fixed minimum or maximum: it all depends on your goal. It might be a week of intensive preparation for a job interview or a six-month IELTS preparation course. Many clients, though, choose a block of 10 lessons.
