Über Mich
It's December 2025 -- let's take your academic and professional English to the next level. I have a Master's Degree in English and have taught English Language and Literature for fifteen years to both adults and high school students. Let's work together on the TOEFL, IELTS, or SELT exams!
I also worked in Information Technology for almost 25 years -- interviewing candidates, supervising employees, and training people on policies, processes, and software. Now, I use that experience to help people all over the world prepare for job interviews in English. How does that work?
First, we will make your application materials (CV / résumé / Cover Letter) stand out. Your materials will make recruiters, HR, and hiring managers see the human being that you are. I'll help you to avoid the clichéd and terrible outcome of Artificial Intelligence.
Second, we can have mock job interviews. These practice sessions allow you to perfect your responses to the difficult questions that companies often ask. I'll coach you in giving clear, concise, and realistic answers that will help you to stand out from the crowd.
I am here to help you succeed. My methodology is to strengthen your current skills and then build a plan towards achieving your goals. We use every possible resource to help you communicate more effectively: work emails & Slack chats, books, news articles, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc...
English is a beautiful language. It is also, at times, frustratingly complex. I look forward to helping you appreciate its rules while mastering your communication skills.
Thanks to all of the students who have trusted me as their partner on their English-language journey! 🇺🇦 слава нації

During your trial lesson, we will have a conversation about your academic, personal, or professional goals. Our chat allows me to assess your skills in real time while allowing you to share your experiences with me. You are of course welcome to ask any questions that you may have. I will provide an assessment to you before the end of our lesson, ranking your different language skills on a scale of 1 - 5. I will also share my recommendations on how we could best work together.
