My name is Nataliia.

I'm a professional English Interpreter/Translator and English teacher with over 20 years of experience.

Teaching is not just a job for me; it is a source of joy. I love sharing my expertise, explaining new topics, and helping others achieve their goals in learning English. Everyone has their unique learning path, and I am delighted to be a part of that journey, a reliable guide to new achievements.

I am fluent in four languages, and thanks to my language practice in the USA, I bring an atmosphere of American ease and liberty to my lessons. My TEFL/TESOL certification from the UK offers you the chance to immerse yourself in the refinement and elegance of the British language. With a background in Psychology, my teaching approach is complemented, allowing me to create unique lessons tailored to the individual needs of students aged 8 to 80. In my classes, you don't just learn a language; you dive into a captivating world of communication and culture. I value the uniqueness of each student, always striving to create a supportive and inspiring learning environment. According to my students, the lessons feel like being at home - cozy and comfortable.

Let's open the doors to new discoveries together!

See you in class!
