I am currently a PhD candidate in Physiology, thus, when I am not teaching, I am probably hiding away somewhere in a lab. On the weekend I love hiking, cooking, reading or spending time with my husband and dogs. I worked at a multicultural language school and taught many different nationalities from a beginners level up until advanced and have experience in teaching both group and private classes. In addition to this I've taught private classes in various subjects like mathematics, science, biology and languages to secondary school students for the past three years.

The conversation with Maryna was wide ranging and interesting under many perspectives. We touched on many topics and the lesson was so interesting that I went well over my comfort zone and forgot the usual fear to make mistakes. It should also be highlighted her patience and kindness.Well done!

The trial lesson was great, Maryna prepared great article and exercises about terms and phrases. She understood and could explain in the simplest way the English grammar.

Maryna prepared enough helpful materials so that Mina could learn efficiently. Mina could speak a lot during the lesson, which is very important. Maryna encouraged Mina to speak in complete sentences, which is really good. It was fun and interesting. Maryna is a very nice teacher! Thank you very much, dear Maryna!

Some delays, but adequate. Probably the tutor was not aware of the student presence on time.
