Our teachers

Hi, I’m Alla. Since I have always considered teaching to be my cup of tea, I became one, although this achievement did not prevent me from finishing my professional development. Thus, I completed CELTA course as well as got a Cambridge Proficiency in English Certificate (CPE). I’ve taught adults as well as children, in addition, I have become keen on teaching online. Learning a language might be not a piece of cake, although the key to success is to set and achieve small goals regularly.

I wanted to be a teacher since my childhood. Though to be honest, the most challenging subject at school for me was English. Therefore, when I became a teacher of English, I knew exactly how NOT to teach. Being a teacher is not something that you get with your diploma. To teach others you need to always educate yourself. I got CELTA, TYLEC, DELTA certificates that gave me knowledge and made me feel confident and professional. I love what I am doing and happy to be a part of this amazing team.  

I graduated St.Petersburg State University (major - English), Twin School (London), hold CELTA+TYLEC. Organized international conferences, product launches, incentives. 15 years ago started teaching and enjoyed the experience! I like meeting new people! I’ve taught general and business English to various age groups, corporate executives (DTEK, Credit Agricole Bank), civil servants, Security Service of Ukraine, retired military officers (intensive 400-hour course to improve employability skills).

Hi, I am Athmane, a CELTA-certified teacher with over six years of experience working with young learners and adults. I hold two bachelor’s degrees in foreign languages and translation, and I am passionate about helping students achieve their goals. I speak English, Arabic, French, Russian, and Spanish, and I am currently learning Ukrainian.

Hi, I’m Fred. I’m from Sweden, and I’ve been teaching since 2004! I started teaching in China after getting my degree in history and came to Ukraine in 2010. I have a CELTA and a YL extension from International House. I enjoy teaching in general, especially productive skills (writing and speaking). I find online teaching (blended learning and flipped classrooms) fascinating and enjoy trying to incorporate the latest techniques into my teaching, having taken several courses on the topic. 

I never planned to be a teacher, but it was probably written in the stars, and here I am, teaching English and loving it! There are two major reasons why I like my job: Firstly, it provides great scope for creativity and is rewarding in many ways. Secondly, it gives me a strong incentive to learn and improve, which made me get my CELTA (1996), IHBET (2008), IHCTYL (2010), and CAM (Advanced Methodology, 2011), and which has inspired me to learn on a daily basis ever since.

I have been teaching Business English for over 15 years, General English and German for over 20 years. I have CELTA and TEFL. I really enjoy working with children and the elderly, especially when I see progress in learning and can help students develop their communication and listening skills. I am interested in politics, law, sociology, art, AI, software testing and programming languages. I am proud of working with the British Council and fulfilling my potential as a teacher and educator.
