"I started teaching in 2000, a year before I entered a Romano-Germanic Department of Donetsk National University where I obtained an MA qualification.
I have gained and fine-grained my experience teaching at a government establishment, a number of private language schools and as a corporate teacher. I ran a language school as Methodologist at and a Teacher Trainer for 9 years. I hold CELTA and, as part of my research into Emotional Intelligence in Education, take part in international conferences as a speaker.
Pursuing my education, between 2022-2024, I obrained an MPhil in Educational Leadership and School Improvement from the University of Cambridge and an MA in Policy Studies in Education from UCL (London).
I am happy to be still teaching with the same enthusiasm as I did 20 years ago. Join me on this wonderful journey of teachers who make a difference".
