About me
I am a professional teacher & translator with over 26 years of experience. I am positive, cheerful, attentive, and responsible. Throughout my career, I have worked with groups of various ages, teaching English, Ukrainian and Russian. I’ve also had the opportunity to work on many translation projects – including text, audio, and live speaking.
I love teaching, because as a teacher, I can positively influence a student’s way of thinking or doing. I enjoy developing a curriculum, testing teaching methods, and working closely with the students. I am committed and motivated to provide the best learning experience and ensure the students meet their personal goals.
I am available immediately for a new opportunity, as I have recently relocated to Lublin, however I am also open to relocation if necessary.
