About Me
italki teacher since Jun 12, 2019Interest topicMusicReadingGaming
I have a bachelor's degree in English Philology and extensive experience in communicating with native English speakers as well as translation activities due to my work for an IT company.
I am 36 years old, I’ve been married for 16 years, and have a lovely 7-year-old daughter.
My passion is philology. I like poetry, writing verses and songs, listening to both classical music and alternative rock, playing the piano and guitar, watching movies and TV series, and playing computer games.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching spoken English and colloquial Russian for over 10 years. I have developed a methodology for effective and systematic language learning. This includes expanding vocabulary (by translating and explaining new words using simpler words and examples), correcting mistakes, following my curriculum, practicing all language skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking), using helpful study materials, and more.
I can help you speak English, Russian (or Ukrainian) fluently and start thinking in these languages. It is my job to lead and guide you through all the challenges and difficulties associated with language learning, based on my practical experience and personal qualities.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is based on the theory of practical natural learning. I am flexible and can adapt my system to your current needs; At the same time, I try to maintain an informal and friendly atmosphere during classes. As a rule, my lessons are held in the target language, and we speak on topics that are important and relevant to my students, so my lessons are interesting and effective. I appreciate your time and suggest that we meet:
- 2 times per week (the emphasis is put on regular conversational practice);
- 1 time per week (the emphasis is put on doing homework, and discussing it during the classes).My teaching material

I have been studying English with Volodymyr for two months now. He has developed a special technique that helps me train my English better. We started with grammar, and now we practice reading. At each lesson we talk about news, movies and so on, it's quite fun and productive. Volodymyr can answer any of your questions. I think that with Volodymyr you will be able to learn English well.

I really enjoy English lessons with Volodymyr. I’ve been learning language with him for four months. We speak a lot about many interesting topics, discuss films, news, music etc. I feel that I has become more fluent in English speaking. It’s very important for me. Volodymyr have his unique method of study language. He never interrupt you and we discuss grammar mistakes only in the end of the lesson. His grammar explanation is easy to understand. He always share useful materials.

I've been taking lessons with Volodymyr since February, and I just want to state what a great, patient, and accommodating tutor he is! I was sick today, and he left the option open for me to come to the lesson or move it to another day. I ended up feeling a little better, and he waited for me to come to the lesson; he didn't have to, especially with the electricity situation in Ukraine due to the war, but he's never missed a lesson, even with the circumstances. He's always kind and our sessions always end up as a thoughtful cultural exchange in both Russian, English, and occasionally Ukrainian as well. Really wonderful teacher and an awesome, interesting guy, I can't recommend him highly enough!

Volodomyr is outstanding as a Russian instructor. His knowledge of Russian literature, the premium materials to get on the path to high fluency is breathtaking. He really exudes a passion for language instruction. This is probably the most I have been impressed for a first lesson since I started using Italki.
