Anastasia Kuguk

Anastasia is an outstanding and passionate teacher! She puts so much time and energy into her lessons and it really makes a difference in her student's learning. She also customizes her lessons based on her student's individual levels. I really appreciate all the effort you are putting into helping me learn Ukrainian. Дуже дякую!

Anastasia is a very pedagogical teacher and her patience and encouragement are of great help for a beginner like myself. She is always well prepared and for each lesson, she has provided material that is suitable for my level. I highly recommend her as a teacher!

When I took my first lesson I had been studying Ukrainian on my own for a couple weeks. I had never spoken to anyone who speaks Ukrainian, so I was a little self-conscious the first time when someone who actually speaks the language was going to hear me speak it. Within a few minutes I said a word completely wrong. Not one part was right. What happened next I really appreciated and convinced me I had made the right choice in a teacher- she simply told me "no" and started breaking down the word for me. I stopped being worried about being wrong at that point because I knew I was going to get detailed feedback and she was going to break it down as much as I needed. I also really appreciate her answering my many questions and adapting each lesson to what I specifically want to work on while adding things she thinks will help me improve (even adding in a tongue twister in our last meeting, that was challenging but also fun). I strongly recommend Anastasia.

I had the pleasure of learning from Anastasia, I really have fun at her lessons. Her passion for teaching and deep knowledge of the language, made each lesson engaging and insightful. From the very first class, Anastasia created a welcoming atmosphere that encouraged open dialogue and active participation.

Anastasia’s lessons are well-structured and engaging. She has a natural talent for making complex topics easy to understand. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Ukrainian – she truly brings the language and culture to life!

Anastasia is awesome. I really like her style. As an attorney working for an American company, part of my job is managing cases across several European countries. Among many personal and professional reasons underlying my desire to study the Ukrainian language, I hope to one day be able to expand my practice to include Ukraine. I had been looking for a teacher with the patience and expertise to guide me from beginner to professional proficiency (no doubt, a long-term endeavor for me). So far, Anastasia has been perfect for this role. Her lessons are well-structured and tailored to my learning pace. This, along with her incredible patience, makes the learning process both effective and enjoyable. I’m thrilled with the progress and highly recommend her.
