Nice and cheerful Ukrainian lessons from a Ukrainian woman.

The emphasis is mainly on the speaking part, because speaking is the goal of language. Grammar sticks by itself :)

We sing songs, watch cartoons, movies, have fun chatting :)

All lessons are individual, we study what will be interesting for you.

Free soul, poet, writer, artist. I speak Ukrainian, Russian, Spanish, English and a little Dutch.

I believe that everything is always perfect and I find the positive side in people.

We can all do anything, the main thing is to have the desire.

Hello, my name is Kateryna. I will be glad to become your Spanish teacher. I also speak and can teach Ukrainian, Russian, English and Dutch :) I like to learn new things, especially languages. And also to share knowledge and study methods. I write poems and prose, draw abstractions. I believe in the perfection of the world and a bright future.

I have 3 years of experience as a teacher:
1 year of experience teaching Spanish online;
2 years of experience in private online English lessons;
7 months of offline English language teaching experience for Ukrainian refugees in the Netherlands.

Interesting and fun Spanish lessons for children and adults who remain children at heart.

We watch cartoons, listen to songs, read poetry and prose. We analyze what is happening there, we speak out loud a lot, put pronunciation, do interesting exercises. We also sing a lot - because this is the best way to learn a new language.

I also arrange a practice with a native Ecuadorian. I myself lived in Ecuador and Spain for a long time, and I practice using the language with native speakers every day.

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina
