Objective: I am seeking part-time work either as an English tutor or teacher, or as some other job where strong English is vital to support myself while continuing to live and volunteer in this country. I am from the United States, but have lived in Kyiv since the 16th of March, 2022 performing volunteer humanitarian aid in Ukraine while learning Ukrainian.

Skills: I am a native English speaker, with more than one year of experience teaching. I have strong communication and teamwork abilities from my background in activism and volunteering. I have completed A2 level Ukrainian language studies, and am currently studying B1, so I can communicate basically in Ukrainian as well.

Working offline, I help kids as young as 2 and all the way up to 13 years old learn english through speaking clubs, story time, or language arts, using a variety of activities such as songs, arts & crafts, story time, speaking clubs, science projects etc. It is a challenging but extremely rewarding experience to teach kids. I also work as a general english teacher to 3rd and 4th grade children. I work in two campuses: one in Kozyn, the other in Kyiv.

I have worked as an english teacher with this online company for more than a year now. I create group lessons and speaking clubs about topics ranging from everyday life, to deep psychological and philosophical topics. In conducting these lessons, I teach adult students new key vocabulary, increase their confidence, and explore a vast range of new concepts.

I have been working with this volunteer organization since I first arrived in Ukraine. My role as a volunteer is to help provide expertise on medical and military gear (excluding weapons) to procure and then send to people fighting on the frontline against the invasion. I also help edit communications that are in English (translated from Ukrainian) so that the English text is
better. I’ve also helped teach civilians proper and safe handling of weapons so that they know in case they ever have to fight. Eventually, I focused more on international outreach and answering emails, until I eventually decided to pause my work with the intiative. Operation Solidarity’s mission is to support people fighting against the invasion through harnessing international solidarity, but also to help procure precious medications, and assist refugees.
