Work experience

Speaking Club Facilitator

from 02.2025 to now (1 year 2 months)

Teacher, Professional Preparation Expert, IELTS Teacher, ALL AGES

from 07.2024 to now (1 year 9 months)
OnlyEnglish, Kharkiv (Education and science)

I work part-time as a teacher for OnlyEnglish. I specialize in C1 and B2 coursework, as well as preparation for the standardized tests of various kinds (Duolingo, IELTS, etc.). I prepare students for university interviews and entrance exams, with a focus on rigorous academic writing and application. I also work with Ukrainians who have excellent degrees and work experience, but struggle to find work in the UK that is at their level of expertise. I've succesfully helped multiple students give interviews that were notably well-received, and in some cases securing jobs that had been previously out of reach for these students.

Education

Sonoma State University - Rohnert Park, California, United States (Not in Kyiv)

Sociology, Kyiv
Higher, from 2021 to 2023 (2 years)

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology, with an emphasis on academic development and university-level course design.

Santa Rosa Junior College - Santa Rosa, California (NOT KYIV)

Editor-in-Chief of College Newspaper, Sociology, Kyiv
Unfinished higher, from 2017 to 2020 (3 years)

I was an award-winning Editor-in-Chief of the college newspaper for 1 year. My colleagues and I bravely and dangerously covered wildfires and invented a new curriculum that is still being taught at the Santa Rosa Junior College Journalism Department in regards to disaster reporting. As Editor-in-Chief, helping rookies and first-years get "up-to-snuff" with their writing and reporting was a fulltime job that required my attention on a 24-hr schedule, as at anytime, disaster or a major story can strike. This was really also my first teaching position, as we were a student-run outlet from the ground-up.
