I am originally from Ukraine ( region Odesa ) and grew up all my childhood thereand I have
lived in Canada for over 5 years and finished my high school in Toronto and was able to
achieve the 6.5 grade ( which is also equivalent to B2 ) for my IELTS exam, which eventually
led me to study in the Netherlands for a Finance major , and currently I am in my second
year of study .

Experience
May 2022 - June 2023
Volunteered for almost a year and gave free of charge lessons for Newcomers to
Canada and those who wanted to prepare for an Interview
● My work involved designing and delivering tailored lessons that focused on practical
communication skills, workplace language, and cultural adaptation.
● This experience allowed me to work with a diverse group of individuals from various
cultural and different backgrounds, which enhanced my ability to adapt lessons to
different proficiency levels and learning needs.

August 2023 - April 2025
More experience : I needed this volunteering experience in order to get more familiar
with a teaching style and gain more experience , so then I built up my account in
Preply ( Website ) and with the previous connections that I had I was able to work with
approximately 5-6 clients per week .
● I pursued this volunteering experience primarily to familiarize myself with different
teaching styles and to gain practical experience in tutoring.
● After gaining confidence from this volunteering experience, I decided to expand my
teaching practice online. I created an account on Preply, an online platform for
language tutoring, which allowed me to reach a broader audience of students. By
leveraging the professional connections I had previously established, I was able to
attract students and gradually build a consistent client base.


Education
2022 - 2024
Diploma earned in a Toronto High school , Burnhamthorpe collegiate Institute ( High
school ) , Toronto , Canada ( GPA : 86% )
● Graduated from Canadian High school in 2024 and received my Diploma (
considered as an International document also )

● I took part in the IELTS test and scored a 6.5 grade on my IELTS exam ( equivalent
to B2 ) and achieved this certificate in 2023 .

2024 - up to now
I study in the Finance and accounting department in the Netherlands , furthermore I
really feel passionate about learning a foreign language and teaching people
something new about that language.
● Learning a foreign language is not just a hobby for me, it is a way to explore new
cultures, communicate with diverse people, and broaden my perspective of the world.
● Teaching a language allows me to see the progress and growth of my students,
which is incredibly rewarding. I find it exciting to create an Interesting lessons that
make learning both fun and effective, whether through conversational practice,
grammar exercises, or cultural insights
