I am 31 years old and I have life long passions for sports, music and travelling. My favourite sports are Basketball and extreme sports such as Snowboarding and Surfing. I have been playing Basketball since I was twelve years old and my favourite position is Point Guard. I have skied and snowboarded since I was three years old and have even been a snowboarding instructor in my younger days. I surf as a hobby and I have surfed in five countries so far. In 2013, I completed my degree in Musical Composition and have been writing and releasing music every year since that time. I have composed for record labels, short films and theatre performances throughout Australia and Europe. My passion for travelling has taken me to almost every continent in the world. I have travelled to Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania. There are so many beautiful places in the world and I hope to see many more in my lifetime!

I am Australian born but currently living in Bristol, England. I was very lucky to be born with Ukrainian parents so I have known how to speak Russian for as long as I have known English. This made learning my third language, Spanish much easier. So as you can see, I am no stranger to rollercoaster ride of learning a foreign language! My passion for teaching was sparked in 2016 when I decided to teach English as a Foreign Language. I left my Sales position in one of Australia’s biggest retailers and travelled to Europe complete my CELTA certificate. There are many similarities between Sales and Teaching; engaging people, providing them with the necessary knowledge they need to solve an issue in their lives and doing so in an enjoyable and friendly manner. In the past two years, I have taught adults and children from many cultural backgrounds, both online and in the classroom. I have developed my skills as a teacher and I have used my Sales/Customer Service background to specialise in Business English.
