Oksana S

Hello, dear students! My name is Oksana and I have been working with ZaZa school for 3 years.
I have always wanted to become a teacher – I was lucky with teachers at school and university – they were my role models, that’s why I decided to become one of them.
Languages have always been my passion. This was the area where I was truly successful. Except for English I also speak French, Spanish and some Hindi, as I live in India!
I studied philology in Kharkov National University, named after V.N. Karazin, I also participated in teaching workshops at different points of time.
Here at ZaZa I teach General French and English course, Business English (communication skills, presentations, negotiations), I also prepare for TOEFL and IELTS.
I have been a teacher for the past 10 years. I have taught in universities, language schools, and secondary schools in Ukraine, Belgium and India.
During my lessons we will speak as much English or French (I also teach French) as it’s possible. A language can be learnt only through its active usage. My students say that our lessons pass too quickly – we have fun, talk, discuss interesting topics and time just flies! I make sure that we use actual grammar, vocabulary and make fewer and fewer mistakes. We are not only going to speak – reading, listening and writing are as important! We are going to read and listen to different passages during lessons and at home you will practice your writing (which is compulsory).I will provide additional materials such as books and videos, with which you could work on in your free time.
I believe that learning can happen only in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, so please smile, be happy, and I’ll make sure that I’m doing my best!
