I have been working as an English teacher for all my career.I started teaching at Kharkiv Polytechnical University where I saw all the weakness of the state eduacation system. Later on I did my best to learn the better and more effective western techniques of teaching. My first trainign abroad was a course in teaching English for Special Purposes in Britain, Plymouth.

After that I had my first Business English job at Philip Morris Ukraine where I had a lot of experience in teaching business people.

The turning point of my career were 15 years with International House Kharkiv where I got experience and skills in using communicative methods to teach students of all ages, levels and walks of life.

Aften infamous events in Ukraine I moved to work in Minsk where I am now teaching students of different backgrounds including IT professionals.

In the modern world English language has become international and has turned into a tool to help people unlock the doors of life opportunities. I see my job as a mission to give people these keys. During all my career I have seen dozens of my students' life stories of the kind and I am proud that I was a part of their development.
