About Anna
Hello! I am an native English speaker from London with a business background. I lived in Ukraine for 4 years and have worked exclusively with Ukrainian adult learners since 2019.
I first visisted Ukraine in 2016 to see my (now) husband and experience the incredible Lviv Leopolis Jazz Festival. I fell in love with the city and two years later, made it my home. My great-grandmother was from Kamianets-Podilskyi, so maybe I was always destined to return!
In my early career, I worked in HR with large multinationals such as Coca-Cola, Heinz and Standard Chartered Bank. Later, I spent more than 15 years running my own UK-based company, partnering with clients such as Warner Bros, Shutterstock and JP Morgan.
I combine my international business background, training from prestigious institutions in London and Oxford, and my love of teaching to create programmes that have helped hundreds of Ukrainians advance in their careers.
​
I've worked with clients from companies such as Amazon, Google and YouTube; with organisations such as Ciklum, the Ukrainian Cultural Forces and PEN Ukraine; with professionals ranging from entry-level positions to CEOs; and across a wide range of sectors, including IT, HR, sales, finance, agriculture and the arts.
​
Married to a Ukrainian, I speak a little of the language and understand the difficulties of communicating in another tongue. I believe learning should be an enjoyable experience. My classes are fun, interactive, supportive places to help you develop.
​
Today my mission is clear: to help Ukrainians unlock professional opportunities through confident, fluent English.
​
In times when so much is beyond people's control, I believe language can still open doors to new careers, international collaboration, and greater opportunities.
​
I'd love to open those doors for you too. Get in touch!
