Hello welcome
And

Hi, I'm Anastasiia and I'm here to guide you on your self-exploration, self-expression and English learning journey. Whatever your current situation, goals and experience, my task is to help you see your direction clearly and develop as a happier, authentic, self-reflective and autonomous being.
The journey I invite you to share is that of open-minded, mutually respectful discovery aligning us with our unique talents and perspectives. As you are learning from me, I'll be learning from you - from your life stories, feedback, challenges and progress.
Holistic, co-creative learning is about letting a transformation happen without forcing or resisting it. As part of our work together, we may find that time has come to let go of old ways of thinking about ourselves, our environment, the world, the language we speak, among other things, and explore new ones, which takes a lot of courage. It also takes trust, patience and respect, towards both yourself and the other.
If this resonates - do get in touch and we'll see each other in Zoom for an intro chat.

The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.
