Biography
My name is Kseniia and I was born and raised in the vibrant city of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. From a young age, I was fascinated by languages and cultures, which led me to study Dutch at the University of Kyiv. There, I discovered my passion for conveying knowledge and language to others.
Since 2012, I have been active as a Dutch language teacher. My journey began with teaching Ukrainians who were planning to move to the Netherlands for love (with an MVV visa). I loved helping them learn the language and understand the culture of their future homeland.
Over time, my focus shifted to teaching knowledge migrants who want to integrate and assimilate in the Netherlands. It is incredibly rewarding to guide them in acquiring the language skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their new environment.
Privately, I am blessed with a wonderful relationship with my Dutch husband. Although we do not live in the Netherlands, we have built our life in Kyiv. At the moment, we are temporarily residing in the enchanting city of Prague. Here, we enjoy an engaging life surrounded by the beauty of this historic city.
My journey as a Dutch language teacher has not only given me the satisfaction of helping others achieve their goals but has also provided me with a deep understanding of the power of language as a bridge between people and cultures. I look forward to continuing my passion and inspiring others on their own language journey.
