Svitlana Zadvorna

I teach English as a second language to both children and adults. Lessons are available online, and I can also provide face-to-face lessons in Leeds.

Although I did not previously work as an English teacher, I was fortunate to have excellent teachers who helped me learn English from scratch after arriving in the UK in 2022. Through hard work, determination, and the support of my teachers, I developed my language skills and, in 2026, successfully achieved GCSE qualifications in English Language and English Literature.

My own learning journey helps me understand the challenges that language learners face. I know what it feels like to start with little or no English, and I believe this allows me to support and encourage my students with patience, understanding, and practical strategies.

In addition, I have extensive experience working with children and young people through church volunteering. I taught Sunday School lessons and supported children and youth groups in Ukraine for 15 years and have continued this work in the United Kingdom for the past 4.5 years.
