Tell us why you became a teacher

Be honest, I became a teacher, because I adore my English teacher at school and he was found the way how to share the knowledge and motivate us, students! He was modest, but with big and loving heart!!! I am very grateful to him for my knowledge!!!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My first day at school during teaching practice. I was at the 4 course at the University. I didn’t know how the students will react, but during first class they said, they like me and smile! I was blessed by that smile!!!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Some money I will give to the soldiers in Ukraine that during war lost arms or legs. And the rest I will spend on courses to develop my skills, knowledge and, of course on dark chocolate (it is my favourite)!
