About Team New

Hi! My name is Anna. I’m a friendly, compassionate and enthusiastic coach with a diverse professional background in teaching Ukrainian and Russian languages as foreign. I have been working at Novamova for the last 10 years. I love working for a values-led company that puts professionalism at the heart of what they do. My approach to teaching leans heavily on my personal interest in linguistics. I believe in lessons that are engaging, relevant, and fun, and build real confidence in your abilities. You’ll be energised and inspired to reach your academic goals and achieve your full potential.

Welcome to our language school! I am a Ukrainian language teacher. I bring years of experience teaching Ukrainian to foreigners and a passion for helping students reach their full potential. Together, we'll immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Ukrainian language and culture, making each lesson dynamic, engaging, and tailored just for you. Let's break the language barrier and open the door to new opportunities!

I absolutely love my job! I get to see the entire learning process, all the way from when students know nothing about the language and cannot speak, to the point when they can communicate freely. This is a real joy to observe. I love creative people who strive to improve themselves. I don’t put up with ignorance or a lack of humor. I believe that a foreign language can be learned at any age, if one has the desire!

I have been teaching Russian as a foreign language for over 20 years in various roles that included the preparatory faculty for foreign students in Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, advanced Russian instruction and teacher training and retraining center for foreign citizens. I have published 15 scientific articles and textbooks on methods of teaching foreign languages.

For me it is more a hobby than a job. I like travelling and enjoy learning about new cultures. I have been in their shoes, and that is why I love helping foreigners learn about the culture of Ukraine. I cherish the warm and friendly atmosphere that our school creates and hope to instill a love for the Russian language in my students. Hope to see you in my class!

I am a happy person, because I have a job I love. Working with students from different countries, I discover many new and interesting things myself. I introduce to students the culture of my country and learn a lot about the culture of their countries. Getting to know each other, we become closer to one another and keep in our hearts warm memories about time we spent together.

I consider myself very lucky in my life because I love my job. Russian is the language of great literature, and I want more people to be able to read the great works of Russian writers in the original. Learning a language is not a routine, but an entertaining journey. I'm happy to help those who want to learn and to discover.

I was born in the Western Urals in the city of Perm. Now I live and work in the capital of Ukraine - Kyiv, which has very friendly atmosphere and very polite and broadminded local people. My classes based on the communicative and linguoculturological teaching methods. I try to understand each student because for me it is very important to find the individual approach to any person.

There's nowhere I'd rather be working than at NovaMova. I like everything - the terrific creative atmosphere, the wonderful people, and the interesting teaching methods that combine original and creative methods with classical teaching techniques. I especially like the club atmosphere that develops and enriches every student.

I love the friendly atmosphere that develops at NovaMova as teachers and students become united by their common purpose: learning the Russian language. This atmosphere is perfect for working both individually and in groups as well as for developing best personal qualities in students and teachers. Studying Russian isn't scary, but actually quite interesting. Russian is interesting because of its «great and mighty» heritage, because of the wealth of its vocabulary and style of word formation, and because of the all the great classics and the depth of the Russian soul.

I've been working at NovaMova for a short time (since 2013), and I have felt comfortable since the beginning. I am happy to be a part of NovaMova family. I'm sure, you will enjoy your time with us, if you decide to join our programs. Our friendly atmosphere and helpfulness of everyone will help you to reach your aim and improve your Russian skills, as well as learn more about Russian and Ukrainian culture and life.

My work is my passion. I love to help foreigners learn Russian. I worked with the people from 40 countries, and taught political science, conflictology, and air navigation courses. I do my best to make each lesson intensive, but not overpowering. And, above all, I seek to maintain positivity among all.

I honestly believe that teaching is what I was born to do. I love being my own boss and creating my own space. I enjoy engaging and motivating foreign students to learn Russian language, literature and culture. Teaching is my passion, long-lasting career, and never-ending learning journey. And it's a wonderful experience for me to work with such a professional and creative team like NovaMova. It's exciting to share in the experiences and to inspire each other.

Studying Russian is a challenging process for foreigners. Yet, it is one of the most rewarding ones. Russian is spoken in numerous countries and is understood in even more countries. Being a NovaMova tutor, I aim to give students the essence of knowledge, enriching their comprehension skills and usage of the Russian language in their daily life, in order to really understand the culture.

Besides grammar rules, it is important to students learn how to feel the language. It does not matter whether you want to conduct important negotiations, read books or buy coffee. You will succeed only if you know the deep meaning of the words.

I have never regretted choosing my profession. I like to communicate with students from different countries and help them to learn Russian. Every time it is new people, new culture, new experience. My knowledge of German is a small bonus for new German-speaking students. The biggest reward for me is the success of my students. I have been working at NovaMova for several years now. I am glad to be a member of this friendly team. Our school is taught by highly qualified specialists and has a warm and friendly atmosphere. Together with knowledge, our students take away memories of a pleasant time spent.

I have been teaching Russian as a foreign language since 1975 both to Georgian students and foreign students (preparatory faculty for foreign students). I cooperated with a number of international organisations as a teacher of Russian as a Foreign language. During the last 11 years I worked in Turkey. It was an interesting experience of teaching in a non-linguistic environment, which came in handy for me now in Georgia. I am interested in working in the NovaMova organisation, because here we have students from different countries and different age categories.

Our work gives an opportunity not only to teach, but also to learn, to expand not only contacts, but also one's horizons.

You'll be surprised, but learning a language can be fun. If you're looking for an easy-going person to learn Russian, then I can assist you 🙂

With over 10 years of experience, I have helped students refine their pronunciation, build confidence, and improve their Russian fluency for both professional and personal settings.

I hold to a philosophy in which the responsibility is on the teacher to make lessons engaging and instructive for each learner.

You can reach your goal very easily and quickly if you have a team of professionals around you. And we the team of NovaMova are here for you.

It is important for me that teaching Russian is an interesting and comfortable process. At lessons we learn the language not only through grammar and vocabulary, but also through real life situations. Studying Russian is a fascinating journey into the world of literature, art and modern life. I like working at NovaMova, we value an individual approach to teaching, we have a friendly atmosphere and the students achieve good results in learning Russian.

I graduated from Tbilisi State University, defended a PhD thesis, associate professor, doctor of philological sciences.

I have been working with young people all my life, I try to teach my students not only Russian language, but also the ability to think, analyse, question common knowledge.

I am communicative and love animals.

I enjoy business and love teaching others how to succeed in business. In 2001, I partnered with Andrei Kononenko to set up the NovaMova International Language School. This has been a life-changing experience for me. I really enjoy what I do for the simple fact that I get to work with such a diverse group of professionals. I cannot imagine how different my life would be if I didn’t get to run this language school each day and meet so many interesting people from around the world.

As a linguistic professional, I pride myself in bringing excellence to the language training industry. As a graduate of Shevchenko University in Kyiv, Ukraine, I am a linguistic specialist in the field of interpreting and translating. I thoroughly enjoy running NovaMova school above all because of the people I get to work with, but additionally helping others to learn to use what began as a foreign language has always been a deep passion of mine.

I have been part of NovaMova since 2003, and it has been an incredible journey. After graduating from the Institute of Oriental Languages and Law with a degree in Japanese Language and Literature, I combined my passion for languages with a career in a dynamic company.

Over the years, NovaMova has expanded tremendously, introducing diverse language programs and opening locations in vibrant cities. Despite challenges along the way, being part of a team dedicated to excellence in language education has been deeply rewarding.

At NovaMova, you’re not just studying a language — you’re stepping into a world of cultural discovery. Each location offers rich history, welcoming atmospheres, hospitable people, and delicious national cuisine.

Whether through personalized programs or engaging group classes, I believe in making every lesson a step toward achieving your goals.

Since I started working at NovaMova in 2009, it has become more than just an office - it’s a family and a way of life. Every day brings new challenges and victories, big and small. NovaMova has given me the chance to grow professionally while connecting with people from different professions and countries, constantly learning and gaining new perspectives.

NovaMova is, first of all, the most friendly and helpful staff in the world and the great variety of different useful and interesting projects for each member. It’s even more than colleagues, it’s a family of people who work for the unified goal – to build the process of studying foreign languages in the easiest and most exciting way to make it clear and available for everyone.

As a linguist by education, I certainly appreciate the fun and challenge of learning new languages. My work at NovaMova has allowed me to effectively use my professional expertise and satisfy the need for a meaningful and rewarding career path.

When booking a language course you aim for the best possible outcome - and we are here to help you every step of the way!

I started my journey with NovaMova years ago at the Kyiv office, and now I’m thrilled to be part of the team here in Tbilisi. Helping students explore Georgia’s rich history, vibrant modern culture, and unique traditions is one of the most exciting parts of our work. I especially enjoy seeing them practice their target language and build real connections by making local friends. What’s better than conversation practice that truly brings language learning to life? This is just one piece of the larger puzzle we work on every day to create our immersive programs. Being part of our students’ educational journeys makes it all worthwhile!

I joined the Novamova Tbilisi office when it opened in January 2023. What attracted me here from the beginning was the amazing team – passionate people who love their work and always help each other. As a program coordinator, my job involves a lot of communication with students, teachers, guest speakers, host families, and more. Besides communication, which is often very interesting, a big part of my role is planning programs alongside my colleagues, something I've always enjoyed. I can say that working at Novamova fosters professional growth, with each challenge offering a great experience.

I’d also like to say a few words about Georgia. It’s a welcoming country with rich traditions, diverse nature, and, most importantly, people eager to share their culture and history with others. This country will definitely not leave students indifferent. Everyone will find something to cherish – whether it's a host family that will make you fall in love with Georgia through warm conversations over a cup of coffee, the delicious Georgian cuisine, or the breathtaking views of Kazbegi.

Hi! My name is Liana, you can just call me Lika, I am the administrator of NovaMova, responsible for the order in the school and preparing educational materials for students and teachers. I know the city of Tbilisi well and will help you with what you are interested to see, learn or buy. We have wonderful teachers and staff and Georgia is a beautiful country with centuries of heritage, it has always been culturally diverse and most people speak at least two languages, so you will be able to practise Russian outside of school. Georgia is renowned for its hospitality and the beauty of the local nature, so even within Tbilisi you will have an unforgettable experience.
