Cultural center for children Vyshyvanka in Zaandam

Teacher of fine and decorative and applied arts. Graphic designer.

She worked as a teacher in a gymnasium for several years. She repeatedly participated in international and all-Ukrainian exhibitions. She exhibited her works in the Kharkiv Art Museum. While teaching at the gymnasium, my students participated in international exhibitions and art galleries and won prizes. I also volunteer. I study child psychology and art therapy on my own to help children and adults get to know themselves and master their emotions. I like to organize children's parties.

For me, the most important thing is that the educational process should not be restrictive for children, but should be interesting and entertaining.

I am a lawyer specializing in family and civil law, a coach, mediator, and art therapist working with children and families. I have experience in the educational field and in supporting children throughout their learning and personal development processes.

In my practice, I place special emphasis on a child’s creative self-expression through art therapy methods and drawing. I use drawing as a gentle and safe tool to help children explore their inner world, develop imagination, emotional resilience, and self-confidence. Through the creative process, children learn to better understand their feelings, express their individuality, and freely share their thoughts.

I support parents in identifying their child’s strengths and helps them choose an appropriate educational path, taking into account the child’s abilities, interests, and temperament. My mission is to create a space where a child feels heard, valued, and capable of their full potential.

Philologist. I worked as a teacher of Ukrainian language and literature at the gymnasium in my native village in Ukraine. In addition to that, I work as a private tutor, preparing graduating students for the NMT (National Multi-Subject Test).

For me, it is important that children enjoy learning and study in a light and comfortable atmosphere. My main goal is to foster a love for the native language and to make its study engaging and meaningful for modern children.

I come from a family of teachers who taught mathematics, history, and English. By profession, I am a journalist. For more than twenty years, I worked in Ukraine in various media outlets, including as the head of a local television and radio company in the Trostianets community in the Sumy region, just 30 km from the Russian border. I am the editor and compiler of the children’s poetry book “I Am Your Cell, Ukraine” (2016, Kyiv).

With the beginning of the full-scale invasion, I was forced to relocate to the Netherlands with my two children. I joined the volunteer work of the Ukrainian Club in Zaandam. I write articles for the international Ukrainian publication “Nezalezhnist” (The Netherlands) and create in-depth, long-form interviews with military personnel and artists.

On Saturdays, I teach at the Ukrainian school “Vyshyvanka.”
To be able to professionally teach children their native language, I enrolled at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. This year, I am completing my studies and will receive a Master’s degree in Philology, specializing in Ukrainian Language and Literature. I am currently working on the manuscript of a novel about a fallen Hero of Ukraine.

I have raised two children who are highly proficient in two foreign languages and achieve excellent academic results. I am confident that I can pass on to young Ukrainians not only knowledge of history and culture, but also a deep love for their native land.
