Tatiana has been living in New Zealand for four years and is originally from Eastern Ukraine. She speaks Ukrainian and Russian. Before coming to New Zealand, she had very limited English, and most of what she learned came from a Pre-Intermediate English paper at university. The teaching there focused mainly on grammar, so she didn’t get many opportunities to practise speaking.

At DynaSpeak, Tatiana feels her learning experience is completely different. She enjoys that there is much more focus on speaking and real communication, which helps her feel more confident.

Tatiana shared that Gennie is a very kind and creative teacher. She appreciates how she always tries different teaching methods to make lessons fun, engaging, and easy to understand. She feels supported and enjoys the positive learning environment.

Her goals are to continue improving her English, find a job after completing her studies, and eventually take an IT course in the future.
