Nora Ellison
My daughter really enjoys her animation lessons. She likes being able to work at her own pace and has already learned how to create characters and animate their movements. It’s lovely to see how proud she is of every new project.

How does a Montessori Center work
Three Steps to Mastery
Welcome to the Online School of Foreign Languages!
At Montessori Center, you can learn English, German, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, and Japanese. Lessons take place online with a teacher in real time. We agree on a schedule and the language of instruction—Russian, Ukrainian, or English—before lessons begin.
The teacher considers each student’s level and why they want to learn the language, whether for conversation, study, work, or travel. Students can start from scratch or pick up where they left off.
English:
Liliya Yarmolenko: has taught at Montessori Center since 2015. She graduated from Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University with a degree in Foreign Philology and attended language schools in Germany and Spain. She teaches children and adults, choosing materials to suit their level and goals. Students can study English with Liliya one-on-one or in a small group.
Nelya Kuzmenko: graduated from Nizhyn State Pedagogical University named after Mykola Gogol. She won the Teacher of the Year competition in 2012 and writes academic articles and lesson materials. Nelya aims to make it easy for students to ask questions and try speaking English during lessons.
Liliya Guba: graduated from Kryvyi Rih State Pedagogical University. She has taught university students as well as preschool and school-age children at children’s centers. This experience helps her choose activities for students of different ages and levels. In her lessons, Liliya pays attention to how students use new words and grammar when they speak.
Olena Voronina: graduated from Bohdan Khmelnytsky National University of Cherkasy, where she studied Romance and Germanic philology. She has taught since 2020. Her lessons cover speaking, grammar, vocabulary, and understanding spoken English. Alongside textbooks, she uses texts, podcasts, and videos.

German:
Olena Voronina: offers one-on-one lessons for children and adults. She chooses a program that suits each student’s level and pace. In German lessons, Olena helps students understand grammar, build vocabulary, and improve their listening skills. She uses textbooks, texts, audiobooks, and podcasts for practice.
Spanish:
Liliya Yarmolenko: studied at the Hispania language school in Spain. She teaches Spanish to children and adults, with time for speaking practice in every lesson. She uses texts and songs to show students how Spanish is used beyond the textbook and in everyday conversation.

Russian:
Irina Zvershkovskaya: has taught Russian, including Russian as a foreign language, for more than 20 years. She graduated from the Faculty of Philology at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv with a degree in Russian Language and Literature. When teaching students learning Russian as a foreign language, Irina chooses materials to match their level and goals, from everyday conversation to reading and writing.

She teaches Ukrainian language and literature and has experience preparing children for school and teaching speed reading. In her lessons, Yulia helps students read and understand texts, build their vocabulary, and express their thoughts more confidently.

Japanese:
Liliya Yarmolenko: helps students begin learning Japanese and progress at a pace that suits them. Early lessons can cover basic grammar, pronunciation, and simple phrases before moving on to more advanced topics. Liliya chooses learning materials based on each student’s age and level.
Learning program
In lessons, students develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. The teacher chooses activities to suit their age, level, and goals.
Children
Young learners explore the language through short stories, songs, pictures, and games. They begin with words and simple phrases, then learn to read and build sentences. Activities become more challenging as children progress.
Teenagers
Lessons cover schoolwork alongside topics students care about, such as music, films, sports, and technology. Teenagers read, write, listen, and discuss material in the language they are learning.
Adults
The program focuses on a specific goal: communicating while traveling, using the language at work, continuing education, or preparing for an exam. The teacher helps choose topics and spends more time on the skills each student needs.
How lessons work
Lessons take place online by video in real time. The teacher explains new material, listens to the student, and answers questions as they come up.
One-on-one lessons
In a one-on-one lesson, students can work at a comfortable pace and spend more time on difficult topics. The teacher can see what is going well and where more practice is needed.
Learning materials
Depending on the topic, students work with texts, audio recordings, videos, and exercises. They practice new words and grammar through conversation and other activities.
Practice between lessons
The teacher suggests what students can review on their own: reading a text, learning new words, completing an exercise, or listening to a recording. At the next lesson, students can ask questions about the assignment and go over any mistakes.
Our students’ achievements
Our students’ achievements include higher grades in school language classes, successful exam results, and certificates. Progress is visible during lessons too: students answer questions without prompting, understand more spoken language, and take part in conversations. Teachers help them strengthen these skills and work through topics they still find difficult.
How parents can help
Children are more likely to stay interested when they encounter the language outside lessons too. This does not require long extra study sessions; small, familiar activities can help.
Choose familiar topics
If your child likes animals, find a short book or cartoon about them in the language they are learning. A familiar topic makes it easier to focus on new words.
Return to the language regularly
You can listen to a song together, look at pictures in a book, or recall a few phrases from a lesson. Even a short activity helps children review what they have learned.
Give your child time to answer
It can take a child a moment to find the right words in a new language. Let them finish their thought, then gently suggest the correct phrasing if needed.
Notice specific achievements
“You read that sentence on your own” or “You understood that question without a translation” helps children see what they have learned.
Support and feedback
Students can talk to their teacher about the pace of lessons, difficult topics, and what to practice on their own. If a student’s goal changes, the program can be adjusted.
Feedback from the teacher
If something is unclear, students can ask about it during the lesson. The teacher goes over mistakes and explains what to practice before the next class.
Scheduling and practical questions
An administrator helps arrange lesson times and answers questions about payment and joining a lesson. You can ask about lesson terms and current offers when signing up.
Getting started
A trial lesson is the first class. The teacher will get to know the student, find out what they already know, and start with activities in the chosen language right away.
