Hi I’m Katya and I run Leleka Tutoring and Translation Services.

Leleka is the Ukrainian for the Stork, and in Russian and Ukrainian culture represents the ‘bringer of good fortune’.

I was born in Ukraine where about 80% of the population speak both Ukrainian and Russian. I am now married and living in the UK.

I trained and obtained my degree at the Kiev University, and worked in the financial institutions for many years.

After coming to the UK to settle I have worked in retail and other customer facing positions, but have still retained my interest in teaching.

I hope to be able to bring all my students a ‘Good Fortune’ in the form of successful examination results, completed business deals, or just conversational skills for a holiday.
