About Me

I’m Mariia, a professional teacher with over a decade of experience in education. Since 2022, I have been dedicated to teaching the Ukrainian language to Finns - from complete beginners to advanced learners. My journey in Finland has deepened my appreciation for nature, the serenity of Finnish forests, and the invigorating experience of swimming in cold waters. I bring this same passion and energy into my teaching, creating a learning environment that is both immersive and inspiring.

Learning a language is more than just words and grammar - it’s about culture, connection, and understanding. Whether you’re looking to explore Ukrainian for personal, cultural, or professional reasons, Malva Academy is here to guide you on your journey.
