We are a family of five people who strive to provide foreign language education in an underprivileged rural part of Ukraine to kids and help travelers discover Ukraine through its people, cuisine, culture, historical places, and language. Our small family-run language school is a semi-charitable project. We charge very little for language classes. Some students are very poor so we teach them for free. We are looking for native English speakers

From the moment I arrived I felt at home. The family is incredibly welcoming and generous. You don't come just for a job, you are invited to become a part of the family. Elena especially is so invested, passionate and caring. The kids are full of energy, they can be a handful sometimes but around them there is never a dull moment! Most students are happy to come to the school, they're grateful and a pleasure to teach. You may think you're not doing much, but you are. It's a very gratifying job. I really had a wonderful time. Also, safety in and around Kyiv is barely a concern, so don't hesitate!

I came to Vyshenky during a difficult time for the family but I cant help but feel that every expectation I had was exceeded. There is a great value waiting for you in this experience if you're willing to go for it. You will be welcomed with open arms by (temporary) strangers that want you to be and do well. The lessons are not difficult and the students are well-behaved. Elena was a fantastic host and was always ready to assist me when I needed it. I never felt in danger in Vyshenky village and it is relaxing to explore. Theres a bus route that goes to Kyiv from the village center.

I have nothing but the most lovely things to say about Lena and her family. As soon as I walked in the door, I immediately felt like a part of the family. Everyone is so welcoming and they make it so easy to adjust to a place as unique as Ukraine. The two months I was there were some of the best, most fulfilling of my life. Lena is easy to talk to and will help you with anything you need. And babushka's food is some of the best I've ever had! The children at the the school are also so sweet and easy to teach. Seriously, I cannot recommend this experience enough!

The experience was incredible. Elena and her family truly make you feel at home. They were always kind and caring, from picking us up to helping when I got sick. The rooms were big and comfortable, and the food was always great.
The English classes were well organized and not difficult if you speak English. I met amazing students and volunteers from other countries, which made everything even more fun.
And if you are doubting about going because of the war, I can say that Ukraine is a very safe country. People are incredibly hospitable and kind. I truly recommend this experience.
