About me

My success story

I began as a teacher, built my own school as an entrepreneur, grew into a Neurolanguage Coach®, and became a licensed Trainer® at ELC Ltd. so I could help others expand far beyond what they believed was possible. 


history

Beginning

At 18, I began teaching English while studying English Language and Literature at the National University of Dnipro, Ukraine. I later earned my Master’s degree and completed the CELTA certification.

Innovation

In 2010 I embraced online learning growing into roles as a methodologist and teacher trainer, pioneering new ways to make education more accessible and effective. 

Leadership

I founded my own online school, English-Up, to help students around the world. From the very beginning, I’ve pursued quality and personalization as my core priorities. 

Evolution

I earned my Neurolanguage Coach® certification, accredited by the ICF and CCE, and I knew right away that it was only the beginning. I wanted to become someone who could help other educators reach an entirely new level in their work. 

Empowerment

So I went through every step, completed the maximum number of accreditation hours with ELC and the ICF, and eventually became a Licensed Trainer® at ELC Ltd. 


Contribution

Along the way, I gained experience working with OSCE missions in Ukraine during both local and national elections, and I also collaborated with British military teams on operational missions across the country. 

Mastery

By now, I have gained over 20 years of experience in online business management and developing personalized educational solutions.


Coaching

My coaching work is fully grounded in the Neurolanguage Coaching® and Neuroheart Education approaches, which I apply with learners of all ages  including through the NLC for Kids program. 

Neurolanguage Coaching Certification

I deliver Neurolanguage Coaching® Certification Training in Ukrainian, Russian, and English, supporting educators in developing a brain-friendly, evidence-based approach to teaching. 

Mentoring and Consulting

I create and deliver teacher-training and mentorship programs that integrate both traditional educational methods and innovative brain-based approaches, providing consulting and practical guidance for educators.

Irina, ESL Teacher

Ukraine / Services: Coaching & Consulting

My insight was about power of these coaching techniques you used to discover very unexpected and absolutely not obvious perspectives on an old problem that held me back. Just during one hour I was witnessing how my true potential was being unleashed and it was amazing, very joyful experience that has become one of the most cheerful moments of my life.

Viktoria, Accounting Consultant & Lifelong Learner

Poland / Service: Discovery Session (NLC®)

I am truly grateful for our meeting, Valeriia. I went through the plan you sent me, and I already love so many points in it. You created such a warm and relaxed atmosphere that I completely forgot how embarrassed I felt about speaking English at the beginning. I’ve always been motivated to learn, but now I genuinely feel ready to start.

Emely, Change Management

Germany / Services: Job Interview Preparation

I truly appreciated our two meetings. You guided me through practicing the interview questions and refining my answers, and having everything written out so clearly made a huge difference. Speaking now feels easier, more natural and I feel genuinely more confident.

Inna, Head of Sales Operations

Ukraine / Services: One-on-One Neurolanguage Coaching

I’ve been working with Valeriia on and off for many years. We first met when she opened her school, and I became one of her very first long-term clients. Through life changes and career shifts, her support was always there, so when I recently felt I needed a new boost for my English, she was the first person I thought of. I was genuinely surprised by how much her approach had evolved. It felt completely new, not something I could understand or evaluate from the very first session. It wasn’t that I didn’t like it; it was just different, deeper, and unlike anything I had experienced before. Over time, Valeriia helped me open my eyes to so many things: the small wins I never noticed, the knowledge I already had, and the progress I wasn’t acknowledging. I explored learning in ways I had never tried before. One of my favourite parts of our work was the communication between sessions. I would message her with short reports of what I watched, what I listened to from my favourite podcasts, series, and videos. She encouraged me to dive into authentic materials: magazines, articles, and content about the things I genuinely love — travel, cooking, art. For the first time in years, I rediscovered interest, curiosity, and joy in learning. I’m still learning now and I’m enjoying the process so much.

Alexandr, Co-Founder of LiveUAmap

Ukraine / Services: Team Coaching (Corporate)

Valeriia is a true professional. Her knowledge goes well beyond language coaching, and her understanding of different professional contexts made the sessions extremely practical and relevant for our team. Working with her improved not only our English skills but also the way we communicate, collaborate with each other, and work with our partners and associates. She brings a unique mix of clarity, support, and motivation to every session. We are genuinely grateful for her expertise, her approach, and the value she brought to our team.

Itai, Senior Software Engineering Team Lead, Locusview

Israel / Services: Corporate Neurolanguage Coaching

I originally came to Valeriia because I thought I only needed to improve my confidence in speaking English mainly for leading meetings with teams from all over the world. I believed that all I needed was to polish some persuasive techniques and that was it. But already from the first session, I realized how many gaps I actually had and not just in confidence. The biggest surprise was grammar. I never thought I could be interested in grammar, but Valeriia showed me a completely different perspective I had never encountered in school. We’ve been working together for about six months, and now I genuinely feel confident not only speaking, but learning. I know how to improve my skills on my own, what to focus on, and how to use the tools she gave me. Thanks to Valeriia, I’m not just a confident speaker, I’m a confident learner.

Kateryna, English Teacher

Germany / Services: Teacher Consultations & Training (Kids & Teens, Group Dynamics)

Lera, thank you so much for our sessions! Your reminder about the importance of rest and not taking students’ behaviour personally came at exactly the right moment. It helped me shift my perspective and realise that reactions inside a group often reflect the group dynamic not my worth as a teacher. I really appreciated having a safe space to speak honestly about the challenges of managing different ages, personalities, and emotional states in group classes. Your insights helped me understand what actually drives certain behaviours and how to stay grounded when the whole group’s energy changes. Your tools for staying calm in emotionally charged situations have been incredibly valuable. I now feel more confident, balanced, and emotionally steady when leading groups even when the dynamics get complicated. Your support has truly changed how I show up in my classroom.

Michael, Student

Israel / Services: One-on-One Neurolanguage Coaching

I needed urgent help to prepare for two important university entrance exams. I really liked your approach, the clear structure, the focused topics, and the way every lesson had a goal. It was exactly what I needed! I also loved how you explained things I couldn’t understand for years in such simple, accessible words. Most importantly, I passed the exam above the required score. Thank you so much, your method truly works!

Tamar, Cardiologist

Israel / Services: One-on-One Neurolanguage Coaching

Lera, you’re truly unique. I’ve known many teachers, both as a language learner myself and as a mother of two daughters, always searching for the right educators. No one else offers the kind of attitude and presence you do. As a client, I feel genuinely valued and that means so much. I know I’m heard. My preferences are respected. You help me become not only a more committed learner, but also a more self-aware person. Your approach lets me see the learning process from a new perspective and even discover things about myself I hadn’t realized before.

Julia, Cosmetics Clinic & Brand Owner

Israel / Services: Group Neurolanguage Coaching

Lera, thank you so much! Working with you felt like growing wings. My small team of cosmetologists and I had to prepare quickly for a major European cosmetology summit and none of us had practiced English in years. But in just two months, we were able to refresh our skills and speak confidently with anyone about my cosmetic brand! I highly recommend Valeriia to everyone especially to those who need fast, focused results and want to work only on what truly matters, without wasting time on anything unnecessary.
