Hi, my name is Marian. I love words and stories. Over the years, I have worn a bunch of different hats: teacher, editor, proofreader, translator, localizer, copywriter, content writer, UX/UI copywriter, content manager, and SMM manager.
I embarked on my linguistic journey first as a teacher of English and German at the universities where I taught students majoring in foreign languages. Later, I decided to shift my focus and entered the IT industry. I wanted to have my finger in the pie of this rapidly developing sphere. I worked at IT startups, where I was a ‘jack-of-all-trades,’ and at large content factories, where I managed content departments and worked with various topics.
I also take on interesting freelance projects and have a couple of pet projects online that I conceived and implemented on my own. My favorite pastime is ‘Playing God’ with words to bring new worlds into existence.
I’m a hardworking, responsible, punctual, and self-demanding soul who is open to new horizons and passionate about developing professionally and personally. I’m a quick learner with versatile interests and an easy-going social mixer.
I teach it to adults and teenagers (Business English; English for IT specialists; preparation for the TOEFL and school/college exams; everyday communication for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students).
