Sofiya earned her MA in Teaching English as a Second Language from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2011 and she also holds an MA in Language Pedagogy from the Drohobych State Pedagogical University in Drohobych, Ukraine. A native speaker of Ukrainian with ACTFL superior-level proficiency in Russian, Sofiya is certified as an ACTFL OPI Tester for both Russian and Ukrainian Languages.

Sofiya specializes in Ukrainian, Russian, and Polish language instruction and her research interests include investigating language exchange and how it effects foreign language learning and intercultural communication.
