Bio:
I’ve been teaching adults for almost 11 years, starting with Armenian for English speakers before becoming a TEFL-certified English teacher. I love languages and want you to enjoy speaking English. My lessons are personalized, conversation-focused, and designed to build your comprehension and pronunciation. Through engaging topics and plenty of speaking practice, I’ll help you express yourself freely and naturally in any situation.
My teaching methodology:
- Focus on real conversations: We’ll cover a variety of interesting topics that matter to you.
- Personalized materials: Tailored to your learning style, including reading exercises, audio clips, and interactive discussions.
- Pronunciation practice: Targeted exercises to help you sound more natural and confident.
- Regular feedback: I’ll provide ongoing feedback to track your progress and help you improve.
- Interactive lessons: Lessons are customized to meet your learning preferences and language goals.
My teaching background:
I’m a native speaker of both English and Armenian, having grown up in the U.S., Armenia, and Canada. I hold a BA in English and Communications and have been teaching languages to adults for almost 11 years. My teaching journey started with Armenian for English speakers, then I became a TEFL-certified English teacher. I’ve worked with adult learners from all over the world, helping them build confidence and fluency. I’ve also taught at summer camps, collaborated as a translator for online language schools, and worked as a writer, editor, and proofreader. My deep appreciation for language fuels my teaching—I believe it’s our most powerful tool for communication, connection, and understanding.
My background outside of teaching:
Outside of teaching languages, I’m a certified self-development and relationship coach, and I love writing about growth and connection. I also have a background in theater—I’ve worked as an actor, director, and writer. After university, I co-founded and ran an English-language theater group with friends and have collaborated on short films and creative projects for several years. Travel is another passion of mine. I love exploring the diverse cultures and beautiful places our planet has to offer. Each place I visit helps me understand the world—and myself—a little bit better, and I bring those insights back into my teaching. So, if you enjoy travel, the arts, psychology, or personal development, we’re going to have a lot to talk about!
