I hold a Master’s degree in Education and have several years of experience teaching in both formal school settings and informal learning environments. I currently work as a primary school teacher in Georgia and have additional experience in customer service and communication, which has helped me develop strong interpersonal and cross-cultural skills. I teach in both English and Russian, and I am also learning German to better connect with multilingual students.

I use a combination of modern and traditional teaching methods, depending on the learners’ needs and levels. Some key approaches I use include:

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT): I prioritize speaking and listening through interactive tasks, role-plays, dialogues, and group work.

Task-Based Learning: I design real-life activities—like interviews, projects, or presentations—that give students a clear purpose for using English.

Visual and Kinesthetic Learning: I often incorporate visuals, songs, games, and movement-based activities, especially with young learners, to keep lessons active and memorable.

Differentiation: I adapt materials and tasks for different learning styles and levels to make sure all students can succeed.

My lessons include all four language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—with a strong focus on vocabulary development and grammar in context. I also incorporate cultural content, storytelling, and thematic topics (e.g., travel, food, daily life, the environment) to keep the material relevant and engaging.

I aim to create a positive, respectful atmosphere where every student feels seen and valued. I encourage collaboration, peer feedback, and open communication. In my classroom, students are not afraid to make mistakes—they are seen as a natural part of the learning process. I also use classroom routines and clear expectations to support effective behavior and time management.
