Hello!My name is Armine. I have been giving private lessons of English to kid, teenager and adult learners since 2007 at home, also have got online experience via skype and viber, helped in a local school as a volunteer teacher. In my teaching experience, I am used to keeping a good balance of all four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) and language areas (vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation). I become fully satisfied when I realize that students have already produced the target language and are excited about learning smth new , which in turn makes me feel happy as a teacher. Working with learners , I always try to give them exactly what they need in a patient, positive, and relaxed environment by continually encouraging them. I love getting to know every student, and seeing their skills and confidence improve!
I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing different cultures, like reading, writing comments related to meaningful topics, do Armenian –English translations from various professional fields. I enjoy helping neighbours’, relatives’ or friends’ children doing their English homework, and most of the time, this type of help turns into thorough teaching of a new lesson. I like watching or listening professional politicians, teachers, writers, artists and learn a lot from them.
