Bio:

Many English learners know grammar but still struggle to express their thoughts clearly in conversation. My lessons focus on helping you speak naturally, think in English, and communicate with confidence in real-life situations and a wide range of topics. My students enjoy our lessons because their English improves through fun conversations as they learn about different subjects. If you want thoughtful conversations, clear feedback, and steady progress, you're in the right place.

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:

My name is Noemi. I'm originally from Armenia but I grew up in the US and Canada, so I am a native speaker of both languages. I enjoy meaningful conversations about culture, travel, art, psychology, science and personal growth. If you enjoy thoughtful discussions and want to become more articulate and confident in English, you’ll probably enjoy our lessons.

My background outside of teaching:

Outside of teaching, I love writing and learning about psychology, art and culture. I used to be an actor and director in the theater. I actually founded a theater group with my friends in Armenia where we put on plays in English. Travel is another passion of mine. I love discovering new cultures and beautiful places, and each journey teaches me something about the world—and myself. I bring that curiosity into my lessons, so if you enjoy travel, the arts, psychology, or personal development, we’ll have plenty to talk about. So, If you want thoughtful conversations, clear feedback, and steady progress, you're in the right place.

3 unique facts about me:

I am a third-culture kid - I grew up in different countries around the world, so 'home' is more of a feeling than a place for me.
I love languages and travel - I love exploring different cultures and seeing both what makes them unique and what connects us all.
I'm a writer - I love to write poems, plays and articles, and my favorite writer is Shakespeare.
