about ME
Hello! My name is Asya! I am an English teacher.
My teaching journey began 7 years ago when I entered the Southern Federal University and then the University of Minnesota in the USA. During my studies, my approach to teaching changed and improved (and I am still learning!).
I teach American English to adults in an interactive format based on a communicative approach. This means that in my classes I focus on 'live' language and boosting students' speaking skills. I also prepare students for the TOEFL ibt test.
Learning a foreign language is not easy, so my classes are the place for the friendly and safe environment. I am not just your teacher, but also a person who will always support and guide.
Together we will work on your pronunciation, watch videos on various topics, read and discuss not only stories, but also articles in English. In other words, in a combination of useful textbooks, interesting and creative tasks as well as other materials I will teach you to speak English accurately and fluently! I create presentations for my classes as well, that you will have access to forever.
But do not forget that at least 50% of success depends on you!) Consistency is the key to success!
I also try to keep my blog on Instagram. I write about myself, teaching and education. I will be glad to see you there! Follow the link below)
