Biografía:
Hi! I’m Siranush (Sira) from Armenia and I'm here to help students of all ages learn English in a fun, engaging and effective way. My goal is to help you improve your English, build confidence, and enjoy learning. I create lessons based on your goals, whether you're a beginner, traveler, child or learning for work. Outside of teaching, I enjoy travel, photography, yoga, hiking and exploring new cultures. These experiences help me bring creativity, patience and cultural insight into my lessons.
Mi metodología de enseñanza:
In my classes students can expect a friendly and patient teacher who helps them improve step by step. I focus on speaking, listening, reading, writing skills, as well as grammer, with practical exercises fit to their goals, whether it’s business, travel, or everyday English. I use fun activities like conversations, role-plays, and games, plus interactive worksheets and useful online resources to make learning interesting. I share all lesson materials during class so students can review them anytime. I also give homework to help students practice between lessons and improve faster and sometimes include short quizzes or tests to check understanding. Afterwards I provide clear feedback.
Mi experiencia docente:
I’ve been teaching English for over 6 years, including 4 years in Thailand at a school and kindergarten, and over 2 years teaching online. I’ve worked with learners of all ages, from young children to adults, focusing on speaking, vocabulary, reading, writing, grammer and confidence-building. I hold a Master’s in Linguistics, specializing in teaching and translation, and a 120-hour TEFL certificate.
Mi experiencia fuera de la enseñanza:
In addition to teaching English, I also teach Armenian and yoga/meditation. I’m a certified yoga teacher and a translator/interpreter with over 16 years of experience. I’m also certified in HR Management. My background in translation, yoga, and HR has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to connect with people from different cultures. I travel a lot and enjoy the flexibility to teach from anywhere. I speak Armenian, English, and Russian, which helps me support learners from diverse language backgrounds.
