Hello! My name is Balajakhanim, and I am a certified English teacher with over 7 years of experience in this field. I hold TESOL, IELTS, and Duolingo teaching certifications, and I have had the pleasure of working with students from ages 2 to 65 — from complete beginners to advanced learners.
Me as a Teacher
I specialize in speaking-focused lessons that help you communicate naturally and confidently in real-life situations. Whether you are learning English for school, travel, work, or personal growth, I will tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style.
In addition to conversation classes, I offer expert preparation for international exams, including IELTS and the Duolingo English Test. I can guide you from level A0 (absolute beginner) all the way to C1 (advanced) with structured, engaging, and personalized lessons.
My lessons & teaching style
I am a multilingual instructor, so if your native language is Russian, Azerbaijani or Turkish I can assist you as well with a great pleasure, my dears. ☺️✅
My students are very important to me. I’m patient, supportive, and fully committed to your progress. Together, we will make learning English an enjoyable and successful experience. 🥰🙏🏻
Ready to take your English to the next level? Book a trial lesson on Italki and let’s get started! 🤗🫶🏻

I truly have no words to express what a wonderful teacher Balajakhanim is. In such a short time, she helped me gain confidence in English and noticeably improve my listening and speaking skills. I’m certain that in the months ahead, I’ll continue to grow even more with her guidance. I highly recommend her—her kindness, dedication, and genuine passion for teaching make every lesson special.
