A professional teacher with 10 years of teaching experience Hi! I'm a native Eastern Armenian speaker from Yerevan, Armenia. I have a Bachelor's degree in English Philology and a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics. I have 10 years of experience in teaching English and Armenian. I teach both absolute beginners and people with a high level of knowledge, improving their speaking, listening, vocabulary, grammar, etc. Besides the languages I teach, I also speak French, Spanish, Russian and a bit of Greek. If you want to discover the ancient Armenian language or to practice your English with me, feel free to contact me! An important factor in learning a foreign language is the phenomenon of "bookish language". In my courses I provide the real language used among native speakers. My lessons are always planned according to the needs and abilities of my students. Also, I find it very important to make the lesson interesting and enjoyable, having an individual approach to each student.

First of all, I absolutely love my job, and I wouldn’t do anything else but teaching. I love my students, love helping them and guiding them through the world of a foreign language. Nothing can be more rewarding than seeing my students’ progress! I’m patient, energetic and cheerful. I always try to bring some humour into my lessons, because humour always helps to memorise better and to keep motivated. I encourage my students not only to LEARN the language but to actually USE it as a tool for different needs. It's never too early to start reading and watching videos on the topics which truly interest you! I know it from my own experience, and I help my students to find interesting content.

I graduated from the department of languages at University and I have experience in teaching non-native Arabic speakers. I have taught Arabic to a number of students and they all loved the language. I enjoy teaching Arabic to my students. I can teach just adults in a simple and uncomplicated way. We can have conversations together as well as grammar lessons and writing skills. I can also give homework to each student to prepare on their own and then we can review it together during our next lesson. I am so patient, flexible and friendly. I can repeat many times. I am also so flexible, I don't have a problem if a student asks me to change the topic or reschedule lessons....

    I find my lessons with Annette extremely useful for practising the speaking component of the OET. We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time. I really enjoy working with her, and I appreciate that she often extends the lesson by a few minutes to allow us to finish reviewing the corrections or to ask me whether I need any further advice on how to improve my OET performance.

    I have been preparing for the IELTS with James, and I couldn't be happier. His teaching approach is ideal: lessons are well organised, and he always explains things clearly with practical examples. What I appreciate most is that he corrects my mistakes immediately and explains the reason behind each correction, which has helped me improve my writing and speaking much faster. I feel comfortable and confident in his lessons, and I can really see my progress. I would definitely recommend him to anyone preparing for the IELTS

    앤 선생님은 학생이 편하게 대화할 수 있게 분위기를 만들어주시고, 개선점이나 새로운 내용을 전달할 때는 아주 명확하고 깔끔하게 내용을 설명해주셔서 이해하기 쉬워요. 수업이 끝나면 피드백 내용을 파일로 만들어서 따로 전달해주시는데, 그동안 무의식적으로 하던 습관들을 개선시키는 방안이나 구조적으로 깔끔한 영어를 말할 수 있는 표현들도 많이 알려주셔서 복습하고 혼자 연습하는데 도움이 돼요. 경험이 많으셔서 제가 고민을 말하면 교육적으로 검증된 명확한 해답도 안내해주십니다. 수업이 끝나고 나면 알찬 수업이었다는 생각이 들어요! 좋은 스피킹 선생님을 찾으신다면 추천합니다:)

  • huanhuan Zhang

    Learning English

    Under Naphan’s guidance, I learned how to speak English in a relaxed way—no rush, no pressure, no particular goal. Just chatting, going wherever the conversation takes us, and talking about whatever comes to mind. And suddenly, I realized I could speak more than I ever thought I could. I’ve come to understand that my problem was never really my mouth. It was my mindset. The more relaxed I am, the more naturally the words flow. Sometimes, the less you try to achieve, the more you gain. Thank you Naphan.

    I started Business English lessons with Joanna in October through the “Let’s Talk Corporate” programme, and the course has been tailored to my job from the very first session. She took the time to understand my daily work as a database engineer in the utilities sector, then built a twelve unit course around real topics such as metering applications, Oracle PL/SQL, billing logic and system architecture. Every lesson comes with conversation cards featuring realistic role plays between colleagues, with key grammar structures highlighted in context, vocabulary lists translated into Italian and useful professional phrases. A checklist of phrases to use during each session keeps the practice focused and measurable. Joanna is receptive, encouraging and always open to feedback, adapting the lessons whenever I suggest improvements. I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for Business English that is truly relevant to their work.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find an English teacher who also speaks Russian?

Use the “Also speaks” filter on italki to see English teachers who speak Russian. Read their profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check student reviews to find the right match for your learning goals.

How much do English lessons for Russian speakers cost?

Prices depend on the teacher’s experience, qualifications, and lesson type. You can find English teachers starting from $5 to $50+ per hour, and many offer trial lessons at a discounted rate so you can try a teacher before you commit.

Do I need to know any English before booking a lesson?

No. Because your teacher also speaks Russian, they can explain grammar and vocabulary in your own language, which makes starting from zero much easier. Complete beginners are welcome.

What are the benefits of learning English with a teacher who speaks Russian?

A teacher who understands your native language knows the mistakes Russian speakers typically make and can explain difficult points clearly. You learn faster, stay motivated, and can always ask questions in Russian when you get stuck.

How do I schedule English lessons on italki?

Create a free italki account, choose a teacher you like, select a lesson, and pick a time from the teacher’s calendar. You can manage all your lessons from your dashboard.
