Xenia the English Tutor

Hello! My name is Xenia. I'm an English tutor, and I'm happy to welcome you here.

I provide individual and group classes, as well as regular speaking clubs, for children and adults.

My Teaching Principles:

Each student is unique. I prepare an individual learning path, taking into account the student's goals, preferences, and learning style.

Mistakes are normal, and the class is a safe space for making them. I help my students overcome the so-called "language barrier" by working with the fear of speaking. Together, we choose the best and most convenient strategy for addressing mistakes and receiving feedback.

Learning is a shared experience. I see the teacher's role as being on the student's side in their learning journey — in a direct, open, horizontal, non-hierarchical way. The teacher is another individual who knows the road and the area, and the student is the person exploring this terrain. My goal is to keep the student's autonomy, interest, motivation, and creativity intact while remaining a supportive companion nearby.

My Methodology:

I work with an eclectic approach, meaning I draw from various teaching methodologies and adapt them to each student's needs. There is no one-size-fits-all solution — what works for one learner may not suit another. The communicative approach is the main thread in my practice, focusing on real-world communication, meaningful interaction, and authentic language. This allows students to develop practical fluency while still building a strong structural foundation when needed.

What I Can Help You With:

Adults:

Boosting fluency and confidence (free communication in everyday life, at work, while travelling, and during immigration)

Job interview preparation

Children:

Developing speaking skills

Preparation for English-language schools

About Me:

I'm a polyglot language teacher and artist. Born in Russia, I studied philosophy and have been living between Georgia and Armenia since 2022, having walked the path of adapting to new countries myself. Existential philosophy has deeply shaped me — both as an artist and as a teacher. As the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote, "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." I'm grateful that in my work I can help others explore and expand their worlds.
