Hello everybody! My name is Ruzana and I am an English, Russian, and Georgian language teacher. What is more, Russian and Georgia are my mother tongues.
My teaching method is a student-based approach, which means that I always listen to my students' needs and consider their desires regarding the style of language learning.
As for my education: I finished Russian school and studied in Georgian universities, the field of studies was English language and Literature. Moreover, I have a unique experience in learning and teaching abroad, I studied in Sweden for one year at Malmo University.
Me as a Teacher
I studied English Language and Literature at Sokhumi State University for three years; afterward, I won in a contest and studied as an exchange student at Malmö University, in Malmö, Sweden, for a year. After returning home, I decided to teach only. However, after a year I started studying for a master's degree in English Philology at Ilia State University. Shortly after, I found out that I love teaching English more than just doing research or reading theories, thus I enrolled in a Teacher Training Educational Program (English Language for Primary/Lower/Upper Secondary School and studied for a year.
My lessons & teaching style
As I have already stated, I teach English, Georgian, and Russian at all levels. My method of study is a student-based approach. Therefore, my lessons will be planned beforehand with a student. If you are a beginner, we will start by learning the alphabet and move on reasonably. If you are an intermediate student we can choose some texts to discuss in the target language or practice grammar. In case you are an advanced student and you are fluent, we can discuss different topics about our countries, etc.
For the past two years I have been teaching TOEFL, IELTS, FCE, and TKT, so if you are interested, contact me.
Thus, I am looking forward to meeting you! :)
See you soon! :)

Ruzana is a great teacher. With her help, I've gone from hardly knowing any Georgian to being able to construct complex sentences. I've also been able to use what I've learned in my day-to-day life in Georgia. She's very professional, knowledgeable and adaptable to different student's needs. I highly recommend her.

Ruzana is an excellent teacher and was able to explain everything that I was wondering about, and event patient enough to wait around when it turned out that I was running late to the lesson. Thank you Ruzana! დიდა მადლობა!

Had two lessons. They were given from a phone in constant movement, with background noise from a kid screaming every couple of minutes, and occasionally appearing on camera (tutor didn't apologize for that even once). No ppt slides or Google docs.

Ruzana is a wonderful teacher. She is SPECIAL because she listens well, teaches calmly and gives great words of encouragement. Today was our first lesson and I loved it. We covered basic greetings and phrases. The lesson was really excellent. She has the best and most supportive attitude. She creates a happy dynamic classroom environment. I am so glad we met.
