Your best schoolmate

Alina Harbovska

Hello everyone! I am so excited to introduce myself to all of you. Originally, I am from Ukraine but in the past couple of years, I have been moving around a lot. In 2017, I went to the United States as a part of an exchange program. I spent 10 months studying at Monterey High School which is based in Lubbock, Texas. In 2018, I came back to Ukraine and continued my school studies. After coming back from the US, I knew that I wanted to study in an American-like institution. I started searching and soon it lead me to LCC International University. It is a North-American university based in Klaipeda, Lithuania. All classes are conducted in English and most of our professors come from the US. Needless to say, I am a student of the International Relations and Development department. In 2020, I participated in the Erasmus+ exchange which led me to the American University in Bulgaria. There I spent one of the most unforgettable times of my life. Currently, I am learning Spanish and my dream is to study at a language school in Spain someday. Now, let’s talk about my working experience. I have been teaching English online since 2019. During this time, I have been working for Russian and Ukrainian online language schools and also individually. Needless to say that my students come from different countries. I have experience teaching Russians, Ukrainians, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Polish, German and French. Moreover, I have had the opportunity to teach “star” students. Some of them include a daughter of a famous Ukrainian football player, a wife of a diplomat, and a woman who works in the Ministry of Economics of Ukraine. One important thing to know about me is that I can be both very serious and very talkative. I try to spend a lot of time developing students’ speaking skills but also not forget about some important grammar aspects. I like making new connections and I hope to see you soon in my classes!
