Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.
I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences.
I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.

I am a passionate and dedicated English and History tutor who aims to make learning engaging, accessible and meaningful. In English, I support learners in developing their reading, writing, comprehension, language and critical-thinking skills, while helping them build confidence in analysing literature and expressing their ideas clearly. I adapt my teaching approach to suit each learner’s individual needs and learning style.

In History, I help learners develop a strong understanding of historical events, people and contexts while teaching them how to analyse sources, identify bias, understand cause and consequence, and construct well-supported arguments. I focus on helping learners move beyond simply memorising content and instead develop the critical-thinking skills needed to interpret and evaluate historical information.

My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where learners feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and developing their confidence. I strive to help each learner reach their academic potential while fostering a genuine interest in both subjects.
