My name is Tinatin. I was born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia.
I studied fashion design and my biggest passion is art. My interests include art(drawing, painting, digital and fashion illustration), literature, yoga and spirituality, gardening, traveling, and learning foreign languages.
I've been teaching on itallki for over a year. Georgian is my native language but I also speak English, Russian, and a bit of Italian. My wish is to be able to talk to the language of the place that I'm visiting while traveling. I really enjoy being in nature, especially in the mountains and one of my biggest desires is not to be tied to one place or a city so that I can travel the world.

Me as a Teacher
I started teaching Georgian in mid-2022 and it took me only a week to "fall in love" with this job.
I enjoy meeting new people; I also like sharing my knowledge. So being a teacher gives me an opportunity to have both.
My lessons & teaching style
If you just started learning Georgian, I will teach you the alphabet, reading, writing, and pronunciation. I will teach you basic, most frequently used words and phrases. Afterward, we can move to the conversational part and reading/listening comprehension.
If you have basic knowledge, we can have free conversations during which I will correct your mistakes, give you suggestions, and provide you with new words.
I prefer customized lessons based on the student's needs and experiences instead of having a strict structure since different people might have different preferences, experiences, desires. Therefore, I am open to any suggestions. Let's meet and discuss our own preferable lesson style

I already had several lessons with Tinatin, she is a great teacher. She has a very understandable and relaxed kind of teaching. I feel like I already learned a lot and was able to improve my Georgian. She is very patient and gives useful examples. I particularly like practicing speaking with her. Overall I can only recommend lessons with her:)

Tinatin used a great tool for organizing the lesson. She used a Google Doc with a lesson outlined. As the conversation evolved organically, she added to the doc in real time, adapting it to my interests, situation, and ability. Moreover, the document was organized in a helpful way. She also encouraged me to speak a lot, a little above my level, which is of the utmost importance to me. გმადლობთ!

Great lesson with Tinatin! I've been practicing without lessons for the last year, and she was ready to pick back up where we left off and help me figure out the best way to use our lessons to make improvements where I'm weakest. Looking forward to the next one!

Tinatin does an excellent job understanding her students needs and then teaching to those needs. She is flexible to teach in a way that helps the student best. She has helped me learn things I specifically wanted to practice, and she has brought her own great ideas of what we should study next. She is encouraging, patient and genuinely cares about her students. She both corrects my pronunciation and grammar, and also encourages me to speak without worrying and thinking of all the logic of what I'm trying to say. Tinatin will help you review and strengthen things you've already learned and gently push you to learn new things. She has many helpful resources to pull from. She is able explain the details of Georgian grammar and why it does what and when. She can lead you in conversation or exercises. Tinatin can help you learn. In each lesson you can see the joy she has in teaching. She is an excellent teacher and I 100% recommend taking lessons from her!
