Find Your Georgian Voice - Learn, Feel, and Connect As many languages you know, that many times you are a human being.” In Georgian: "რამდენი ენაც იცი, იმდენი ადამიანი ხარ." By that measure, I’m 2.5 people - Georgian (my native tongue), English (fluent enough to guide you), and a dash of Russian. Hi, I’m Mari - a language lover and cultural bridge-builder.

A few years ago, a friend of mine encouraged me to try my luck as a Georgian teacher - and looking back, it turned out to be one of the most interesting challenges of my life. Before that, I had never been a teacher. And so my adventure began… On this journey, I’ve met many wonderful people from all around the world. Every lesson teaches me something new and helps me grow as a teacher. The feeling of pride and joy becomes stronger each time I see my students enjoy the process - discovering their Georgian voice, finding new ways to express themselves, and growing with confidence. That gives me extra motivation to continue this path with even more passion. There are three main directions I use in my lessons: I Basic Georgian - Here, you will learn the Georgian alphabet - reading, writing, the foundations of grammar and speaking.

Mari is a very kind and diligent teacher. She makes sure that you know and understand what she is teaching you, not giving up until you do understand. She will explain it in various ways if you don't! When she teaches you vocab, she quizzes you on it to make sure if you actually know it or not. She's very helpful and 100% recommend her for Georgian language.

Mari is a fantastic tutor. She uses a combination of textbook and teacher-made materials to make learning interest. Mari is always very clear with her explanations and I really enjoy working with her!

Today in the eleventh lesson we studied the possessive case (for both nouns and proper names), as well as counting up to 100. Georgian numbers are twenty-based (20+15, 3x20+17 etc), so it's quite challenging, but Mari explains the logic and linguistic rules behind. So it helps a lot! Madloba!!
