I'm a dedicated polyglot with a passion for language learning that has led me to master four foreign languages in adulthood. My journey underscores the belief that with perseverance and effective strategies, anyone can conquer even the most challenging languages. Through my academic pursuits and personal experiences, I bring a wealth of knowledge and insight to my language tutoring sessions on italki. I'm excited to share my expertise and help learners embark on their own rewarding language learning journeys.
Me as a Teacher
As an experienced language instructor, I've dedicated the past three years to teaching Western/Eastern Armenian and Turkish. This hands-on experience has honed my teaching skills and deepened my understanding of effective language instruction methods. Whether guiding beginners through the basics or helping advanced learners refine their skills, I prioritize creating engaging and dynamic lessons that cater to individual learning styles.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is centred around providing ample practice opportunities and prioritizing speaking skills. I host one-hour speaking classes where students engage in discussions on topics like philosophy, societal issues, or science, chosen to enhance their language proficiency. Drawing from my own language learning challenges, I understand the importance of speaking fluency and tailor my approach to address this. By immersing students in real-life conversations, I aim to boost their confidence and foster linguistic growth.

Today I had my first Western Armenian lesson with Artashes. He is a very patient tutor. Within a few minutes I had recovered most of my rusty W. Armenian and we managed to have some short conversations about our lives. He taught many interesting things about the orthography and the grammar. Highly recommended!

It was an enjoyable first lesson, very friendly and adaptable to your needs. He communicates well and has great ideas for resources I can use for my language goals. Now it's up to me to continue to be persistent with my learning! 🙃
