About Me

italki teacher since Jun 15, 2024

InterestsWritingHistoryEnvironment & NatureReadingScience

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

I’m a patient, engaging, and goal-driven teacher who adapts every lesson to the student. I balance conversation, vocabulary, and practical learning so you can use the language confidently. With beginners, I focus on speaking early using simple words and useful phrases. I share tips and effective study methods to help you learn independently. My lessons are structured but fun, never boring, and built around your pace and goals. I teach Armenian (Western & Eastern), Turkish, and Ottoman Turkish with cultural insight and real-life language use. My aim is to make learning smooth, motivating, and personal. Let’s learn in a way that works for you!

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.

Ardashes is an amazing teacher, patient and committed. He adjusts his method to the level of the learner and is answering all questions - even if I interrupt him often when he's speaking. He is being supportive and conscientious, which is precious to enhance any knowledge, and brings precious information regarding the Armenian culture and language. Take a class without hesitation!

I have had about 10 lessons with Mr. Keshishyan thus far. He has truly met me where I am at with the language and I am comfortable with the pace of the classes rather than feeling overwhelmed. He is clearly passionate about teaching languages and I am confident I will reach my language learning goals under his guidance.

Artashes is a great teacher, he is very helpful with pronunciation. He does a great job explaining how the language works and is able to relate it to other languages in a very digestible way. He adjusts the speed of the lesson to your uptake of the material. I would highly recommend Artashes as a teacher.
