Learn Georgian Language and Find out more about Georgian Culture

If you live in Georgia and you want to communicate with people or if you’re just interested in this wonderful language, then this course is for you! Besides being a native speaker, I’m into linguistics: I’m doing my Masters in Romance Philology (French Philology). I spent a semester in Montpellier, France and studied French and Comparative Literature in Montpellier Paul Valery University as a part of the Erasmus Exchange Program. I graduated in Art Theory and History from Tbilisi State University, so I have a deep understanding of linguistics and culture. Apart from learning the language, you will become acquainted with Georgian literature and culture during your studies.

About Me

My Lessons cover acquiring speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Classes are interactive, I’m open to helping and sharing knowledge, open to students’ questions, making sure that they are fully involved in learning process as it is essential to achieve the desired results. That’s why lessons are animating, lively and full of energy. It’s important to use acquired information (vocabulary, grammar, etc.) in practice, in everyday situations. My students compose their own sentences, dialogues and texts based on the learnt material and afterwards try to demonstrate their knowledge, play different situational games at the lesson.
Playing is a vital part in learning: according to Dutch historian and cultural theorist Johan Huizinga, whose text Homo Ludens researches characteristics and motifs of play, game, every culture and civilisation has roots in play, playing is a free activity, child is imitating real life situations while playing, it is like a rehearsal. Play is an essential part in teaching – the lesson should imitate the game, students should feel themselves free and willing to study, they should play real situational games at the lesson. To my mind imagination plays a significant role in learning, that’s why I always encourage my students to think, to be open-minded, to imagine and go beyond the limits and boundaries of the everyday world - therefore, my lessons are based on not only sharing facts and information, but also helping my students to shape, animate and enliven these facts and information, rehearse and practice real-life situations before they use their knowledge in reality.
Moreover, as a translator, I find translating and interpreting one of the most effective ways to achieve the language learning goals – one realises differences between languages, unique characteristics of the target language while translating. Furthermore, I consider that one should understand the culture of the country where the particular language is spoken in depth, in order to speak this language fluently. Personally I considerably improved my language skills when I watched Downton Abbey and Crown in English, Eric Rohmer’s movies in French, Almodovar’s movies in Spanish, Tarkovsky’s – in Russian and Fellini’s – in Italian. That’s why I encourage my students to read Georgian literature and watch Georgian movies.

Reviews (5)

Mariam is a very helpful and experienced teacher. Her lessons are productive, engaging, and tailored to the needs of her students. Highly recommend!
very pleasant and responsive to my learning needs as a beginner
Mariam is a skilful, bright and passionate teacher. She will explain you a topic thoroughly and systematically, while making sure to put the new knowledge into practice right away. On the other hand, if you are interested in linguistic details of a certain topic, Mariam will easily go in depth, down to etymology, since, besides being a native Georgian speaker, she is also an educated philologist. So, not only will you learn the general material of a lesson, but also discover fun, peculiar and useful facts and words along the way. And I think this is the best about Mariam's style of teaching: it's flexible and adopting to *your* needs and interests. Recommended, obviously!
Mariam is a consummate professional, easy to connect with, and very knowledgable about both teaching methodologies and the structure of the Georgian language itself. I learnt more from Mariam in one session than I would have been able to in a week on my own. Highly recommended.
It has been a very entertaining and close class. You can consult any aspect, from grammar to more cultural topics. I hope I can learn a lot from her.

Melissa
English Lessons with Native English Speaker. For all Levels!
Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a graduate student from the United States. I have fallen in love with Tbilisi and am relocating here full time! I offer lessons to all levels and ages, and can help with public speaking, writing, and grammar. I used to work for the US government as a medical writer and editor and have experience in improving professional writing and correcting grammar. I am happy to help anyone, whether it be structured classes in improving English or just practice in conversation!

Marie-Monique
Certified teacher of French and Classics
I am a certified teacher (I was accepted into the CAPES of Classical Literature in 1999) and I have practiced my profession for more than twenty years in French establishments, public and private, both in France and abroad. In recent years, I have had students from all classes from Sixth to Terminale, and I am familiar with the current programs and exams in all three subjects. I am used to preparing students for various exams (DNB and baccalaureate), including oral exams. I can give support lessons to students in difficulty, or who want to fill any gaps. I can also help students who simply want to improve their skills. I can also teach Latin and ancient Greek (to students of all levels, including beginners). I strive to adapt to each person, and to define a strategy to achieve the objective they set. I regularly review with the student their progress and what remains to be improved. I also worked with students with special needs (school phobia, chronic illnesses, expatriation, etc.). I am comfortable with digital tools and online courses. Finally, I also have some experience proofreading academic writings (dissertations and theses).

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
