How did your parents bring you up, what was exemplary for you?

A close environment has great importance for the development of a person. Despite the financial difficulties, my family did their best for me to have all kinds of study literature.

I saw one of my students and my eyes filled with tears

The girl enrolled in English and no longer appeared after the introductory meeting. I could not even get in touch and I thought she had changed her mind about studying.

I rested the children on Independence Day, but I heard a sudden call.

Some students are wary and scared when they start studying. The reason is the negative experience in school when the teacher says harsh words and writes two in a journal.

I work separately to correct this mood. I explain to the children that there are friends here and talking is not punished. Even if they answer me wrong, I will move on to another student with a question.

I teach the English language for 30 GEL in a month (less than $10), which is two or three times less compared to Shida Kartli’s prices.

Why so cheap?

My goal is to make learning English available to the wider masses.

Those who are thirsty for education, but with a small family income can not afford 60 GEL.

The main motivator in this process is not money.

I visited the “American Corner” in Khashuri

Director Keti Metreveli and her assistant Mavra Gelashvili met me very friendly.

We talked about cooperation opportunities.

Periodically I will bring English literature, CDs, and board games to Agara that my students will enjoy.
