Education

          • BA Yerevan State University, Psychology

Born in the most beautiful city of Yerevan, I moved 2 years later to Russia, having to learn a new language, and then a few years later to Greece - a third language! Missing Armenia very much, we decided eventually to return home to our Mother land. In 2017 I entered medical college and soon discovered that a person's psychological state is just as important as their physical health. Falling in love with psychology, I enrolled at Yerevan State University, and started working in a private kindergarten. I love working with children and seeing life through their eyes. 

What is the favourite part of the course you teach?
I love working in the arts with children when they use their imagination, create something new, express themselves, and develop. It's rewarding for me to be able to play a role in their development.

Which teaching method do you prefer and why? 
The most important thing is to establish an environment aimed at developing, nurturing, and guiding children, and then they themselves engage in the process. They enjoy exploring the world and seeking answers to their questions (why? what is this? what for?).

Who is your role model or mentor or who inspires you?
With children, I want to create! They fill me with freshness, joy, new knowledge, wisdom, happiness, and simply make me grow! They can also teach us a lot.

What are the three things you can't imagine your life without?
Family, music, nature 

What do you like to do in your spare time?
Sing, play board games, walk, read, watch movies
