Bio
Born and educated in Armenia, after school I studied in Russia but returned to Armenia for family reasons and ran my own business for 10 years. I have worked at UWC for the last 7 years, first as nanny to our international teachers' children and then as Teacher Assistant in the Kindergarten. Family is very important to me: school families and my own. I have two daughters, three granddaughters and a grandson.
What is the favourite part of the course you teach?
Playing with the children.
Which teaching method do you prefer and why?
It's important to give the children more freedom, so that they feel the adults hear them, understand them and take into account their opinion.
Who is your role model or mentor or who inspires you?
My sister was an example of a teacher for me. She always could motivate and inspire me.
What is your life motto?
To be always positive.
What are the three things you can't imagine your life without?
I want everyone to be happy, but my family is the most important for me. Right now, peace is also very valuable and needed. And the third thing is children's happiness and smiles.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Listening to loud music and dancing.
