Chess

I’m a former national youth chess champion with a Candidate Master title and decades of teaching experience. Chess has been a part of my life since childhood — a world where logic, creativity, and discipline meet. I’ve taught children and adults of various skill levels, from beginners learning the moves to advanced players preparing for tournaments. My lessons are tailored to each student’s personality and goals. We focus on building a solid foundation, understanding strategy, and developing a creative style of play. I believe that chess is not only about winning games but also about learning to think clearly, plan ahead, and stay calm under pressure — valuable skills for life itself. I would like to say that I am also a mathematician, which helps to better characterize the meaning of chess. If you love chess or simply want to sharpen your mind, I’d be happy to guide you on your journey to becoming a stronger player.

ESL/ESOL

English in 12 days for Armenian and Russian speakers. 12 double classes are required to complete the full online course. As a result, you can even reach B1 (average) level, that is, you can communicate freely in English. I guarantee understanding, talking, reading and writing. The method is used successfully and unmistakable for more than 50 years. This course is the most effective, fastest, cheapest and most convenient language courses.

Religion

I’m an ordained pastor and theologian with decades of experience in teaching and ministry. My academic journey in religion began with a college degree and continued through graduate and doctoral studies in the United States, where I earned both my Master’s and Doctor of Ministry degrees. Over the years, I’ve taught Bible, theology, and philosophy in colleges and churches across several countries, helping students develop a deep, thoughtful understanding of Scripture. My approach combines academic rigor with practical spirituality — bringing theology to life through discussion, reflection, and real-world application. Whether you want to study the Bible systematically, explore theology in depth, or prepare for ministry, I’ll be glad to guide you step by step. My goal is not only to teach knowledge but to inspire spiritual growth and clear thinking grounded in faith.

Russian

I’m an experienced Russian language instructor with a background in linguistics, education, and theology. I’ve taught Russian for many years in colleges and language centers, helping both children and adults achieve fluency quickly and confidently. My teaching method is based on accelerated learning principles — combining modern techniques with personal interaction, humor, and cultural insight. Students often tell me that they start thinking in Russian much sooner than they expected! Whether you’re starting from zero or polishing your conversational and professional Russian, I’ll help you reach your goals step by step. My lessons are structured, engaging, and adapted to your individual pace and needs.
