History of the Soviet Union - Totalitarianism and Dictatorship

17 £ /h

This course explores the political, social, cultural, and religious transformations of the Soviet Union and its successor states. From the Bolshevik Revolution to the collapse of the USSR and the complexities of the post-Soviet era, we will examine key themes such as totalitarianism, ideology, identity, memory, and geopolitical change. Through historical sources, scholarly analysis, and contemporary case studies, students will gain a nuanced understanding of how the Soviet legacy continues to shape the region today.

Byzantine - Church History, Theology and the Heritage

17 £ /h

This course explores the rich theological tradition of Byzantium, focusing on the development of Eastern Orthodox thought from the early Church Fathers through the fall of Constantinople in 1453. We will examine key themes such as the Trinity, Christology, the role of icons, liturgy, apophatic theology, and the relationship between Church and Empire. Major theologians—such as Gregory of Nazianzus, Maximus the Confessor, John of Damascus, and Gregory —will be studied in their historical and spiritual context. Through close reading of primary texts and modern interpretations, students will gain a deeper understanding of how Byzantine theology shaped the life and identity of Eastern Christianity and continues to resonate in contemporary theological discourse.

Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.
I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences.
I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.
