English

I teach Farsi and English online. I have worked as a teacher over 15 years, mostly at International Center for Persian Studies of University of Tehran. I have taught tens of students in private classes and hundreds in group classes. I have a PhD degree from University of Tehran. I use books compiled by myself for Farsi teaching and new books for English teaching. I believe teachers and students need to be friends and classes need to be with fun. It makes the learning process easier and faster. Many of my students still send me messages after some years.
Would you like to learn Persian (Farsi) for travel, family, academic research or personal interest? Or do you want to improve your English speaking, academic writing or IELTS skills?
I am a PhD in Linguistics with 15 years of teaching experience. I offer individual online lessons tailored to each student's goals, language level and learning pace.
Persian (Farsi) lessons
• Beginner to advanced levels
