About Me

When I was in school, I studied English alongside my regular studies. This made me interested in foreign languages, and I chose to study Russian, which is very different from English and Persian. After my MA, I worked with several companies for several years, and at the same time I was studying at a language institute. Eventually, I decided to choose teaching as my main field of work. I am very happy to see my students progress, and this motivates me to spend more time with them. I feel good about teaching.

Teaching Method

I usually teach from the Russkiy Sezon and Paykhali textbooks. My teaching method is mostly based on comparing Russian with Persian or English, so that the student can make comparisons in their mind and understand the subject of the lesson faster.
