About Me

Teaching has been my passion prior to being my occupation only. I could remember in every field I have entered since childhood, finding a way to help others understand beside making myself understood has been my number one concern. Itzhak Perlman, the great virtuoso and pedagog, once said: “When I teach others, I teach myself. ”

Teaching Method

Although it's hard and unnecessary to fix one rigid teaching repertoire for every student, I can roughly say I usually use “Le Violon” as the main textbook and “Hrimaly”, “Technique” and “Iranian Style method” as the parallel supplementary materials. I prefer to use the “Suzuki” method for children. Our course consists of one online session during the week and exchanging files offline between sessions.

Experience

I have been teaching for almost 16 years now, 3 years of which have been online in addition to in-person lessons. I hold experiences such as teaching in 14 different music schools during these years and have collaborated with up to 10 Iranian orchestras as a player for concerts or studio recordings.
