About Me

Since childhood, I have been passionate about poetry and storytelling. In school, I consistently achieved my best grades in Persian literature and mathematics. I was always looking for new and creative ways to study. To learn more effectively, I used to create codes and patterns for myself or memorize lessons through poetry. These methods later became the foundation of my teaching style. I started teaching when I was in high school. The positive feedback I received from my students made me even more passionate about teaching. After completing my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, I took teacher-training courses, including teaching methodology, and began pursuing education professionally. When the COVID-19 pandemic began and schools were closed, before online education had become widely established, I became concerned that children might fall behind and forget what they had learned. So I started recording educational stories about letters and symbols and began teaching online. Currently, I am in the process of immigrating to England, and as I became more familiar with the educational needs of children living outside Iran, I eventually started teaching bilingual children as well.

Teaching Method

In my teaching, I always try to make learning enjoyable and memorable for children. That is why I use storytelling, poetry, games, and creative teaching methods. I believe that every person has their own unique way of learning, so I patiently assess each student's level of ability and knowledge. Based on their individual needs, I design the teaching approach and select the most suitable educational tools and books. It is important to me that children do not simply memorize information, but truly understand the concepts and participate in class with interest and enthusiasm.
