About Me

Hello, I’m glad you’re here. My journey in learning Spanish began at university, where I entered this field with great enthusiasm. From the very first days, I decided that I wanted to teach this fascinating language in the future. As I progressed in my studies, I started teaching professionally from my fourth semester at university, beginning my career at specialized Spanish language institutes. This experience not only helped me deepen my own understanding of the language, but also allowed me to develop stronger teaching and communication skills with students. In the following years, especially with the growth of online classes, I had the opportunity to work with Persian-speaking learners both inside and outside the country. Today, with experience teaching on various platforms, I strive to make learning Spanish a practical, engaging, and goal-oriented journey for every student.

Teaching Method

After the placement assessment, suitable learning materials are selected for each student based on their current level, goals, and individual needs. These resources are chosen collaboratively and in a personalized way. In addition to the main coursebook, we usually use grammar and vocabulary books, and in some cases short stories as well, to make the learning process deeper, more engaging, and more practical. For students at more advanced levels, learning goes beyond textbooks. Through films, novels, podcasts, and authentic materials, we work on developing the language in a more natural and professional way. The classroom environment is designed to be dynamic, friendly, and goal-oriented, so that learning Spanish becomes an enjoyable, effective, and personalized experience for every learner.
