About Me

“Hello friends, I’m Reza. I started learning English when I was 9 years old. Honestly, English wasn’t a planned goal for me; it was a deep interest and essentially a gateway to another world. A world filled with allure, excitement, and countless new joys. Unconsciously, during my teenage years, I spent most of my free time on this new and captivating hobby. It allowed me to experience life in a world vastly different from my own. I was either reading books or listening to music, but above all, I was speaking English to myself. Later, I saw the results of all these efforts, even though my initial intention wasn’t to achieve any specific goal. I hope that I can assist you on your learning journey, so you can also enthusiastically immerse yourself in English. Sometimes, you might not fully understand the meaning of my words until you experience it firsthand.”

Teaching Method

“My teaching method can vary based on each individual’s needs and personal learning approaches. I usually try to engage my students in activities they cannot do alone, such as practicing conversation, correcting it, working on sentence construction, grammar, pronunciation, and similar tasks. However, there are certain criteria that I find crucial to maintain in my classes, such as encouraging frequent English conversations, creating a safe and relaxed environment, motivating students to speak more, incorporating class exercises and games for diversity, following the curriculum as closely as possible, assigning tasks, addressing any issues, and reviewing progress in subsequent sessions.”
