About Me

I am a teacher, deeply passionate about my profession. My students are my source of energy and motivation, and I strive to be a source of inspiration for them as well. From a young age, I was captivated by the world of books, finding solace and joy in soaring through the realms of captivating stories and fantastical tales. My childhood love for reading opened a door to a long, enriching, and enchanting journey that eventually led me to the Faculty of Literature and the Department of Persian Language and Literature. And so, books, my silent, eloquent companions of childhood, became my lifelong companions, and Persian literature, with its captivating stories, became an inseparable part of my life.

Teaching Method

My teaching methods and the books I use vary depending on the age and interests of my students. For teaching Persian language, I typically use the "Let's Learn Persian" and "Modern Persian Language Instruction" textbooks. To introduce students to Persian literature and text reading, I employ a variety of texts, tailored to their interests and proficiency level. During my lessons, I often incorporate animations, short films, and music that align with the lesson content and relate to the texts. This approach aims to make the learning process more enjoyable and accessible for my students.
