About Me
italki teacher since Dec 21, 2021InterestsWritingScienceTechAnimation & ComicsMusic
I'm a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Toronto, originally from Tehran, Iran. I moved to Canada seven years ago to pursue my studies, and living between two languages and cultures has made me a much better teacher.
I speak Persian fluently and love helping non-Persian speakers discover the language and the culture behind it. Outside of academia, I'm a certified tennis coach and have been coaching since 2019. I also play guitar in my free time.Me as a Teacher
I taught general English in Iran for over ten years as a private tutor and in high schools. Since moving to Canada, I've focused on academic English: helping university students strengthen their writing, edit research papers, and prepare for academic or professional interviews. I've published academic papers in English myself, so I understand what that process actually demands.
I've also spent time studying university-level pedagogy, which has deepened my understanding of how adults learn, how to design meaningful lessons, and how to build student progress step by step toward independence. My lessons & teaching style
In 2016, a visit to elementary schools in Paris introduced me to Freinet Pedagogy and it shifted how I think about teaching. Since then my approach has centered on writing skills, presentation confidence, and learner independence. My goal is for students to eventually not need me: to recognize good materials on their own and keep growing after our lessons end.
I use visualization techniques, videos, slides, and songs to keep things engaging, and I stay current with apps and technology tools. Lessons are relaxed and conversational. Whatever your level or goal, we'll find the right pace together.My teaching material
