I am Dr. Atena, PhD graduate of Persian literature and language from The Alzahra University. With 15 years of experience in teaching Persian in different universities (4 on italki). I specialize in teaching all levels of Persian from beginners to Advanced. Instead of using a traditional teaching method, I use my own course material, curriculum, and little tips and tricks to make the class easy and effective. For learners at an intermediate level or above, we can explore masterpieces by poets like Sa'di, Hafez, Khayyam and Ferdowsi. I always stay behind my students to motivate them, tailor the lesson to their needs and provide a fun experience overall. ✔ I put forward a unique classroom experience to my students with a multifaceted approach that covers Speaking, Listening, Writing, and Reading skills. ✔ make sure that every session is filled with real-life examples and everyday vocabulary. ✔ teach you grammar notes that complement the other skills mentioned above. ✔ Provide you with Exercises that help you review what we have covered in each lesson and stay on track. ✔ Design a personalized curriculum and materials that are essential to support you throughout your learning journey. The lessons will be tailored and custom made to fit your needs and goals and to make sure that you get the most out of your time with me. our learning will be supported by the help of Persian poetry, music and funny short stories. If you have any questions about my methods or lessons, please don't...

I’ve had the pleasure of studying Persian with Atena for a year now. She is a truly exceptional language instructor! Knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely caring. Her lessons are beautifully structured – combining engaging texts, practical exercises, role-playing, and grammar instruction – making each session effective and fun. She creates a warm, encouraging space, is patient, and corrects mistakes gently. Thanks to her expertise, dedication, and supportive feedback, my language skills have improved significantly. I am so glad to be on this learning journey with Atena and wholeheartedly recommend her.

For nearly two years, I have been taking Persian lessons with Dr. Atena. She has made a tremendous contribution to my learning of the Persian language, as well as Persian culture and literature. With her teaching techniques, patience, knowledge, and the materials she prepares for the lessons, each class is both highly productive and very enjoyable. Thank you very much for everything.

Her remarkable skills, dedication, and passion make Farsi learning both enjoyable & effective. What truly stands out is her remarkable patience, allowing me to learn at my own pace. Under her guidance, I’m gaining proficiency & improving my communication skills significantly. Her classes are not just informative; they’re a delightful adventure in the world of language, and I’m thrilled to continue learning from her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking outstanding language education.

My mind was on other matters today and I really wasn’t in the mood to study. But I’m glad I did because DrAtena is always understanding and gently encourages me to do better.

After internal difficulties in Iran I was so relieved that Dr Atena and her family are safe. I took a long break and much to my dismay had forgotten much of my Persian. But Hey the journey is fun and I'm glad to be back. Likewise I'm sure Dr Atena is glad to be back.
