Hi, I’m Marila, your language coach, cultural translator, and biggest fan of awkward Farsi voice notes.
If you grew up hearing Persian or Dari at home but never got to own it like your parents do, you’re not alone.
I work with Afghans, Iranians, and heritage speakers who want to reconnect with their roots, as well as curious learners from all backgrounds who are discovering Persian and (Dari dialect) as a new language, without boring textbooks, confusing grammar drills, or shame for “not being fluent enough.”
Me as a Teacher
From “I get what mom says but can’t reply” to full conversations, watching Persian shows without subtitles, and finally feeling proud of your voice, I’ve helped students across the U.S., Canada, and Europe reconnect with Persian and Dari.
Whether you grew up hearing it or you're learning from scratch, I’ll meet you where you are, no shame, no boring drills, just real talk and real progress.
Let’s bring the language home to you, whether it’s your mother tongue or your next big adventure.

I have started my Dari Journey almost a year ago with Marila, I have learned so much during this year, she is the best Dari teacher I could ever wish for. She is patient, kind and has a great way to start with you from A to Z, she has great material which helps you to study after class. I will surely continue with her until I reach the most advanced level that I wish for. Thanks Marila!
