Hi,
I’m a native Farsi speaker and a C2-level English speaker, with a TOEFL score of 116/120, including 29/30 in speaking. I can help you achieve similar results and improve your fluency with effective strategies and practice.
Me as a Teacher
My teaching style is immersive—I believe that to truly master a language, students should engage with its art, culture, and everyday use. I focus on conversation practice and grammar lessons, helping students build both fluency and accuracy.
My strength lies in listening and speaking, and I use a personalized approach to keep students engaged. I take the time to understand their interests and hobbies, incorporating them into lessons to make learning enjoyable rather than a chore.
My goal is to create a fun and interactive learning environment where students feel confident using English in real-life situations, whether for exams or daily conversations.
My lessons & teaching style
Lesson Structure: I like to start by discussing topics that are relevant and engaging, often using real-world examples to introduce language concepts. After that, I transition into grammar lessons, breaking things down into manageable chunks.
Customization: I always tailor lessons to my students' interests and hobbies. This helps make the learning process more engaging and relevant to them.
Speaking Practice: My approach to speaking practice is simple—just start talking! I believe the more students speak, the more confident they become over time.
Grammar Approach: I keep grammar lessons bite-sized and focused.

1 Persian (Farsi) lesson
This was my first lesson with Pooya. I really enjoyed his teaching style. We spent a portion of the class speaking and the other part watching a Persian kids show. He would pause the show after a couple sentences and ask what I understood. He then explained the words I didn’t know using examples in Persian. This helped me understand the words much better than had he just given me English translations. I recommend Pooya to anyone learning Persian. I will definitely be booking more lessons with him!
