Author, teacher, and a PhD. holder with over 13 years of teaching experience PhD Author | 3000+ Students | Persian with Soul As an Iranian author and English Literature PhD, I don’t just teach Farsi—I weave Iran’s rich history, art, and poetry into every lesson. Since 2016, I’ve guided over 3000 learners from intermediate chatter to advanced literary fluency, using my *Short Stories in Farsi* series to blend grammar with cultural depth. Whether you’re decoding Hafez’s poetry or prepping for Tehran’s bazaars, my approach turns hurdles into "Aha!" moments. Let’s unlock Persian’s magic—one story, one laugh, one *مرسی* at a time. As a university professor with a PhD in Literature, I bring nearly a decade of teaching experience across both online platforms and academic institutions. Since 2016, I have specialized in online Farsi instruction, developing comprehensive, customized learning materials tailored to students of all ages, proficiency levels, and interests. My courses span the complete spectrum from A1 (Beginner) to C3 (Advanced), with each lesson carefully adapted to meet your individual needs and learning objectives.

Wer persisch lernen möchte, sollte diesen Professor wählen. Ali verwendet ausgezeichnetes selbst erstelltes und individuell angepasstes Unterrichtsmaterial, ist sehr geduldig und motivierend. Es schien mir hoffnungslos, diese schöne Sprache zu wählen. Danke, Ali! I highly recommend this teacher to learn farsi!
