Sheida-san is the third Japanese italki tutor that I have used and by far the best. I have made more progress in three classes with her than in ten classes with my previous tutor. She understands the difficulties that non-native speakers face because she was in the same situation. She challenges me and finds my weaknesses which has promoted significant growth. Don't waste any more time looking for a Japanese tutor. Give her a chance, you won't regret it.

Sheida is a very good teacher. She was attentive, friendly and really patient. I got what I wanted i.e. a good conversation giving me the opportunity to develop my speaking skills, being corrected and guided on the way. As we are both into Japanese, I sometimes had a hard time not to switch from Persian to Japanese, in particular when we were talking about Japan. But I am convinced that over time this problem eventually will disappear. I definitely intend to have more lessons with Sheida, within the limits of what my tight schedule permits. Thank you. متشکرم۔ دست شما درد نمیکند۔

I just completed my trial lesson with Sheida. She was fabulous and seemed very knowledgable. I appreciated her pushing me to speak. I will definitely be booking more lessons.

It’s been a bit over a year since my first lesson with Sheida, where I started learning Persian from scratch. She took me from there to be able to have a full conversation in Persian. Sheida is a real teacher, she has a wonderful way in teaching languages, she helped me to develop a natural way of thinking in the new language, very effective and enjoying. Other than that she’s empathetic, very very attentive and it goes without saying: a great conversation partner!! I enjoyed every lesson so far and can’t wait for more to come:) Vielen Dank liebe Sheida, bis demnächst :)
