Hello everyone! こんにちは! プロフィールを読んでくださり、ありがとうございます。:)
My name is Sheida, and I'm from Iran, currently living in Vancouver, Canada. I hold a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Japanese Literature and Education from the University of Tehran. I’m also a Japanese instructor at Douglas College, where I teach university-level courses.
Languages are my lifelong passion. I’ve taught Japanese and Persian to students of all ages and backgrounds. I try to bring patience, energy, and encouragement to every lesson.

Me as a Teacher
I know from experience, learning Japanese or Persian can feel tough! But you’re not alone. Let me help you learn in a way that’s fun and makes sense. I use original materials, based on what I wish I'd had as a language learner.
I’ve taught over 1000 online/in-person lessons and have helped learners from beginners to advanced. Whether you're preparing for the JLPT or just want to chat confidently, I’ll adjust to your goals.
Let’s make each lesson useful, comfortable, and enjoyable. 😊
日本語やペルシャ語を学ぶのは大変ですよね。私自身の学習経験から、分かりやすくオリジナル教材を作りました。初心者からJLPT対策まで対応します。一緒に楽しく頑張りましょう!
My lessons & teaching style
Here’s what lessons with me are like:
• Speak & listen a lot
• Go at your pace
• Use clear, original notes
• Learn with fun, real-life examples
Beginners will start with greetings, alphabet (hiragana, katakana), and basic phrases. More advanced learners can focus on conversational fluency or exam prep.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
初心者の方はあいさつや文字から丁寧に教えます。上級者の方は会話練習やJLPT対策を行います。皆さんとレッスンでお会いできるのを楽しみにしています!

Teacher’s pick
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۔

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 :)

Great lesson with plenty of both speaking and listening practice and an interesting conversation about cultural differences between Sweden and Iran.
