About Me
italki teacher since Apr 18, 2019Interest topicTravelSports & FitnessReading
Languages opens the door to a new world. It’s been over five years now since I've started learning languages. I loved studying linguistics, I loved learning and teaching languages. Since then, I’ve taught many classes on italki and in my home country; have had the pleasure of making wonderful friends from all around the world and learned many things from them. Languages are facinating doors into understanding the beauty and wisdom of different cultures, and hence understanding each other.
Me as a Teacher
As I love learning and teaching languages, I'm always reading about new approaches, new ideas, different methods to help my students learn a new language better and progress faster. I'm very patient and encourage students to speak as much as possible and not to worry about making mistakes. With my classes you'll have a lot of support outside of the classes such as resources and materials to immerse yourself in the language.My lessons & teaching style
I've learnt that having fun and making the process your own takes language learning to a whole new level. So I try to make my classes more fun while adjusting the methods and materials to the student's goals and interests and at the same time trying each time to bring something fun and new to the table to prevent the sessions from getting boring.

Mina is an excellent teacher: she is always on time and prepared. I have a document with everything we learned and can review it afterward. She is very patient and answers all my questions. I started with absolutely 0 knowledge of Farsi and in the half year having 1 class a week reached the level, where I could read, have small talks, and understand vlogs.

Mina is an outstanding teacher. I do not know if it is her background in linguistics, her own practical experience learning other languages or a combination of the two, but she has a superb understanding of the process of language acquisition. Her lessons are thoughtfully organized and she is very effective in breaking down grammar and practical usage in ways that you can remember and assimilate. She also is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.

After studying with Mina for a few months, I can't even imagine studying with someone else. Mina's classes are very well organized and fun. I finish every class feeling accomplished and inspired. Mina has not only a vast knowledge of multiple languages (which is very helpful as we can find an exact meaning for every word or expression), but she clearly has experience teaching students at a variety of levels. I am so grateful to have found her!
