About Me
italki teacher since Oct 15, 2017
Hello everyone, I am farhad zadran from paktia province and currently living in Kabul. I am a freelance illustrator by profession and love to draw. I am also very fond of learning and teaching languages. I am fluent in Pashto, Dari, Urdu and English. I also like to travel and communicate with people.
Me as a Teacher
I have been a teacher on italki for more than 2 years and successfully completed more than 1000 sessions. I have helped a lot of students in learning these languages and their reviews on my profile are a clear proof of that. I constantly try to add new ways of teaching that can help an individual learn the language fast and accurately.
My lessons & teaching style
I mostly rely on speaking for the first 2 months. I encourage my students not to take notes and try to memorize as much as they can. I will give them a simple grammar rule, then teach some verbs and correct their pronunciation. Then i will give relevant vocabulary so they are able to construct sentences. After that i will make them practice this newly learned very and vocabulary by making new sentences. They will also write 5 or 10 sentences as an assignment.
After a while i then start the alphabets and simple reading and move on to more complex topics.
Farhad is a very patient and adaptable teacher who was even happy to change the language I had booked to study mid-class, and helped me get started in a new language straight away. He is very encouraging and has great skill in explaining new concepts in an understandable way. I definitely recommend him for anyone who wants to learn a new language or improve the language they already speak.

A great first lesson. I can tell he really knows what he is doing, and is attuned to how to adjust to the level and learning style of the student.

Farhad continues to impress me. He's so clear in his instruction and makes sure I'm understanding as we go along. Could not recommend more highly.

Very thorough and speedy first lesson with Farhad! We covered how to conjugate verbs in the present tense. Farhad is very kind and respectful and clearly knows what he's doing. And I recommed him to anyone who wants to start speaking right from the start. Thank you very much!
