About Me
italki teacher since Aug 4, 2021InterestsTravelSports & FitnessMusicFilms & TV SeriesReading
My mission is clear: to take an absolute beginner to speaking confidently in 30 days, and on the path to fluency within 6 months. My DLI (Dynamic Language Immersion) method makes this possible.
I’m a dedicated Persian teacher and the creator of the DLI method. I help learners move beyond apps and textbooks to use Farsi in real life.
The secret? We learn through short clips from popular Iranian TV series. Each live lesson is 100% conversation, built on Question & Answer, Storytelling, and Role-playing—no grammar drills.
You prepare with structured materials on my platform (no extra fees), then we speak. If your goal is to finally speak Persian naturally, you're in the right place.Me as a Teacher
I am structured, supportive, and relentlessly focused on your speaking ability. I don't teach theory; I train you to communicate.
My role is to guide you through real dialogues, provide clear corrections, and create a space where mistakes are welcome but silence is not. Every lesson is designed for maximum speaking time with immediate, constructive feedback.
I use a proven framework: you prepare with engaging video clips and materials, then we dive into interactive speaking practice. My goal is your confidence and fluency, measured by your growing ease in conversation, not by tests. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are a dynamic blend of preparation and practice. You'll access well-structured learning materials (video clips, dialogues, vocabulary, etc.) on my personal platform—included with your lesson, no hidden fees.
Then, in our live session (private or small group of 2-4), we activate that language through:
✔️ Guided Question & Answer
✔️ Storytelling based on the scenes
✔️ Role-playing real-life situations
This is the core of the DLI method: learn from real media, speak from day one. Grammar is learned intuitively through use. The result is faster progress, lasting confidence, and the ability to actually use Persian.My teaching material

I was delighted to find Sabour on italki: he's a great teacher with a great method. Not only he uses videos with real conversations in Persian, but also teaches you how spoken Persian is actually used, which is very difficult to find on the internet or even here with other teachers. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed my first lesson learning Persian with Sabour. He is kind, patient, positive and wants to help you be successful. As an English teacher myself, I like his method of teaching. No tedious grammar exercises.
