Hi! My name is Taraneh. I’m from Iran and have been living in the US & Canada for the past decade. I currently live in Montreal where I’m the director and professor of the Persian program at McGill University.
I’ve received my PhD in Linguistics from the University of Illinois and have a Master’s in Language Education from Tehran University.
I’ve been teaching different levels and types of Persian courses in North American universities since 2016. Throughout my professional/academic career, I’ve had the joy of teaching students from all kinds of backgrounds, whether heritage speakers or those discovering Persian for the first time. Let me be your guide in your Persian learning journey!Che tipo di insegnante sono
Years ago, my passion for language teaching made me change my career path from being an engineer to a highly professional language teacher and linguist. Best decision of my life! My diverse experience with different students, learning materials, and topic courses allows me to help my students find, and stick to, what works for them depending on their interests and learning goals. I believe that language and culture are intertwined, so I always teach language through interacting with culture, be it more on the ‘traditional’ side (e.g. literature, proverbs) or on the more ‘modern’ side (e.g. following social media trends). All this makes my approach to teaching Persian unique and efficient! Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
My teaching style is always tailored to my students’ interests and learning objectives as I create a personalized plan for each student. For a general course, that would involve learning Persian vocabulary, grammar, and reading/writing/listening/speaking skills, I usually draw on a variety of different textbooks to create a basic structure for the course and then complement this with various fun multimedia authentic materials (e.g. music, podcasts, news, poems, stories, movies, memes, etc.) and online resources depending on the student’s proficiency level and their interests. Additionally, I take time to create and give feedback on assignments between sessions. We’ll find what works for you!Il mio materiale didattico

I've been taking lessons with Dr. Taraneh for a few weeks now and they have been incredibly helpful -- she is an excellent teacher who has always been able to answer my questions and provide useful learning materials to improve my Farsi. She has been very patient and understanding in correcting my mistakes and helping me grow in confidence with speaking, reading, and writing, and has provided interesting cultural context for the materials we read in class. I 100% recommend this teacher to anyone wanting to learn Farsi or improve their Farsi

Another great Farsi writing lesson! I absolutely love Dr. T's patience and the fact that she gives me time to write all the words and sentences (even if it means looking at my notes briefly one more time) and she corrects every mistake. At the very beginning, the Persian script looked daunting but it turned out to be a lot easier than I expected and it's all thanks to this amazing teacher. Take her classes!
