I just finished my lesson number 16 with Deya. Kurdish is not an easy to learn language, at least not for me -a latin based speaker. But, I am having an awesome time together with this young, fresh but very well prepared teacher. I am touched by her commitment to the job, she takes it seriously and I admire that. She helps a lot during the lessons, she s patient, she repeats things many times until I can fix it into my memory. We share things from our countries sometimes and this helps me to have a better understanding of the Kurdish culture and life. I find that important and it gives me curiosity to know more. Deya wrote her own planning for the lessons and she can be flexible if your schedule is chaotic, which is highly appreciated. Sometimes I forget things, but Deya encourages me -she gives me hope and makes me wanna continue this awesome process . Well done, Deya ! Zor supas for your help! To mamostayeki zor bashit!

Deya's class is great. The content is well organised, interesting and useful. I was originally planning to only take a couple of lessons so that I can communicate better with Kurdish clients but after taking Deya's class, I think I'm probably going to sign up for a longer course with her! Thanks!

Dia was very sweet and helpful during my session. She's patient and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend

I myself am a teacher and believe me I know it when I see a good one. Deya has been extremely motivated, energetic, polite from minute 1. She responded my messages quickly, prepared a lesson based on what I needed and the lesson was very interactive. I highly recommend her to those who would like to study Soranî and/or plan a trip to Kurdistan, Sulaymaniyah in particular. Zor supast akam!

Dia is an excellent instructor whose expertise in Kurdish language and culture is complimented by her thoughtful and effective teaching approach. She comes well prepared for each lesson, balancing structure with flexibility to meet individual needs. Her feedback is positive, constructive, and encouraging, fostering confidence and a genuine desire to learn. After each lesson, she establishes clear, individualized goals and outlines plans for future sessions, providing motivation and accountability beyond the classroom. My understanding of Kurdish and ability to speak have improved significantly in just a few lessons, far surpassing months of independent study. Beyond her teaching skills, Dia is kind, genuine, and welcoming. She brings warmth to the classroom and embodies the cultural values she shares, weaving meaningful cultural insights into her lessons while demonstrating those values through her interactions.

I had to take a longer break from the lessons, but Dia managed to get me back up to speed with the topic effortlessly. The lesson was once again very clear and well structured, and all my questions were answered very competently. I can highly recommend Dia as a teacher!
