Shahrzad

I started learning Persian from scratch a year and a half ago. My motivation is high, and I don't plan to stop, and Shahrzad deserves a lot of credit for that. We discuss various topics in Persian, and I can see that I'm getting better and better. Shahrzad is patient and supports me when I'm trying to express my thoughts.

I chose Shahrzad as a teacher when I needed to update my English skills, primarily for communicating at job interviews. She helped me compose answers to frequently asked questions, and together we tailored them to me personally, including the way I communicate (wording, articulation, my native accent, etc). Then we practiced the answers. She was very helpful to control non-verbal communication (verbal fillings, tone of voice, etc.). After mastering this part, she helped me with proper communication and responses to many questions about my CV, and taught me how to communicate some of the activities correctly in English. We continued to practice the basic questions too. Every single hour went more than very pleasantly, and I appreciate that Shahrzad managed to be very subtle but unambiguous even in very lively discussions, I love hours with Shahrzad.

What I like the most about lessons with Shahrzad is that she always gives me space to make mistakes and patiently guides me so I can find and correct them on my own. After a few weeks I can already see big progress and I am looking forward to learning more.

I’ve been studying Persian with Shahrzad for almost two years now and I am satisfied with each single class with her. I’ve mastered the grammar and now our focus is on expanding vocabulary and practicing everyday use of the language. Shahrzad is a great teacher, she has the patience and skill to explain all the nuances of the language.

It's been two months since I started lessons with Shahrzad and I am very happy with my progress. I really like that each lesson has a similar structure and I know what we will do next time so I can easily revise all the materials and prepare for future lessons. It doesn't mean that the lessons are repetitive though, every time I learn something new and I am able to connect new grammar and vocabulary with the information from the previous meetings. Shahrzad also always makes sure that I don't forget the grammar and vocabulary from our past lessons. Every week I feel more confident speaking Persian and I can't wait to have longer conversations.

Sharzhad is a great teacher, providing a good balance of encouragement and feedback on how to speak like a native speaker. She’s helping me undo past mistakes on vocabulary and grammar, which I definitely need.
