Atifa

I just wrapped up my 50th lesson with Atifa, and they’ve flown by. I’m already looking forward to the next 50! She’s great at keeping the conversation flowing and always manages to find the perfect English word to explain the nuance of a Dari term when I get stuck. She’s got a good sense of humor, plenty of charisma, and knows her history, which makes every lesson engaging and interesting.

Another great lesson with Ms Atıfa!

Excellent teacher, excellent lesson.

Another excellent lesson with Ms Atifa.

Today was a really good class! I think it was our second class together. I felt like I talked a lot and even with all my errors, I felt confident talking with Atifa. She is a good listener and really tries to understand what I’m saying. If she’s not sure, she always confirms (in Dari) to make sure she understood me correctly. I plan to continue booking lessons with her!

This is my first time to learn Dari/Farsi. Ms Atifa has been teaching me for several weeks. She is an excellent teacher. Her presentations are clear, with lots of examples and clarifications where necessary. From the outset I indicated that I was also interested to learn to read. Accordingly, Ms Atifa has been teaching me the writing system. As well, I expressed interest to learn the culture. Each week, she prepares a culture point to share. It is clear to me that Ms Atifa comes to class organized and well prepared. I highly recommend Ms Atifa as a Dari / Farsi language teacher.
