Mina Khalili

Mina is an excellent teacher: she is always on time and prepared. I have a document with everything we learned and can review it afterward. She is very patient and answers all my questions. I started with absolutely 0 knowledge of Farsi and in the half year having 1 class a week reached the level, where I could read, have small talks, and understand vlogs.

Mina is an outstanding teacher. I do not know if it is her background in linguistics, her own practical experience learning other languages or a combination of the two, but she has a superb understanding of the process of language acquisition. Her lessons are thoughtfully organized and she is very effective in breaking down grammar and practical usage in ways that you can remember and assimilate. She also is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.

After studying with Mina for a few months, I can't even imagine studying with someone else. Mina's classes are very well organized and fun. I finish every class feeling accomplished and inspired. Mina has not only a vast knowledge of multiple languages (which is very helpful as we can find an exact meaning for every word or expression), but she clearly has experience teaching students at a variety of levels. I am so grateful to have found her!

I really enjoy studying Persian with Mina. What I appreciate most is the clear structure of the course. Mina clearly knows what she's doing - each lessons fits seamlessly with what we have learnt so far and what we will be learning next. From every lesson, I receive copious notes brimming with new vocabulary, example sentences, dialogues and cultural insights - a testament to how incredibly productive these lessons are! They are varied, too: we have conversations, read short texts, listen to recordings, practise new vocabulary and review grammar points. Mina is also flexible, always happy to clarify more difficult points (sometimes more than once) and to adapt to my pace. Her deep knowledge of linguistics and Persian language and culture is a tremendous asset, as well. In a nutshell: I couldn't find a more dedicated Farsi tutor. !خسته نباشید
