Mahtab

As you can see, I took many lessons with Mahtaab and I can confidently say, that she is simply the best teacher I have ever encountered. She is always well prepared, but ready to change the schedule or topic, if she feels that it benefits her student. Most teachers like to follow their own pace or ideas about how their students should study and learn the given language, but Mahtaab is very flexible in the sense that she always takes your opinion and preferences seriously. Apart of the regular Farsi lessons, I can wholeheartedly recommend her Persian Literature classes. She is expert both in literature and linguistics, so if you ever contemplated about enjoying Persian poetry as it's finest, I recommend to try a literature class with her!

Absolutely fantastic! Learning Persian with Mahtab is genuinely fun. Not only is she very knowledgeable, she is supportive and bursting with positive energy. Our conversations are meaningful and organic, and if we ever run out of things to say, she is always prepared with another topic. She is also a great resource for Persian linguistics and Iranian literature and culture. I couldn't recommend Mahtab more highly!

Kheyli mamnoonam baraye hemayat-et, Mahtab ... ham ghabl az in ke be Iran biam, ham vaghti ke dar Iran hastam.

I've been taking lessons with Mahtab for a year now and I feel quite qualified to comment on how great of a teacher she is. I've learnt so much and it really is down to her amazing help and support through the year - her teaching method is perfectly adapted to my way of learning and I trust in her capacity for adapting to the needs of any student she has, whether in Persian or English. She is always extremely positive and kind too, I've never turned up to a lesson where she hasn't been hugely positive and enthusiastic for teaching me something new. She is also so helpful outside of lessons and I can tell she is genuinely passionate about teaching and helping others. She is not just a good teacher but she also has a genuinely good soul and has come to be a wonderful and dear friend. متشکرم مهتاب!!!

Not only is Mahtab a highly skilled teacher of Persian, and not only is she a nearly native speaker of English, but she’s also recently completed her graduare degree in advanced linguistivs at one of iran’s most prestiguous universities, having pioneered new research that could merit international attention. All that, plus a very pleasant personality, makes every lesson more fun and interesting than the previous.

Mahtab is a wonderfully patient and encouraging teacher. No matter how many times I ask "in ya'ni chi?", she always responds with a smile and takes the time to explain things clearly. Her positive energy makes learning enjoyable. I’m looking forward to continuing our lessons even after my trip to Iran and seeing how far we can get in Grandpa’s big book (of typos 😂). I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Persian!
