Dr. Atena

I’ve had the pleasure of studying Persian with Atena for a year now. She is a truly exceptional language instructor! Knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely caring. Her lessons are beautifully structured – combining engaging texts, practical exercises, role-playing, and grammar instruction – making each session effective and fun. She creates a warm, encouraging space, is patient, and corrects mistakes gently. Thanks to her expertise, dedication, and supportive feedback, my language skills have improved significantly. I am so glad to be on this learning journey with Atena and wholeheartedly recommend her.

Atena is a patient, highly skilled treasure of the Persian language. She always makes learning an exciting and wondrous journey and I look forward to many more lessons with her! I love the variety of materials she uses and it is all so enriching. Thank you for everything!

Atena è un'insegnante competente, paziente e molto gentile.

Her remarkable skills, dedication, and passion make Farsi learning both enjoyable & effective. What truly stands out is her remarkable patience, allowing me to learn at my own pace. Under her guidance, I’m gaining proficiency & improving my communication skills significantly. Her classes are not just informative; they’re a delightful adventure in the world of language, and I’m thrilled to continue learning from her. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking outstanding language education.

With the onset of war, Dr Atena would be justified to be distracted. But she gave me 100% attention and as always taught with patience, caring and humour. I pray that all the people of Iran are safe.

I have been taking lessons with Dr. Atena for around a year now. She has helped me keep up with Persian outside of my university classes and has been instrumental in my time learning the language. Her expertise and knowledge of the Persian language and literature, along with her kind demeanor and encouraging attitude, make the lessons interesting, informative, and fun! I highly recommend Dr. Atena; it's hard to find a better teacher out there!
