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!

The lessons have been fun since I've been putting more work in. Studying Persian is a long term endeavour, you must put the work in but equally important is the relationship you have with the teacher. Dr Atena is a patient, calm and caring teacher. She also puts in a lot of additional work.

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.

I've reached lesson 7 and Im struggling with the difficulty of it. However Dr Atena always makes the lesson interesting and fun.

Excellent teacher!
