Over

am a dedicated and experienced teacher, translator, and editor with a PhD in Performance and Theatre Studies from Freie Universität Berlin. I’ve taught Persian (Farsi) language, literature, and cultural studies at various levels, both in Iran and Europe. As a teacher, I value clarity, dialogue, and adapting my methods to the student’s goals — whether it’s everyday conversation, academic writing, or reading Persian literature.
I have worked 20 years as a journalist and activist and served as the former editor in chief for Zamaneh Media.
I enjoy working with curious, committed learners — from complete beginners to advanced students — and I offer a flexible, engaging, and intellectually rich learning environment. I also bring many years of experience translating and publishing complex texts between English, German, and Farsi, and I love helping students understand the depth of the Persian language and its cultural world

I teach Farsi on 6 different levels. For each level, I use chapters from a combined text and workbook to teach students writing, speaking and listening skills. Despite the fact that the book already covers a large variety of exercises, I supplement these exercises myself based on the needs of the students. My lessons are of course interactive, where I always start by explaining a new grammar part, after which students work with me (private lesson) or in a small group (group lessons). I always give students homework, where they can use the opportunity to send in the assignments and receive (written) feedback.

My teaching style is characterized by the patience that I show when explaining, both at the beginning of the lessons, as well as when something becomes less clear during the exercises. My patience is also experienced as very pleasant by my students.
