About Me

I am a multidisciplinary trainer with extensive real-world experience in sales, customer service, language teaching, and Persian cultural education. My work is built around one core strength: clear communication and practical skill transfer.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience in customer-facing roles and retail environments, I teach sales not as theory, but as a practical, human-centered skill—focusing on confidence, customer psychology, communication, and real-life scenarios. My sales sessions are designed for people who want results they can immediately apply.
Alongside sales training, I teach Persian cooking and Persian language, offering learners a deeper cultural understanding rather than isolated skills. My cooking classes focus on authentic Persian cuisine, techniques, and traditions, while my language sessions emphasize functional, everyday communication, tailored to the learner’s goals.
Across all my classes—sales, cooking, or language—I am known for creating a calm, structured, and supportive learning environment. I adapt my teaching style to the individual, making complex ideas simple, practical, and accessible.
Whether you are looking to improve your sales skills, explore Persian culture through food, or learn Persian or English in a meaningful way, my sessions are focused, professional, and experience-based.

The VHF radio is a means of communication / telephone with which people on the water can talk to bridge keepers, lock keepers, harbor masters and other ships.

In particular, the radio is intended to call in professional emergency and rescue services in the event of an emergency.

Only after passing the Basic VHF certificate exam and possession of the certificate can one have and use a VHF radio on board a ship.

During the course, students will learn the basics needed to pass the exam for 6 hours. The course concludes with a test exam that the student can use for testing.

As a teacher I believe it’s important to focus on the likes of students to help them improve and have a better development. As everything in life learning a language is simpler when you’re dealing with something you like. As part of my experience I taught in schools and students with different profiles and objectives in a language course.

Many people, over time, lose the ability to converse in a second language after being unable to practice for a long time. This also makes them embarassed to take that first step to talk to people who know the language.

By having a space where people can talk with no judgement and encouraging their participation, my lessons allow students to gain confidence and improve their skills in a comfortable environment, discussing topics that they find interesting.

I am an enthusiastic French teacher and, in addition to experience in secondary school, I have years of experience in teaching French face-to-face or in mini groups. My goal is to give students that support so that they understand the material and get good grades again. I base this on the lesson and learning material they provide and supplement this with supporting exercises. I teach students from the age of 11.
For adults, I offer you French courses and lessons, for both business and private purposes, at your pace and as it suits you best in private lessons. Alone or in small groups of a maximum of 4 people with an experienced teacher of FLE, français langue étrangère, you benefit from a small-scale learning environment with a lot of personal attention, intensive supervision and in good alignment with your expectations.
All skills can be practiced, reading, writing, listening, speaking and interacting. I also pay attention to correct pronunciation, so that your listening skills also greatly improve
As aids there are images, videos, texts to listen and read, chansons. The lessons always include a topic from French current affairs or culture.

The English language is often used as a mother tongue and as a starting point when you are abroad. Also, many courses, especially at universities, are in English. Mastering and understanding this language is therefore of great importance.

In my tutoring sessions I will personally work with you to improve your English skills. There are also regular consultations and feedback so that I can best adapt my lesson to your needs.

Do you only have trouble with one or two specific skills? No problem. I am also happy to help with that.

We can also write papers together, check letters and find other ways to help you understand it as well as possible.

A communication skills lesson teaches the basics of effective communication, including both verbal and nonverbal techniques. The lesson may cover topics such as active listening, speaking clearly and concisely, using appropriate body language, and managing conflicts. Students may participate in role-playing exercises to practice their communication skills in a safe and controlled environment.

The teacher may also introduce and explain key concepts such as empathy, assertiveness, and effective feedback. The lesson might also touch on the importance of adapting communication styles to different situations and audiences. Interactive activities, group discussions, and self-reflection exercises may be used to help students develop their skills and gain a deeper understanding of the communication process. The goal of the lesson is to equip students with the tools and knowledge they need to communicate effectively in both personal and professional settings.
