Persian film script reading comprehension, Listening, Reading and Speaking Skills

From 65.93 $ /h

For over 20 years, I’ve been closely following Iranian and global cinema. I am very much into the world of good movies and am not biased to a specific genre. This gives my students the chance to have a variety of choices in choosing a movie they’d like to watch. I am a very patient teacher and was given a lot of positive feedback about it by my students. I am also very familiar with Iranian culture, Persian expressions, proverbs and sarcasm. Above all, being fluent in English makes it easy for me to give the best translation/equivalent from Persian to English when reading a film script.

This lesson is designed for students in intermediate level and above. A student should already be able to understand written and spoken Persian reasonably well, so that they can watch and make sense of a piece of a Persian film without subtitles. Then at the lesson all the unclear points will be clarified by reading through the lines of the film script together. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?

About Me

I tend not to restrict myself to one or two things since my fields of interest are many. I am an active person with a background in learning and teaching languages, writing, singing, and figure drawing. But above all, I am very good at dealing with and understanding different types of people and paving the way for myself and those I am working with. Developing and maintaining relationships is very important to me.

I have a master's in Teaching Persian as a Foreign Language. I’m a computational linguist, a translator, and a language-lover with experience in teaching different levels. I have more than 6 years of experience teaching English to children aged 3 to 13. I have taught Persian in Iran, Greece, and Sweden. In Sweden, I collaborated with Uppsala University and taught Persian in a distance course. To make students be able to communicate and enjoy their time at the lesson is my goal when teaching.

Persian Conversation, Reading, Writing and Grammar

85.6 $ /h

I have a masters in Teaching Persian as a Foreign Language. I’m a computational linguist, a translator, and a language-lover with experience teaching different levels. I have more than 6 years of experience teaching English to children aged 3 to 13. I have taught Persian in Iran, Greece and Sweden. In Sweden, I collaborated with Uppsala University and taught Persian in a distance course. To make students be able to communicate and enjoy their time at the lesson is my goal when teaching.

My favourite teaching method is the communicative approach. However, being up-to-date is essential to me, and therefore I always have an eye on the new methods and ideas in language teaching.

Lessons with a focus on conversation are suitable for students who are already familiar with Persian. It is basically a friendly chat for a brush-up on one's Persian speaking/listening skills! We can decide on the subject of the conversation together. This lesson could specifically be useful for those who for any reason forget their Persian, or those who come from an Iranian background but never got a chance to use their Persian because of not living near a native Persian speaker.

Lessons with a focus on reading, writing and/or grammar work for anyone interested in learning Persian, regardless of having any background in Persian. In the grammar lessons you will become familiar with the ins and outs of the Persian language.

What are your goals?
Let's work together hand in hand to achieve them!

In my lessons...

📕🇯🇵 “Is textbook Japanese different from real Japanese?”
Sometimes it is! The textbook phrase “つまらないものですが” (“It's nothing special, but...”) is now outdated. Instead, ‘気に入ってくれるとうれしいです’ (“I'd be happy if you like it”) sounds more natural and leaves a better impression ☺️ You'll enjoy learning this kind of “real Japanese.”
🇯🇵🗾 How do you say “How are you?” in Japanese?
What should you say for casual greetings?
I'll gently explain cultural backgrounds and how to read emotions, making Japanese communication more enjoyable and understandable.
3 Create natural sentences with fun topics!
“Conjunctions are tough...” “Is this phrasing correct?”
When you feel that way, let's create sentences using fun themes!
“My Favorite Things” or “My Dreams”
With unique practice like this, you'll naturally pick up Japanese expressions.
4 Your Personal Feedback Notebook
During lessons, I'll correct the words you speak into natural, correct Japanese and write them in your notebook. Hiragana included if needed. Reading them aloud after lessons ensures you truly master usable Japanese.
I specialize in lessons that are “gentle, polite, fun, and bright.” Students often tell me, “I feel more confident!” and “I enjoy speaking now!” Let's level up your Japanese together using a learning style that suits you!

J’ai remarqué que certaines personnes s’intéressent à ma langue maternelle, et je trouve cela vraiment admirable d’avoir le courage de l’apprendre, car c’est une langue à la fois difficile et magnifique.
Je serai plus que ravie de vous aider si vous souhaitez pratiquer le Farsi !
Lors de chaque séance, nous essaierons de discuter de sujets du quotidien afin d’apprendre la langue de manière pratique et utile.
La méthode sera axée sur le farsi conversationnel, avec l’appui d’un livre de support.

This class is for anyone interested in learning Bahasa Indonesia and getting to know more about daily life and traditions in Indonesia. I’ll share the language the way we use it in real conversations, along with cultural notes that make it more meaningful.

You don’t need to worry about being perfect—we can start from simple phrases and slowly build up together. Along the way, I’ll also share little stories, expressions, and cultural habits that I’ve grown up with.

Colonial cities in Indonesia were shaped by political, economic, and cultural imperatives of empire. This course combines rigorous historical analysis with in-situ field learning, inviting international learners to experience colonial urban history through direct observation of city form, heritage architecture, and spatial organization.

Rather than abstract narratives or rote memorization, our approach treats cities as living texts. Students study how colonial authorities designed urban space for trade, governance, and control, and how these spatial logics endure in the modern city.

The class offers a hybrid blend of classroom discussion, archival interpretation, and guided urban walks in historically significant sites such as old town districts, port precincts, colonial administrative centers, and transportation infrastructure. Participants will explore heritage buildings, street patterns, canals, and rail alignments—observing how power was inscribed into the urban fabric.

Learning resources include historical maps, planning documents, photographs, and Dutch-language sources, combined with structured field observations to enhance analytical skills. Field sessions are designed not only to illustrate concepts discussed in class but to immerse students in the material realities of colonial urbanism.

By engaging with both documentary archives and urban environments, students will gain a deeper appreciation of how colonial spatial strategies were implemented and how their legacies shape contemporary Indonesian cities. This course is ideal for students, researchers, heritage professionals, and culturally curious travelers interested in urban history, architecture, and colonial studies.
