    Teaching Approach


    I use a holistic approach based on communicative teaching, but using any and all methods of teaching where appropriate. My lessons are fun and enjoyable; so much so that I often receive comments from my students that I should seed a career in stand-up comedy. I have a unique way of teaching grammar focusing on aspect and I have strong skills in contrastive analysis.



    Program Description


    have been teaching English as a first, second and foreign language for over 20 years, at all levels ranging from kindergarten to post graduate university programs, in several different countries around the world.

    In addition, I have extensive experience in preparation courses for Cambridge exams, TOEFL, and IELTS as well as in teacher training.

    I hold a TESOL Certificate from Trinity College, London, and I have done Modules 1 and 2 of Cambridge Diploma in Teaching English to the speakers of other languages.
    I'm also a native speaker of Persian.
