Hello! My name is Nafiseh, I’m 25 years old, and I’m a native Persian (Farsi) speaker from Iran. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Genetics and I’m passionate about teaching my native language to learners from all over the world. I have an IELTS certificate, which helps me communicate clearly in English and explain concepts more effectively to English-speaking learners. My teaching style is friendly, patient, and tailored to each student’s goals. Whether, you’re learning Persian for travel, work or interest in Persian culture and literature. I’m here to guide and support you on your journey.
Let’s explore the beauty of the Persian language together!
