I'm a language teacher from Iran, currently living in Istanbul, Turkey. I've been teaching English & Persian professionally since 2008 and on italki since 2018. I'm passionate about languages and cultural exchange, and I've had the pleasure of working with learners from more than 35 countries. I'm also a language learner myself and am currently learning Turkish. I know that learning a new language takes patience, practice, and confidence, and I'm always looking for ways to improve my own skills. I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and learning about their languages and cultures.
