Bio

Dear Students
Having lived abroad, as everybody else in this situation, I have perceived that becoming a fluent speaker; so-called near native speaker - is rarely a realistic goal. Considering that I myself have always been on this track, I have a good command of methods and nuances for dealing with this problem. Twenty+ years of working as an English teacher and lecturer has made me able to interact with all types of students and characters and become flexible in educational settings. ...

Dear Students
Having lived abroad, as everybody else in this situation, I have perceived that becoming a fluent speaker; so-called near native speaker - is rarely a realistic goal. Considering that I myself have always been on this track, I have a good command of methods and nuances for dealing with this problem. Twenty+ years of working as an English teacher and lecturer has made me able to interact with all types of students and characters and become flexible in educational settings. Teaching and tutoring at different levels from elementary school to bachelor's level has ensured my abilities to cover all courses pertaining to English and Farsi (my native language) for both adults and children. Understanding the teaching methodologies which are constantly being developed provides some insights for the instructors to choose them according to their students' needs. Although Communicative Language Teaching Method, is the most accepted method these days, I personally believe in an eclectic method of teaching. Whether to choose audio-lingual method, grammar translation method, communicative method or a mixture of them depends on different factors such as the purpose of teaching and learning, the students' mother tongue and even their learning abilities. An important facet of my teaching philosophy is to provide a comfortable, non-threatening and even fun environment for all students. By making the content of the lessons more applicable to the students' lives, the instructor creates the appropriate, effective environment necessary for second language acquisition.
Last but not least, I am approachable but accountable and strict inside as a teacher. I like to make friends with my students and make them enjoy my classes. In response to your search for an English/Farsi tutor, I believe that my experience in English teaching, and my interaction skills qualify me for consideration.
Sincerely,
Marjan G.

Best Farsi Teacher on Wyzant: great personality, knowledgable and patient.

Marjan is an excellent Farsi teacher. I highly recommend taking her lessons. She understands the economy of language and helps to break down the meaning of words and sentence structures in a fun and relatable way. But most importantly she’s patient, which allows me to really think through the sentence structure. Today was my fourth lesson with her and I feel like I’m understanding how to speak Farsi like a local. Thanks for all the help Marjan! Can’t wait for the next one.

Assessment of First Meeting

I believe our future meetings hold much promise. I will be happy to write a review once my project has been completed. She is a knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Flexible, resourceful, and helpful tutor

Marjan is very flexible in her means of teaching. She has accepted my request to learn conversational Persian first before written form. I have a lot of understanding in Farsi, but she is enabling my understanding to a deeper level. She provides resources that help the student immerse in the language to gain deep comprehension. Totally recommend!

Knowledgeable, encouraging, and understanding

Marjan is a very skilled English teacher who is able to tailor her lessons to her student. I generally get stuck on every detail during studying but Marjan knows how to ensure that I cover everything I need to as well as dig deeper into important topics. I'd recommend her to anyone and am very glad I found her.
