About Me

Hey there, I'm Ziba! A language enthusiast with Iranian roots, now making Italy my home. My journey began with Persian (Farsi) as my mother tongue, and at the age of 10, I dove into English. Today, I'm fluent in Persian, English, Italian, and Azeri.

I'm not just a language lover; I'm also a certified TEFL teacher and an experienced tourist guide. Teaching started for me back in my college days, and after ten years of both in-person and online teaching, I'm excited to continue online.

My classes are all about you. Whether it's grammar, speaking, pronunciation, idiomatic expressions, or preparing for a trip, I've got your back. I'm patient, friendly, encouraging, and responsible. I often use interactive teaching methods like TPR and CLT to keep things engaging.

If you're itching to learn Persian (Farsi) for travel or to dive into Iranian culture, I'm your go-to. Let's explore not just the language but also the fascinating colloquial words. Ready to start this adventure together?
