About me
Hello! I'm Marjan.
With over 30 years of experience as a professional teacher, I’ve helped many students from all levels.
I hold a Master’s in Linguistics, a Bachelor’s in English Translation, and a certified TEFL qualification. But more importantly, I know how hard it may seem to learn a new language. Don't be afraid. Farsi is a sweet and poetic language. I can help you learn it from the beginning or help you improve your Grammar, Speaking, Listening, Writing, and Reading.
Let’s work together to explore the richness of Persian culture and literature.
No stress, no pressure—just clear, supportive lessons that fit your pace and goals.
Ready to start Farsi?
I began my teaching career in 1990, instructing at schools, institutes, and universities in Tehran, Iran.
In my classes, the primary focus is to enhance students' overall proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing Persian, regardless of their starting level. Each lesson is tailored to the individual student’s goals, needs, and current knowledge of the language. Priorities are set based on what matters most to you: conversational fluency, academic skills, or cultural understanding.
Being a native speaker doesn’t automatically make someone a good language teacher. Teaching requires training, expertise, and a deep understanding of how to guide others, though being a native speaker is certainly an advantage.
I am passionate about teaching. Hearing my students confidently speak Persian is the most rewarding part of my job—it’s when I know I’ve fulfilled my purpose as a teacher.
You can reach out if you have any questions or want more information. Better yet, book a trial session, and we can discuss your goals and how I can help you achieve them.

I wish I could leave 10 stars! Marjan is the most patient, kind and supportive teacher. She has made learning a language fun and completely accessible and has encouraged me beyond what I thought was possible. I am so grateful to Marjan for her thoughtfulness and pushing me out of my comfort zone. I would not be where I am today with my language skills without her. Mersi Marjan!

Mercan is a wonderful and caring tutor. She's been my instructor for nearly a year now and has done an excellent job coaching a complete beginner! She's flexible and understanding as well if you've got a busy life. Couldn't recommend her more for Farsi lessons.

I have very much enjoyed my lessons with Mercan. She is highly skilled at teaching, and I love that I am learning how to write with the spoken Farsi. I look forward to continuing our lessons. She is kind and patient, and very knowledgeable, making the lessons great. Merci Mercan.

Marjan is a wonderful teacher! She is so patient, kind, and has a very rich understanding of the complexities of Farsi. I'm very grateful I've found her as an instructor. I'm learning so much! I really appreciate how she customizes the classes based on your experience level and welcomes space to explore what you're curious about and would like to work on. Highly recommend taking her classes! :)

My lessons with Marjan are easily the best part of my week. My Farsi skills have greatly/noticeably improved in just a few months. Marjan is knowledgeable, kind, warm, and patient. I couldn’t possibly be any happier with my results and with Marjan as a teacher.

I just started my lessons, so I do not have long-term experience. However, I have gathered so far that Mercan is a highly professional teacher. She is always outstandingly prepared and highly focussed during the lessons. The lessons' pace is reasonable and well-adapted to my learning needs. She motivates but does not hold back when corrections or repetitions are needed. Without any hesitation, I can highly recommend Mercan!

My specialties
Conversational Persian (Farsi)
Farsi is my mother tongue. and I have spoken Farsi for 50 years in Iran. I have been educated on how to teach Farsi to non-Farsi speakers. For those students who need to improve their speaking and listening skills, I provide them with material that is more concentrated on the conversational approach.
Intensive Persian (Farsi)
I can arrange some intensive courses for the students who want to learn Farsi using different materials for speaking, reading, writing, and listening.
Persian (Farsi) for children
With my experience in teaching children for over 3 decades, I try to engage them in learning using music, videos, and pictures. Working with children needs patience and love and I love my job.
Persian (Farsi) for beginners
Depending on their goal, age, and time the class for beginners provides the students with basic notes on Farsi language, and step by step they will achieve the ability to speak, read, write and improve their listening skills.
