I am an experienced French and Farsi language instructor with more than 15 years of French teaching experience. I have been teaching French since 2009 and Farsi since 2013. I hold a Bachelor's degree and two Master's degrees in French Language and Literature, including a Master's degree in French Language from the University of Oklahoma, where I graduated in December 2016. I teach French from beginner to advanced levels and offer AP French and TEF preparation.

Throughout my career, I have taught French at universities, schools, language institutes, and online. I have worked with students from the United States, Canada, England, China, and other countries. My French instruction includes conversation, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing, and academic French. I lived in France in 2012, immersing myself in French language and culture, and visited Paris, Nice, Lyon, and Marseille. I also attended French language and cultural programs through the Service of Cooperation and Cultural Action of the French Embassy, further enriching my knowledge of French and Francophone culture.

As a native Farsi speaker, I have taught Farsi to children and adults from beginner to advanced levels since 2013. My teaching approach is student-centered, interactive, and personalized. I understand that learning a new language can be challenging, especially when students feel anxious about speaking. I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, practicing conversation, and building confidence. My goal is to help students develop practical language skills, communicate naturally, and gain a deeper appreciation for the language and culture they are learning.

Working on school project and presentation

Maryam is super helpful working with Monte on the French school project and presentation by helping Monte working on his scripts and practicing the presentation, also provide very detailed suggestions and grammatical advices. Monte’s confidence on French grows a lot. He still has a lot to work on, to prepare for the finals and do a solid review, and prepare for next year AP level French, which will be a challenging course. Deeply appreciated.

Look no further for your language learning needs! Let me rave about the incredible experience I've had with Maryam. First and foremost, Maryam is always prepared. Every session is meticulously planned with a perfect balance of reading practice, vocabulary expansion, and engaging conversation. Her lesson plans are not only comprehensive but also tailored to my individual learning style and interests, ensuring maximum effectiveness. Professionalism exudes from every interaction with Maryam. Punctual, courteous, and respectful, she sets the standard for professionalism in online tutoring. But perhaps the most impressive aspect of Maryam's teaching is her unparalleled knowledge of the Persian language. She expertly guided me in distinguishing between the formal, written Persian used in literature and official documents, and the more casual, conversational Persian heard in everyday interactions, providing me with a well-rounded understanding of the language's nuances. Thanks to Maryam, my Persian language skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I feel more confident than ever expressing myself in Persian and regularly converse with my in-laws. Her patience, encouragement, and passion for teaching have truly transformed my learning journey. In summary, if you're serious about mastering Persian, look no further than Maryam.
