About Me

Teaching English is not just my profession—it is my passion and purpose. From the very beginning of my academic journey, I immersed myself in an English-speaking academic environment, where I not only honed my language skills but also cultivated a deep understanding of the art and science of teaching. My commitment to excellence led me to rigorously study pedagogy, linguistics, and language assessment, all of which have played a crucial role in shaping and continually refining the quality of my courses. This dedication was recognized when I achieved the 39th national rank in the MA entrance exam for the TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) program—a milestone that reflects both my academic diligence and deep-rooted passion for education. Above all, I devote myself wholeheartedly to my students, striving to inspire, support, and guide them at every step of their learning journey. For me, teaching is not just about transferring knowledge—it’s about making a lasting impact.

Why My Courses

Modernity

eclecticism Post method

Eclecticism, which leads to modernity, suggests that a good language teacher should be well-versed in the various historical language teaching methods—such as GTM, ALM, SW, and TPR. However, the journey doesn’t end there. The next step is the Post method, where teachers selectively draw upon the strengths of different approaches and create their own personalized method based on research and experience. Yet, this is just the beginning. A truly effective teacher remains dynamic and stays informed about the latest teaching techniques and materials. It’s this commitment to modernity that keeps my learners satisfied

Personalized Learning

customized method flexible learning environment

Applying a single method to all students is not advisable. Therefore, my initial step is to understand each student’s background, strengths, weaknesses, needs, skills, and interests. This personalized approach allows me to select the most practical teaching techniques and materials tailored to each student’s level. As a result, every student receives a customized learning plan that suits them best. Not only does this accelerate their learning process, but it also enhances their motivation, self-confidence, and communication abilities.

Considering that working with kids is more difficult than adults, I opine Ms. Shirazi teaches very energetically and sweatly so that my dear Peransa always does her exercises and studies eagerly by herself. Moreover, the most significant thing about her is that she's so committed to her work and cares about order.
