I have taken 57 classes with Leila in the last year and a half, and it has been an incredible experience and total joy. When I first met her, I had studied Persian on and off for many years, but my speaking was pretty rusty. I was also very interested in studying Persian poetry. Leila offered to combine two of her classes in one for me, so that the first part would be conversation and the second part would focus on reading works of poetry. Since then it has also expanded to working on translation of prose and poetry from…

I think today was my 21st lesson with Leila! And I want to say I’m still as encouraged as I was during my very first lesson when Leila introduced the Persian alphabet to me! For me, Leila is a perfect teacher. Besides textbook material, Leila shares with me her own content made on various topics in audio and text format.

Leila was amazing as always! Reading classical Persian literature with her has made the texts come alive for me in away that I have not experienced with other teachers. Not only do I understand much more, but I have a real feeling for the deeper meanings and symbolisms, as well as the literary and historical context. I could not recommend her more highly!

Leila is a wonderful teacher, and she’s perfect for both the beginners and the more advanced students. In the time we’ve studied together, I’ve learned so much. Not only does she help me with the technical aspects of the language learning, she makes me understand and appreciate deeper the complexity and beauty of Persian culture and literature.
