English language: Intermediate and Advanced levels
Languages in general and learning and teaching them are some of my biggest passions in life, and I have enjoyed teaching - specially languages - more than most things in life. I always take teaching as a great human experience as well as a learning experience of my own. Regarding my English courses: Depending on the level and the needs of the student, I can offer an interactive course whether it is speaking skills that you look for (so, in that case, conversation-based sessions) or a more general course or even only a grammar-focused course suited for school or only for reading knowledge. It is indeed easier if the student already knows some basic English passively in order to understand me during the classes (unless you are Persian-speaking which would make it much easier to communicate, if your level is below intermediate). However, it is perfectly fine if your speaking is still at the beginner level.
