“Yashar is an amazing teacher. I decided to take lessons from him because he himself has learned several languages and most of them overlap with mine or are similar (Dutch ~ German, Korean ~ Japanese), so it was easy to draw comparisons to other familiar languages and made it so easy and effortless to follow the grammar / structure of Farsi for me. For me it stands out that his classes are tailored to his student individually, so he adjusted the classes and his methodology to my needs, strengths and weaknesses. I made very good progress very quickly and am super happy with our classes. I studied Farsi to prepare for my trip to Iran, which I can now say, after just getting back from Iran, indeed prepared me very well, on the language as well as cultural and practical level. On top of all that, Yashar has a great positive vibe, which makes the classes very enjoyable, too! Thank you so much for all our lessons, and I look forward to our next classes to improve my Farsi even further.”

“Yashar is very welcoming and was able to quickly get us started. It was clear from the get-go that he’s very experienced and I am very much looking forward to learning more with him!”

“I just had my third class with Yashar and he’s an absolute delight. I truly appreciate how thoroughly he understands the language and its building blocks, and (thanks to his doctoral studies) how easily he can translate them to the structure of other languages that I’m familiar with (like Japanese and French as well as English) so that I can make links between them and learn faster. He regularly prompts me to create sentences that build on the principle that he just taught me, and is excellent in guiding me towards an answer without immediately giving it away. Yashar has a super sunny disposition and just genuinely loves teaching, which means that I love all the time I spend learning with him!”

“Yashar is an excellent teacher! He is very friendly and encourages/challenges you to comprehend the language which is so important when learning a new language! I am excited for more appointments and get to be taught by someone like Yashar!”

“Yashar makes learning interesting and scaffolds really well. Great teacher!“

“Yashar is an excellent teacher. He’s great at assessing where I’m at and what I need to continue to develop my Farsi. Highly recommend!”

“I have studied Farsi on and off for many years and after one lesson with Yashar, I feel I’ve entered a whole new dimension of understanding. For the first time ever I feel that I could actually REALLY learn this language! Plus he is the most fun and pleasant person to work with. So grateful!”

“Yashar was awesome, he really knows what he’s doing, and he makes me feel like he’s got me in good hands. He’s also really funny, and I love spending time with him. Merci jaanam!:)”

“Yashar is fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable with a great teaching style.”

“Yashar is knowledgeable, affable, and methodical. What a combination! He does a great job of assessing where I am and encouraging me to stretch to figure out the structure of the language as we go.”
