My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

Welcome to a Japanese class where language, culture, and real‐life experience come together.
My lessons are designed for anyone who wants to learn Japanese in a warm, friendly, and practical way—whether you’re a complete beginner, a traveler preparing for Japan, or someone who simply loves Japanese culture.

I have taught English for five years in an elementary school and have experience teaching Japanese to international students. I also work as a cultural guide, introducing visitors to kimono, temples, food culture, and everyday customs. Because of this, my lessons go beyond textbooks: you’ll learn expressions you can actually use in real situations.

I can support Spanish‐speaking learners as well, as I speak Spanish at a B1 level and can explain grammar and expressions clearly when needed.

If you want to travel confidently, make Japanese friends, enjoy conversations, or prepare for job interviews, I will guide you step by step at your own pace.
Let’s explore the language—and the heart—of Japan together.

In this lesson,I will show you the real China, the one I've explored through my camera lens and my own travels. From reading airport signs to ordering food like a local, I'll make sure you're ready for every step of your journey.

▸Who I Work With?
- First-time visitors to China: Feeling excited but a little anxious about the language barrier? This course is built for you. I'll walk you through everything you need before you even pack your bags.

- Independent travelers: You don't want a tour guide. You want to explore on your own. I'll teach you how to navigate cities, use local apps, and handle real-life situations with confidence.

- Culture lovers: You've seen the videos. You've heard the stories. Now you want to experience the real China for yourself. I'll help you go beyond the tourist trail.

- Short-term visitors and exchange students: Landing in China soon and need to hit the ground running? We'll cover everything from setting up payment apps to ordering your first meal.

- Anyone who's ever thought "I wish I could speak a little Chinese": It's never too late to start. I'll make it practical, fun, and immediately useful.

If you're looking for a traditional, grammar-heavy Chinese course, this isn't it. But if you want to arrive in China feeling prepared, confident, and ready to explore, let's get started.

──────────────────

▸What You Can Expect?

Every lesson is built around real travel scenarios. No boring drills, no abstract grammar. Just the Chinese you'll actually use. The course is divided into three practical phases:

Phase 1: Before You Go (Pre-Trip Essentials)

- Understanding visa requirements and the latest entry procedures
- Setting up essential apps: WeChat, Alipay, ride-hailing, and navigation tools
- Learning the basics of mobile payment and getting connected (eSIM, local SIM)
- Cultural do's and don'ts to avoid common mistakes

Phase 2: Hit the Ground (Survival Skills)

- Airport navigation: reading arrival signs, customs, baggage claim
- Getting to your hotel: taking a taxi, using ride-hailing apps, giving directions
- Hotel check-in: asking about Wi-Fi, breakfast times, luggage storage
- Eating out: reading menus, ordering food, understanding prices, paying the bill
- City transport: buying subway tickets, reading metro maps, taking high-speed trains

Phase 3: Go Deeper (Beyond Survival)

- Visiting tourist sites: booking tickets online, reading attraction guides
- Shopping and bargaining: asking prices, negotiating at markets
- Local experiences: understanding tea house menus, theater schedules, local customs
- Making connections: simple conversations to connect with locals
- Each lesson is a complete "mission." By the end, you'll have a personalized travel toolkit ready for your trip.

──────────────────

▸Teaching Style

I believe learning should feel like an adventure, not a chore. My teaching style is practical, patient, and highly interactive.

As a documentary filmmaker and designer, I use real photos, videos, and maps from my own travels across China. You'll see the actual signs you'll encounter, the real menus you'll read, and the streets you might walk down. No fake textbook scenarios.

I won't overwhelm you with grammar rules. Instead, I'll give you the exact phrases and cultural insights you need, and help you practice them in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome. That's how you learn.

──────────────────

▸Teaching Materials & Resources

I don't rely on a single textbook. Instead, I create custom learning materials based on your specific itinerary and interests:

- Real-world visuals: Travel photos, and authentic images of Chinese signs, menus, and tickets
- Interactive simulations: We'll use live apps like maps, ride-hailing, and ordering platforms together during class
- Personalized survival kit: I'll build a custom phrasebook and vocabulary list for your trip, tailored to your destinations
- Practical worksheets: Airport flowcharts, hotel check-in scripts, restaurant ordering templates, and more

──────────────────

▸A Note on Textbooks
A good textbook gives us structure, so I may use materials from Discover China, Short-term Spoken Chinese, or Road to Success as a foundation. But I always go beyond the textbook, bringing in real-world examples from my own experience. You'll learn the language that actually gets used, not the stuff that only exists in a classroom.

You've booked the ticket. Now make sure you can actually talk to people when you get there.

This course is for travelers heading to Latin America who want real, practical Spanish — not textbook exercises. We focus on the conversations you'll actually need: bargaining at markets, asking for directions (and understanding the answer), ordering food, making friends at a hostel, navigating buses and border crossings, and handling the unexpected.

What we cover:
• Survival phrases and pronunciation that locals actually understand
• Regional slang and how it changes from Mexico to Argentina
• Numbers, time, transport, food, accommodation
• How to be polite, funny, and direct in Spanish
• Emergency phrases you hope you never need — but should have

Classes are conversational from day one. No boring grammar drills. You'll practice with real scenarios from the road.

I'm a native Spanish speaker with deep knowledge of Latin American culture. Whether you're spending a week in Colombia or 6 months backpacking South America, I'll get you talking with confidence.

Flexible scheduling. Online via video call.

Persian is my native language, and teaching my language and culture is a true passion of mine. What makes my approach unique is my academic background: I hold a doctorate in French literature. This long and enriching journey has not only given me a profound mastery of the French language, but it has also taught me how literature—whether Persian or French—can be a magnificent tool for teaching a living language. Thanks to this dual cultural background and rigorous training, I know how to help a French-speaking learner grasp the logic of Persian, to feel its poetry, precision, and beauty. With me, you won't just learn vocabulary and grammar: you will discover Persian through its stories, its literature, and its soul.
