I have 19 years of experience of highly successful teaching. I always discuss the needs of my new students very carefully and aim to build their confidence in the subject.

I've been taking sessions with Mava for about 2 months. She's taught me a lot about grammar, pronunciation, and conversation skills. I really enjoy her class! Thank you Mava. I totally recommend you.

Mava is heaven sent! An absolute angel! I am learning Farsi and Persian cooking from her. I feel my horizons are broadened, my friends are impressed, and I have a list of people dying to come to dinner on Thursday nights! A private tutor in my own home. What a perfect concept!

Mava is a nice, pleasant, patient, professional tutor. She is teaching ESL to my daughter and my daughter likes her very much and enjoys the class because she learns a lot of her teacher. Mava is a serious but very friendly teacher which makes her the perfect choice for a good teacher. She knows what she is doing and she is a responsible person. I highly recommend her as an excellent tutor.

Mava was very informative and made learning Farsi fun. She answered my questions gracefully. Working with her was a positive experience. It seems she has mastery of the Persian language as well as teaching it.

Joshua N. from Burbank, CA
Mava is very patient and easy to work with. She is currently teaching me Persian - I am in an interesting place in that I have picked up some of the language already which makes it difficult to know where to hop in exactly but I feel she is doing a great job identifying where I need work. She is very nice, punctual, and I never feel like she is waiting for the hour to be up so she can leave - she is engaged the whole time and there for me. I have only had 2 sessions so far, but I anticipate she will be my tutor for the next few years as I try to master this language.

If you are looking for a Persian language tutor, I highly recommend Mava (Mary.) She's a very kind, patient, and knowledgeable teacher. You will comfortable trying out new words and sentences. Mary explains grammatical concepts in a very clear, concise way. She's an all around super teacher!
Elena E. from Los Angeles, CA
I have started my tutoring with Mava (Fatemeh) and at this point I am really happy with her. I have a lot of concerns with my Persian and need a lot of guidance. I look forward to practicing speaking and listening with her! She was very patient with me and also let me go over parts of speech/syntax that is important for me.

My wife and I needed a hurry-up, crash course in Farsi to prep us for a vacation trip to Iran. Mava not only taught us a treasury of useful words and phrases but also gave us a primer on contemporary Iran customs and manners. We highly recommend her!

Mava is kind and patient with my 6 year old daughter. She has taught more to her in 2 lessons and has been more effective than the last 3 months at a previous school. She is wonderful!
