Hi there! My name's Michael and I've got a passion for helping people communicate comfortably. My goal is to help beginning and early-conversational learners feel confident in their Persian speaking skills.
If you're reading this, the great news is that you already speak a language! Meaning, that there are no new difficulties (grammatical, pronunciational, conceptual, etc.) that cannot be overcome. As a native English speaker, career linguist, and hobbyist polyglot, I am here to help you navigate all the difficulties of language learning!

Welcome to the world of Persian! Our itinerary is simple.
Any language starts with sounds, and to make sure that your Persian learning journey begins the same way as it does for native speakers, we'll do a deep dive into Persian phonetics! Alongside this there is of vocabulary to learn, and easy tricks to remember every new word we learn! The Persian writing system (which is not as scary as it seems) will be introduced.
Next, we will focus on memorization of phrases and conversational cues, begin to talk about grammatical concepts which exist in Persian, and comprehend how they differ from what we might expect as English-speakers.
We'll explore common life themes to get you comfortable speaking about the things you're most likely to. Being able to master a few topics will encourage you a ton, by showing you that language learning is simply a matter of covering ground and reviewing.
You'll soon see for yourself that you CAN converse with comfort when you give yourself patience, encouragement and practice! We'll continue to develop depth in a variety of common life genres of conversation, one by one.
Finally we will move to longer, more advanced texts and grammar to expose you to Persian in a variety circumstances and give you the opportunity to begin to مخلوط کردن (makh-LUT kardan - 'to mix') vocabulary from one theme of conversation into another. A creative speaker is born!
Along the way, we will use interactive media like films, music, poetry, cooking, and many more societal touchstones! I am so excited to meet you! (First TWO lessons are always free.)

Perfect! Michael is a great tutor. He is extremely knowledgeable and helps break down concepts in ways that are digestible. He explains very well why certain things are the way that they are, which for my style of learning is very important. I look forward to our sessions every week.

Michael has a true gift for teaching. His enthusiasm and patience with language beginners is unmatched. While studying Persian, I felt that he fostered an environment where I wanted to do better every day, and gave me all the tools to do so, but without any sense of judgement when life has gotten hectic on my end and I didn't meet all of my goals. He is a skilled teacher! I am so happy I found Michael, and am excited to begin a new language (Hebrew) with him soon!
Michael is an excellent teacher with an incredible intuition for languages. Over the course of a summer spent at an institute for Jewish learning, Michael would regularly volunteer to assist other students in Hebrew vocabulary and grammar, doing so with warmth, patience, and humor. If you are looking for a Hebrew teacher, I highly recommend Michael!
Michael was extremely helpful in teaching me grammar fundamentals and has a wide background in a number of languages overall. He’s a great person to learn with!
Michael is an incredible teacher. I have worked with him for years and he has the rare gift of being passionate about the language while also being immensely knowledgeable about its intricacies, rules, and exceptions. I highly recommend Michael for all of your French language needs!
