What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values language education and offers growth opportunities.

I am a TEFL-certified English language educator with over 14 years of experience teaching learners of all ages. My journey in education has been complemented by my role as an accomplished translator, having published eight books across diverse fields. My expertise extends to interpreting in multilingual settings, where I have honed my skills in communication and cultural exchange.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various capacities, including as an interpreter and office manager at the Oil Refinery of Abadan, where I facilitated communication between Chinese partners and managed office operations. My teaching experience spans multiple institutions, where I have adapted my methods to meet the diverse needs of my students, ensuring effective learning outcomes.

Currently pursuing a Master’s in English/American Studies with a focus on linguistics, I am dedicated to continuous professional development. My passion for linguistics drives my research interests, and I am committed to expanding my knowledge in this field while contributing to the academic community through my translations and publications.
