Samira Mehdipoor
@samiramehdipoor
Bilingual Persian-English AI trainer improving language quality for global content.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual Persian-English professional with a strong background in academic research, writing, proofreading, content evaluation, and higher education. I combine linguistic precision with analytical reading to deliver clarity, coherence, and tone that work in real-world use.
In my current role as a Proofreader, Beta Reader & Content Creator on Upwork (Remote), I provide proofreading, editing, and beta reading for English-language content. I also support AI-related language and evaluation tasks requiring high linguistic accuracy, while collaborating remotely with international clients on content-focused projects.
Previously, I served as a Lecturer at Islamic Azad University, teaching American Literature, Fiction, Drama, English Poetry, and Academic Writing. I designed lectures, assignments, and assessments focused on critical thinking and analytical reading, and guided students in research paper writing with individualized academic support and feedback.
I also bring quality and language expertise from software and translation work, including manual and usability testing as a Software Quality Control Specialist and English-to-Persian translation for technical materials. Across education, software quality assurance, and freelance digital environments, I’m driven by content creation, annotation, editing, and quality-focused workflows.
