Yashar Khazdouzian

Fantastic fantastic first class!! Yashar moved at just the right pace - I felt not a single moment was wasted! Many analogies were drawn between languages to help me contextualize the role of each connector/pronoun/conjugation. Could not have asked for more. I'm now very pumped to be taking on "mission impossible". Let's set the record for both, and then top it off with that long awaited paper ;).

Yashar is a fantastic teacher! I've been studying with him for less than a year, and I've gone from having zero Farsi to understanding complex sentence structures and advanced verb tenses. He is sharp at discerning a student's proficiency level and areas of weakness, and he comes up with creative, effective exercises to strengthen those areas. He's also flexible and accommodating. And on top of all that, classes with him are fun! You will laugh a lot and learn a ton. (That wasn't meant to rhyme.)

Initial trial lesson went great. Yashar was very patient, knowlegable and fun to talk to. Looking forward to working more with him!

Best language teacher I have ever had. Love learning Farsi. Fantastic experience.

I just had my third class with Yashar and he’s an absolute delight. I truly appreciate how thoroughly he understands the language and its building blocks, and (thanks to his doctoral studies) how easily he can translate them to the structure of other languages that I’m familiar with (like Japanese and French as well as English) so that I can make links between them and learn faster. He regularly prompts me to create sentences that build on the principle that he just taught me, and is excellent in guiding me towards an answer without immediately giving it away. Yashar has a super sunny disposition and just genuinely loves teaching, which means that I love all the time I spend learning with him!
