Farsi lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering farsi lessons
You teach Farsi, or Persian, covering the script, pronunciation, grammar and conversation. Your listing should explain your background and the learners you help, such as families or professionals.
What customers ask
- I want to speak with my parents in Farsi. Where do I start?
- Can you teach me to read the script quickly?
- How do you teach the ezafe? I cannot get it right.
- I am moving to a Farsi speaking area for work. Can you focus on what I need?
- Do you teach children, and how do you keep them interested?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask who the student wants to speak with and whether they want to read and write.
- Offer a short listening and reading check, and explain how it will set the first lessons.
- Show a sample lesson built on a real situation, such as a family meal or a conversation at work.
- Share a short example of a script drill so the student sees how you teach letters.
- Put the lesson count, script timeline, homework and re-check date in the quote.
- Say whether you teach the script, the spoken form or both, so students can choose you with confidence.
What to put on your profile
- Your Farsi training, such as a degree, a teaching certificate or time spent living in a Farsi speaking area.
- Whether you are a native speaker or a trained second language teacher, and the skills you teach.
- Photos of your teaching space or online set-up, with no student faces unless they agree.
- The learner types you work with, such as families, professionals or students in school.
- Reviews that name the goal and what the student achieved, once they agree to share them.
Follow-up that helps the customer
- After a level check, suggest a short plan with one clear goal and a date to re-check.
- Send a list of the letters, words and grammar covered in each lesson so the student can practice them.
- Recommend a reading course or a conversation group when the student's goal fits, and let them choose.
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach Farsi privately. Keep your degree, certificate or references ready, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need.
