I firmly believe we humans are all deeply musical creatures and your musicality is likely to be dormant, underdeveloped or both. With passion, persistence, expert guidance and a lot of practice, you can develop that innate musical self just as well as anyone else. My teaching methods guide each student through a methodical and successful path in the musical learning process — from developing musical and technical skills to providing every pupil with the important tools necessary to develop focus in personal practice time and performance. Joy and play are essential elements of successful learning at any age, and I make certain that students learn without a lot of undue stress and anxiety. Adult students can expect the same support and respect as the youngest child. Without joy, there is no music, and without music, there is no joy. I believe my role as an educator is to facilitate and motivate each student in finding a successful and fluid piano technique, exploring their individual creative abilities and performance skills while also developing the fundamental understanding and mastery of each composition learned and performed.

Gender: female
I have an honours BA in Genetics from SRBIAU University and also I have teaching from Persia. I started both piano and xylophone privately from the age of five until the age of seventeen. My teachers were classically trained. My piano teacher was a student of one of the most famous Persian pianist, and the training I underwent was rigorous and detailed so was likewise detail oriented with exceptionally high standards and as I learned from her I can teach theory as well. My xylophone teacher was one of the most empathetic people And the most important thing that I learned from her except instrument was her personality and how to treat children so that they come to music with interest without any forced.
Have different kind of awards from famous different type of companies in Iran
My experience started with a very knowledgeable teacher in the field of xylophone, and in this way I got to know the beautiful world of music until she chose the piano as a permanent instrument. At the age of 6, I spent most of my time playing the piano during the day, and this helped me to improve my ear hearing skill as well.

1. Cancellation Policy
Lessons not cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice are billable to the client and payable to the teacher. This does not of course apply to travel fees unless the notice is effectively given at the door and the teacher has travelled to the location.
2. Cessation (quitting) Policy
A client must provide a 2 lesson notice period to stop lessons. So a weekly student needs to give 2 weeks of notice, a biweekly student works out to 3 weeks notice and a twice weekly student works out to a week of notice.
3. Illness Policy
Lessons cancelled due to illness or extraordinary circumstances with less than 24 hours notice remain billable to the client and payable to the teacher.
BAH teachers are encouraged to offer a make-up lesson at a future date in the interest of client relations and general goodwill. This only makes sense as teaching a student with the flu for example, will ruin the rest of your week's employment.
No more than 2 lessons may be made up due to illness within a 60 day period.
4. Rescheduling Policy
Any lesson can be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice.
Summer Vacation and Extended Absence Policy
Clients may schedule longer absences for trips etc. 24 hours notice is required.
It is normal and typical for students and about 20% of our teachers to schedule a break in the summer. We do not enforce a notice period (see cessation of lessons) at the end of a long summer break.
5. Evaluation Period
There are no free trial lessons with Beethoven at Home but we do offer a 2 lesson evaluation period where it is easy to try out a teacher. There are no free lessons during the evaluation period and clients may choose to discontinue the lessons at any time by providing the required 24 hours notice. After the student's 3rd lesson the required 2 lesson notice period will apply (see cessation of lessons above).
