Shokofeh Crop.jpeg

Hi, I'm Shokofeh.

My full name is Shokofeh Hejazi. I was born and raised in Iran, where I studied Graphic Design as a college student. I have been teaching a variety of subjects, like art, history and literature, to students of all ages for the last 30 years, in Iran and the US. I began tutoring Farsi ten years ago in Torrance, California, where I live today.  I love bringing Persian culture and language to life in households where Farsi is brand new or at risk of being lost, as new generations of Iranian-Americans start their own families. I've also been known to teach students how to cook Persian food as part of their Farsi language lessons! 

Curious about the Farsi at the top of the page? It says, "Hello. Welcome!" And did you know that Shokofeh means blossom in Farsi? See, you're already learning! Here's what Shokofeh looks like in Farsi: شکوفه  

I look forward to working with you or your children, or both!
