The biannual results of my teaching and research assessments by the students and the authorities of the universities I have worked with so far state that I am a strong oral communicator and lecturer in the classroom and an effective written communicator to both students and colleagues. I have a good reputation for excellent coaching, teaching and motivational skills when working with the individual students under my supervision. I am quite friendly and a warm caring person making interactions pleasant.

I have the experience and capability of writing and developing curriculum for all levels of courses I have taught so far. 

I am the English editor of "Persian Language and Iranian Dialects" which is one of the most important Persian Journals on Persian Language. I also work with some other journals as a referee.
