Marzieh Varshosaz

As a volunteer teacher at this center I:

• Prepared comprehensive English curriculum for multiple classes.
• Planned dynamic lessons to increase student comprehension of books and literary concepts.
• Prepared and implemented lesson plans covering required course topics.

I have 6 published novels (English to Farsi) through Porteghaal Publications; all of which have been republished at least ten times; the record being a translation of The War That Saved My Life republished more than 30 times. Four have won prestigious Iranian translation awards. I have received many many letters from teenagers who have written to tell me about how the books have moved them, or given them new goals in life.

• Planned dynamic lessons to increase younger student's comprehension of books and literary concepts.
• Kept classroom organized, clean and safe for students and visitors.

This language school is a sub-branch of University of Tehran.

In two years only, I was promoted from teaching General English to adults to instructing pre-TOEFL classes.
