Description

Hello! A little bit about myself. It has been a long time since volunteering and discovering cultures, meeting people, and nature became my passion. I also want to use my energy, skills and other my capacities for good purposes. I am a humanitarian aid worker, though before I became a paid professional, I did years of volunteering. When I have breaks, I want to volunteer, work with people and nature and discover. As you probably noticed, I love nature, especially the sea! And my other big passion is music. I love doing things with my own hands, I get very happy when I need to plant trees or construct something. I am also happy when I make others happy. I speak English, Farsi, Russian. I am learning French and Arabic at the moment.

More details about my language interests
I enjoy teaching and training. I am quite experienced in training overall, though I am less experienced in teaching languages. I was mainly assiting to my friends and classmates and colleagues explaining, learning, and preparing for tests, so more one-on-one teaching experience. I can teach the beginners level. For English, I could also teach intermediate level, although I am not officially certified for teaching.

More details about your skills

I have grown up in a village, so, practically, I can do anything. I am good with plants and animals, I worked in environmental protection planting trees and cultivating indigenous tree species, so I feel very good in nature. I can tolerate both cold and hot weather conditions as I lived in very different environments: from -25 degrees to +43. I am also good with people, and I used to work in health care. I enjoy working with children as well. When it comes to the IT, I can also do a range of things, I worked in different areas including communications and data analysis. I constantly lear new things, including languages. I can speak fluently 3 languages (and my mother tongue), and I have an intermediate level for another 3 languages.
