About Sohrab
I have three years of experience teaching General English to non-English speakers, through the ESA (Engagement, Study, Activation) method. During the past three years, I have been a graduate Writing Fellow at the Writing & Learning Centre of ons of the most prestigious colleges in Canada. I also have many hours of professional development courses and workshops on best practices of teaching in my resumé, and my education, experiences, and creative work provide me with the necessary insight for teaching, tutoring, or mentoring academic writing (essays, papers, theses, etc.), professional writing (resumés, cover letters, emails, etc.), and creative writing (poetry, short fiction, rhetorics, etc.).
Educationally, I am a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at Western University, with an MA in English Literature from the University of Victoria and another Master's degree in Human Resource Management.
Professionally, other than being a teacher in many different capacities, I have been working for the past two years as an Academic/Professional writing tutor at Huron University College's Writing Centre and have taught occasional workshops on creative writing or World Literature. I also worked as a recruiter for about a year, which gives me a good insight into best practices for Resumés, Cover Letters, as well as other administrative documents.
Creatively, I have more than 15 years of background in Poetry and Fiction in my mother tongue, with two full-length collections published, and more than seven years of experience in writing Poetry in English with many publications in literary journals and magazines.

I take pride in my student-oriented teaching method. In my classes, you will be the one who should do the main activity; I am just the facilitator, and I'll be happy to help you find your path through the fascinating world of languages, literatures, and writing conventions. For teaching new material, I use engaging methods including watching movies, playing games, and having fun, alongside the serious material I expect my students to work with. I teach from basic levels (New to writing, specifically for creative writing and poetry) up to the advanced level of English writing conventions (like working on theses together). I use the critical insight I gained into English literary works during my graduate studies and my World Literature knowledge as a poet and writer of a non-English background myself, finishing my PhD dissertation in Comparative Literature.
I mostly teach creative writing as well as post-secondary and professional level. For High school, I only work with students who need help with elective courses like World Literature or Creative Writing, as well as essay assignments only for grades 11 or 12.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
Sohrab is a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and patient teacher. He knows exactly how to guide learners throughout their learning journey and makes the whole process enjoyable and motivating.
Sohrab has numerous good qualities. Educated as he is, you can trust his knowledge and be sure you will get a good result from his courses. He is an open-minded person, so you can experience the world freely. Outgoing, sociable and intelligent, Sohrab is an awesome teacher. You can get the most out of his courses.
I came across Sohrab's harmonica lesson services through this platform and although it was my first time giving said instrument a go and I was quite nervous about this learning experience, he made our first few sessions refreshing, understandable and a highlight was the clear outline he utilised. His overall teaching methodology is versatile and empathetic, which, in my opinion, would make him a great instructor not only for music lessons but also in other fronts he's well-versed in.
Sohrab is a very patient and knowledgeable teacher, the best qualities a teacher must have,he has tenfold, he is the best teacher I've ever had and could not have asked for a better one to be honest.
I had the pleasure of learning from Sohrab . as a student, i was a witness to the remarkable qualities of him.
He is an excellent English teacher .He is a favorite among students and can truly make any lesson more exciting and interesting to his class.his teaching style is truly innovative and unique. Sohrab uses a variety of strategies to make his teaching more effective. his cheerful attitude and excellent work ethics are indeed admirable.
Having been his student for a year , i have seen all these outstanding characteristics in Sohrab .He will surely be an asset .I find him highly qualified for a teaching position .He is one of the best language teachers, very kind with knowledge and patient, he learns the most knowledge in the shortest time, I recommend you try to teach him.
I've played with Sohrab for more than 5 years and I see him as a great great Harmonica player on and off the stage. Moreover he is naturally a good mentor and years of practice in teaching music and music theory, and English has made an amazing teacher of him.
A good strength of Sohrab's music career is that he is a multi-instrumentalist ! Thus he has a great musical vision which is rare in many music teachers. There were times where we have played together while I was at the guitar and he was at the keyboard, Harmonica or guitar, and lately Setar (a persian traditional string instrument), which is another rig he teaches.
He is also a nice guy and you would definitely enjoy art talks with him, since HE does so!View more recommendations

In-Person Fees:
In-person classes are available in London, Ontario, Canada, in your house or public places with an extra 5$ transportation fee. I rarely accept students in my own place, but if we can come to an agreement about the time, in-person classes in my place only have an extra fee of 2.5$ a session.
Regularity:
Discipline and having a routine are amongst the most important things in learning anything. It also helps me as the teacher to manage my time and allocate it to all my students in an orderly manner. Therefore, my classes are either "Weekly" or "Bi-Weekly", and we cannot have random sessions. For exceptional situations when you cannot attend on schedule, please see the cancellation policy below.
Cancellation Policy:
For every 5 sessions, you can cancel one session free of charge as long as you give me at least 24 hours' notice. If you cancel more than 1 in every 5 sessions or you give notice within 24 hours before the class, you will be charged for the session. Naturally and ethically, the emergency cases are exempted from this rule if any evidence about the emergency is provided.

Essay Revisions:
If you require essay revisions as well as (or instead of) Academic/Creative Writing Tutoring, it will be charged separately, with the rate of 25$/1000 words. I don't write essays or copyedit/proofread them, but I will give line-by-line comments on your own essays, including grammar, punctuation, academic writing rules and styles, as well as some additional ideas you can use to improve your arguments. The same can be said for professional and creative writing texts, while the nature of comments might be slightly different in accordance with the genre.
