Every language is a system of persuasion — I teach English the way I study politics: by understanding how people really think.
A political scientist by training (MA, University of Tehran) and a full-time English educator in İstanbul — bringing political psychology and real-world communication into the language classroom.
01 — The Educator
To teach a language is to teach how people persuade, connect and understand one another.
§
A political scientist by training and an English educator by profession, Hamid teaches at the intersection of language and human behaviour.
Graduate research at the University of Tehran centred on political psychology and political behaviour — how conviction, grievance and rhetoric move people. That same curiosity about how humans communicate shapes every lesson.
Across institutes in İstanbul and Iran — from full-time classrooms to a head-teacher role — Hamid has taught English at every level, in three languages he speaks himself.
