Although a qualified medical doctor, I gave up medicine for good to devote my whole professional life, which spans over 30 years, to experiencing, experimenting with and developing new ways and ideas in a variety of fields including education-related issues, management, and web creation. My professional record, covered in more detail in my CV, includes:
- Director and pedagogic consultant (with a record of having established and directed several language centres including a medical English centre)
- In-service training course designer and manager (general and medical English)
- Teacher-training course instructor
- Head of translation department and chief translator/editor (Persian, English)
- Distance-learning and e-learning project manager
- Web concept developer and designer
- Language teacher (General English, Medical and Scientific English, FCE, IELTS, Persian)
I am Iranian and have been living in France for several years. I am self-employed and also work at different universities as what we call “enseignant vacataire” (adjunct?) in France. I teach online and face-to-face, read, write, develop websites, listen to music, go for walks, and…
Over years, I have had the privilege of working at many different companies, institutes and universities, where I have met and learnt from colleagues and students alike, and have hopefully helped created a better educational and cultural environment. Here are some of them:
- Asynux (a Parisian training training centre where I was in charge of the langua-learning department)
- ILIS (Institut lillois d’ingénierie de la santé, université Lille 2)
- FCEP (Formation Continue Education Permanente, université Lille 3)
- FCD (Faculté de Chirurgie Dentaire, université Lille 2)
- Institut Curie (Paris)
- FST (Faculté des Sciences et Technologie, université Paris Est)
- Sciences Po (Institut d’études politiques de Lille)
- EPITECH (Grand École Informatique, Lille)
Although I usually have my hands quite full, I remain open to new challenges where I can help create something of value, where I can continue to grow and further realize my potentials, and where my work bears results and is appreciated… in that order.
