Co-Founder, Master Pedagogue & Game-Based Learning Expert
Ms. Shohreh Sharifi is a highly celebrated, innovative educator and the co-founder of the Online Persian School. Recognized as a top national teacher in Iran, she has dedicated her career to modernizing early childhood education and making language acquisition an active, engaging, and joyful process.
Pioneering Modern Pedagogy
With rich expertise in science education, Persian language instruction, and educational technology, Ms. Sharifi has served as an evaluator in prestigious national teaching method contests and conducted numerous training workshops for fellow educators. Rather than relying on traditional, repetitive teaching systems, she is renowned for designing custom, game-based learning frameworks that naturally capture children’s imagination.
At the Online Persian School, Ms. Sharifi has successfully integrated these interactive methodologies into digital classrooms, using humor, storytelling, songs, and visual play to teach Persian.
What Families Say
Known to parents as a patient, warm, and exceptionally caring “gem” of a teacher, Ms. Sharifi has a unique gift for connecting with bilingual children who grow up abroad. Whether helping a child read their very first children’s book in just months or inspiring a reluctant speaker to eagerly chat in Persian with family, her classes transcend geographical boundaries to build lasting cultural bridges.
At Joghdi Publishing, Ms. Sharifi brings her profound classroom experience and deep understanding of children’s cognitive development to shape bilingual stories that are as educational as they are delightful to read.
