About Darian
I’m Darian — a writer, editor, and tutor with over 8 years of professional experience and more than 1,500 hours of online and in-person teaching. Though I'm new to Superprof, since 2019 I’ve helped 100+ students strengthen their writing, refine their ideas, and reach their academic goals.
I hold a dual Bachelor’s degree in Social Theory & Practice and French & Francophone Studies from the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor (ranked the #1 public university in the U.S.), where I graduated with highest honors and over $25,000 in merit-based scholarships. I later earned a Master’s degree in Geography and Urban Planning from the University of Toronto, where I also served as Vice President of my student government.
Alongside English, Literature, and Academic Writing, I also tutor Social Sciences & Humanities (Geography, History, Sociology, Politics, Anthropology, Art History, and French). Having studied and worked in both the U.S. and Canada, I understand the subtle differences between education systems, and I help students navigate them with confidence.
I am a native English speaker and also fluent in French (B2) and Spanish (B2), with conversational knowledge of Persian (A2). Being a lifelong learner myself, I love helping students see language and ideas as tools to think more clearly, communicate more effectively, and express themselves more fully.

ABOUT MY LESSONS
My teaching approach is student-centered, practical, and results-driven. In our first session, I’ll assess your level, learning style, and goals. From there, I’ll design lessons that meet your immediate needs while building long-term skills.
For students focused on academic success, I can help you with:
+ Essay writing and structuring arguments
+ Thesis development and editing
+ Reading comprehension and critical analysis
+ Academic writing in English and the humanities
+ Professional and research communication
For students who also want to improve their language fluency, I bring in methods from my ESL teaching to support:
+ Clearer writing style
+ Stronger vocabulary
+ Polished grammar
+ Confident expression in both academic and professional contexts
A typical lesson includes reviewing key concepts, working through your questions and assignments, and applying what you’ve learned in real-world or course-specific contexts. If you’d like, I can provide exercises and optional homework between sessions to help you make steady progress.
I work best with high school and university students — especially ambitious learners who want to go beyond simply “getting an A.” My goal is to help you develop clarity, depth, and confidence in your writing and thinking so you can succeed in school and beyond.
As both a teacher and an artist, I value curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity. I also create a supportive space for learning — especially for students from diverse backgrounds and for those in the LGBTQ+ community.
If you’re looking for a tutor who combines academic excellence, extensive teaching experience, and a genuine passion for learning, I’d be excited to work with you!

Darian worked with me at the University of Michigan’s Residential College. Darian is extremely hardworking, caring and reliable. And I mean it.
I would always feel so much relief when we were assigned to write together. Knowing that not only would we finish something on time, but that it would exceed expectations.
Darian has a great combination of academic writing and creative writing expertise.
If he was great to work with 5 years ago, I can only imagine how much he has grown since then! I would highly recommend Darian.Darian and I have been friends for almost ten years and for that I feel immeasurably grateful! He is wise, kind, observant and astute. I respect his opinion and perspectives so much. Darian would make an amazing teacher because he is an amazing student! He is always listening and learning and dedicates his all to his creative and intellectual endeavors. Anyone would be lucky to receive his knowledge and guidance.
I first met Darian while being neighbours in the same area of the city about 4 years ago.
Darian is fantastic! His knowledge about everything from Pop Culture to Ornithology makes learning French with him fun and super engaging. I’d recommend him because he is patient and really knows how to motivate me by sparking my curiosity through the topics he brings about, always asking just the right questions to push us a bit further. I’ve learned so much and always look forward to our conversations. Any student would be lucky to have him!
We had a great session this summer at the park, eating some snacks while listening to French Pop songs, understanding the lyrics and singing along to some of them!
Darian's extensive knowledge and background in community-based arts and writing makes him an excellent communicator with a hands-on, DIY approach to creating, learning, and skillsharing.
