    Dear Sir or Madam:
    My Name is Marjanne Motamedi. It gives me great satisfaction to write this letter of recommendation for Mrs. Nahid Hagigat.
    Let me go back in time…. My mother had a stroke at the age of 86 in 2016 One of her passion and hobby in life was to paint. After her stroke she was simply unable to remember how to even hold a brush. A friend of mine who knew of Mrs. Hagigat gave me her information. Few days later I had the pleasure to meet with her and she agreed to give few painting lessons to my mother.
    Four years later, here we are, my mother eagerly looks forward for her weekly lesson. She has painted over 100 paintings……
    Mrs. Hagigat is an exceptional teacher. Her enthusiasm, passion and dedication for the craft of teaching is limitless. She engages and motivates her student(s). What she has accomplished with my mother is nothing short of a miracle.
    In conclusion, I recommend Mrs Hagigat without reservation.
    Respectfully submitted,
    Marjanne Motamedi

    September, 2020 To Whom it May Concern, I wholeheartedly recommend Nahid Hagigat as an art teacher. She was my art teacher for almost four years and I will always cherish the times we had together. She is firm, yet gentle, fun and funny, and most of all, incredibly talented. Every week, I looked forward to working with her on my drawings, water-colors and oil paintings. We took turns drawing landscapes, still lifes, nudes, and also I had the chance to experiment with creating work from my imagination. She always pushed me to work harder, inspired me to draw regularly, and most importantly, made the lessons engaging. Sincerely, Sara Nodjoumi

    To Whom It May Concern, I have known Nahid Hagigat for many years as an artist and a teacher. Several years ago, when I needed to learn watercolor painting, so I could help my elementary students with their projects, I asked Ms. Hagigat for help. She taught me the basics to advanced techniques of using watercolor. Later, not only were my students successful with their projects, I self-published several childrens books using watercolor. Ms. Hagigat is a dedicated and knowledgeable teacher. She patiently explains the watercolor process and guides her students in using the material. She gives her students encouragement and self assurance. She will be an asset to any institution and any student who has her as a teacher will be the lucky one. - Fereshteh Bokhour September 22, 2020

    Mina McAllister 917-864-7119 9/22/2020 To whom it may concern: I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Nahid Hagigat as an art teacher. I have been familiar with her work as an artist for many years, and was fortunate enough, along with my husband, to have her as a private art instructor in drawing and acrylic painting. We have taken classes with her over the course of two years. Ms. Hagigat’s technical skill as an artist is superb, and she is able to translate this to even the most novice artists. She is patient, and able to break down the concepts of shading, perspective, and vision in order to develop our skills and build our confidence. She provided us with creative lessons, building from the most basic skills, and providing detailed instruction to improve our techniques. As my husband and I have different learning styles, I was able to observe Ms. Hagigat’s ability to tailor her methods to each of our abilities and styles. I would recommend Ms. Hagigat as an art teacher without reservation. Sincerely, Mina McAllister

    To whom it may concern,
    I am writing to recommend Nahid Hagigat as an outstanding, brilliant, and skilled art teacher.
    I have been working with Nahid for over eighteen months, and I can’t praise her knowledge, compassion, and talent enough.
    Since I live in Los Angeles, CA, I was skeptical of working remotely with her, but she made it feel seamless and perfectly doable. Her precision, attention to details, and tremendous talent make it as if she is there in the room with me. I have grown artistically so much because of her teachings.
    Her incredible adaptability and flexibility make me feel very comfortable and eager to push myself beyond my comfort zone. She makes each session fun, inspiring, and full of new techniques. Her passion inspires me to be creative and express my emotions freely and vividly while teaching me valuable water-color techniques, pencil drawing, and acrylic on canvas.
    I highly recommend Nahid; with her dedication and abundance of knowledge, Nahid is an asset and will surpass your expectations.
    Please feel free to contact me for any further information you might need.

    Frequently asked questions

    First I would like to evaluate the students' artwork. Then according to my finding, I would start with a few sessions of drawings. This preliminary start is necessary to build the way to continue art sessions in any media that the student wishes.
