    Recommendations

    It is my pleasure to provide a letter of recommendation for Arash Zaker Nezhad. I worked with Arash in the 2020-21 academic year at Lethbridge College where he was hired as a Peer Tutor. During his time with our department, he tutored a variety of Computer Information Technology courses. Arash secured a recommendation for this position from one of his instructors based on his attitude towards learning and his desire to help fellow classmates. Throughout his time as a Peer Tutor, Arash performed his duties consistently and professionally all while communicating clearly and patiently. Balancing a class schedule, study schedule and an on-call work schedule can be quite challenging, but Arash was able to prioritize in a way that accommodated those in need. Arash was always gracious in his dealings with me and the students he tutored. Given the opportunity to hire Arash again, I would based on his pleasant personality, attention to detail and solid work ethic.

    Arash is hardworking, intelligent, focused, and dependable. He is one of the best employees I have managed. He went above and beyond for me countless times and was someone I trusted fully. I have no doubt he will be an asset wherever he goes! If you need someone you can rely on who won’t hesitate to go the extra mile this is your guy.
