Your host
Shamima
I am an experienced teacher and have been helping students to improve their English since 2002. I absolutely love my job, meeting and helping people develop their skills and confidence . I aim to put students at ease and all my lessons have a mix of speaking, listening, writing, reading and are always fun. I also believe in creativity and doing things in order to learn – so afternoon activities, sightseeing and meeting people are a must.
I am consultative in approach and aim to build a good understanding with my students, so that they feel relaxed and are then able to progress quickly and effectively.
