I am CELTA certified from Cambridge University with Mphil in English Linguistics. I have been teaching English for last 8 years for various proficiency tests/assessments. I have presented my research papers both nationally and internationally. I also have paper publications in journals besides chapters publications in conference proceeding books. I believe in my capabilities and try to facilitate an English language learner as much as I can. I am also official OET Preparation Provider with knowledge badge from Cambridge Boxhil Language Assessment (CBLA).
'Nothing is impossible' that's the key rule and the only strategy which keeps you going in the right direction. I usually diagnose student's core issues and accordingly tailor my lessons. For instance, if a student is facing problems in speaking, I increase speaking activities with additional vocabulary and related exercises. On the other hand, if he/she is weak in functional language, grammatical concepts are revised more frequently to meet their needs. I also believe in continuous assessment--on weekly basis, so that it is easy for both of us to keep track of the learning.
The only thing you can give is your motivation and will to do something, rest the learning is my responsibility.
Whether it is IELTS or Spoken English; English language is a skill, and it becomes easy if you know the right way. Sometimes students believe that practice is the key and they keep on solving practice tests again and again, but unfortunately they end up getting worse scores. The reason is that they don't know about their weak areas and errors they are making.
So, follow the following steps:
1st Set your goals
2nd Select your mentor
3rd Push your limits
In the end, a piece of advice, 'persistence and hard work are the keys to success but remember in the right direction.
Enjoy your success and celebrate your achievements!!!

A natural language teacher - a very rewarding experience overall

I have been having lessons with Mam Sabah for quite a while. Each session has been well-planned, enjoyable and useful. She is an excellent teacher and a delight to study with. She is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material and she is patient and extremely professional at all times.
I'd say she is capable of teaching English at any level.
Highly recommended!

My ideal Teacher for all the times?

I've been remained student of Madam Sabah.She is so persistent as well as skilled in her profession.I would like to qoute her lines that all endings are the beginnings so if any one is gonna endup wth broken heart i would suggest him or her to make a new start with her she's been serving amongst different institutions.No doubt she is multitalented nd very hardworking teacher.
May Allah give her more and more success in her life.. ameen
