Taskeen Sheikh Teaching English to Foreign students
No reviews yet

I am a well trained, CELTA qualified and experienced teacher for English as a Foreign Language and Business English. In addition, the Master's degree in English and German has helped me facilitate and head the department of languages. Having worked in international schools and different boards has enriched my teaching experiences with multilingual students. Thus I'm well versed with the language barriers students face.

As a teacher, I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I aim to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions, while fostering confidence in order for students to realise their full potential.

Through my teaching experience, I have found the method of facilitating rather than dictating to be a highly beneficial style of teaching. I hope to instill a love of learning and a desire for constant knowledge within each student.

An indepth discussion and analysis of students' needs is the first step to begin with. So, what are you waiting for? Do contact me if you wish to achieve your dreams and goals.
