Teaching is what I love and enjoy the most! It is my passion and hobby. I like to understand a learner's academic problem, discuss it with them and work out a solution so that we can work together to achieve our goal.
My teaching methodology and techniques differ according to the learners' needs. However, I am very much enthusiast in communicative and interactive classroom environment. I prefer to use everyday life materials/subjects as examples for lesson topics so that learners can connect with target language easily.
Having experience in teaching students of all ages and backgrounds, from beginner level to advanced level, I certainly know how to motivate them and make them feel comfortable in an enjoyable learning environment.
My motto is anyone can learn a foreign language if proper guidance and encouragement is provided. I achieved my TEFL level 5 certificate very recently which strengthened my belief even more! It does not matter if a learner is in beginner/ intermediate/ advanced level and needs help in navigating through English (or Bangla language) because I am eager to teach those who are ready to learn, improve or develop language skills.
