About Farhaz

I'm a native speaker of English with extensive experience (around 10 years) as an English Language Teacher. I have taught various levels of General English (from Beginner to Advanced), as well as exam preparation courses such as IELTS, ESOL, FCE, CAE, Trinity, etc.

I have taught students from all around the world and I am everybody's favourite teacher - because teaching English is not just my job, it is my passion! I believe the best way to learn the language is by taking risks and having fun. My lessons are interesting but challenging, and I believe it is important to enjoy yourself when learning a language.

Qualifications:

BA (Linguistics):

I studied a four-year degree in Linguistics with Arabic. I decided to study and performed
exceptionally well in the modules relevant to Teaching English to Speakers of Other
Languages, including three components dedicated to TESOL (TESOL 1, Language Awareness
in TESOL and Critical Issues in TESOL) as well as Syntactic Theory, Phonological Theory,
World Englishes and Second Language Acquisition.

CELTA (University of Cambridge):

After graduating, I immediately began my teacher training and obtained the CELTA
(Certificate in Teaching English to Adults) from the University of Cambridge. This is a highly
regarded and internationally recognised qualification in English Language Teaching and
consists of an intensive training in teaching methodology, language skills and observed
teaching practice. I studied a range of modules including Language Analysis and Awareness, Language Skills (Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing) and Developing Teaching Skills.

MA (Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching with DELTA):

In 2018, I started my postgraduate studies in Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching at King’s College London. This Master’s programme was devised specifically for experienced language teachers wishing to engage with current research and theory in language education and linguistics in the English Language Teaching profession. The course offered me an excellent opportunity to enhance my understanding of applied linguistics research, and I was able to benefit from a wide range of specialist subject areas – such as: Linguistic Analysis for Language Teaching, Additional Language Acquisition, English for Academic Purposes, Language Assessment, The Digital ELT Classroom, Materials Development, and Principles and Practices in Foreign Language Teaching. I was fortunate enough to be nominated by my classmates and lecturers as the Class Representative for my cohort!

Having already acquired the CELTA, I plan to continue my teacher training next year with the DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), also from the
University of Cambridge. This course is a component of my Master's and is designed for
experienced teachers. It consists of specialist modules such as: Understanding Language,
Methodology and Resources for Teaching, Developing Professional Practice, Extending
Practice and ELT Specialism, English Language Teaching Management, etc.

School Experience:

I have taught at several leading private language schools in Central London, as well as various secondary schools in South London. More recently, I have worked at an outstanding secondary school in Croydon as Head of ESOL.

I have taught all levels of General English (Beginner to Advanced), as well exam preparation classes such as Trinity College London: GESE. Throughout this time, I have become an expert in Speaking and Pronunciation - I taught the highly successful Conversational English class (all levels) daily, which was the most popular course at the school.

I have gained ample experience teaching large groups (up to 30 students), as well as delivering one-to-one lessons to tailor individual students' needs (such as English for Specific Purposes, Business English, etc.)

I have acquired considerable experience teaching students of all ages (from young children to teenagers and adults) from all over the world.

College Experience:

My most recent full-time teaching position was as an ESOL Lecturer at Croydon College. I taught all levels - from Pre-Entry (Complete Beginner) to Level 2 (Advanced) and maintained a student pass rate of 100%.

University Experience:

I have worked as Head of Academic English at a university in London. I managed and delivered the programme designed for all international students to improve their Academic English. I also managed and delivered the Pre-sessional English programme, which is an intensive course for prospective international students to drastically improve their IELTS Academic score, so they are able to study at university in the UK. I am incredibly proud to have achieved a 100% success rate of ensuring all my students achieved the IELTS Academic requirement of the university.

Private Tuition Experience:

Since I started working as a Private Tutor, most of my work has been IELTS Exam
Preparation (Academic). I have taught a plethora of students from a variety of nationalities
and backgrounds. Most of my students need the IELTS to study at university, while others
need it either for work or for a UK Visa, as well as to emigrate to other English speaking
countries such as Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

I use a variety of Official Exam Preparation Materials (written by IELTS Examiners) and
Practice Tests to ensure my students are well prepared for their exams.

In addition to General English and Exam Preparation, I also provide Career Advice and
Employment Coaching. I can offer CV workshops and can help you improve your interview
skills and techniques, body language, etc. I have helped many of my students write Personal
Statements for their successful applications to some of the top universities in the UK.

I have never had a student who has achieved less than a Level 7.0 in the IELTS exam - and I
intend to maintain this record!

I am extremely lucky to have so many students from all over the world, such as Spain, Italy,
Portugal, Venezuela, India and Vietnam. Most of them are professionals who work in a
range of fields - doctors, nurses, veterinary surgeons, biologists, speech and language
therapists, care workers, electrical engineers, etc. The vast majority of my students are preparing for the IELTS (Academic), which is what I mainly teach currently. Some need to improve each skill (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) and others prefer to focus on one or two skills. My other students are currently preparing for the Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE). 

I will make you a confident speaker of English, and I am happy to focus on the skills you
want to improve (Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking). Not only will I significantly improve
your Grammar and Vocabulary, I will also train you in each of the four skills so you can
implement excellent Exam Technique and Strategy.

I am also an expert in Pronunciation and my aim is to reduce your accent, so you can sound like a native speaker!

I am committed to the success of my students - if you work hard and follow my guidance,
you'll certainly get the grade you need in your exam!

About the lesson

  • All Levels
  • English

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

I always begin with a detailed consultation, which includes a Needs Assessment (to discuss your current and target score or level, preferred learning style, and specific areas of weakness). I also prefer to begin each course with a real exam-style assessment, so I can get a better understanding of your language level and ascertain which areas need to be improved. This may involve an official IELTS exam, or Vocabulary and Grammar assessments across a range of levels.

I then devise a Personalised Agenda, which is always tailored to your individual needs. I prefer to focus on one or two key skills (such as Speaking, Accent Reduction or Academic Writing) per session.

I have been teaching English online to international students for 10 years, so am extremely confident in my ability to plan, prepare and deliver engaging online sessions, with the goal of drastically improving your level of English.
