About Me

Hello! My name is Nawaaz and I’m from South Africa but currently live in Singapore. I’ve completed my honors in Finance and Economics at The University of Cape Town, Diploma in Theology and Philosophy, certifications in Leadership and People Management from Duke Business School and a 120-hour TEFL certificate.

Me as a Teacher
I am patient in my approach and always want to make you feel as comfortable as possible. My lessons are going to be fun and engaging to create a relaxed environment for the student to practice speaking. Grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation are all improved as we go through our conversation. I believe that mistakes are important when learning a language.
“The most valuable thing you can make is a mistake – you can’t learn anything from being perfect” – Adam Osborne
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is centered around you (the student), in a relaxed and learner-friendly environment, on where you would like to improve. My lessons will mainly be conversation based, where we practice through your desired topics and themes. I will be looking to work with you and guide you through any difficulties with the language and resolving them directly. If there is something specific that you would like to work on, then please let me know. (Homework is only provided if requested).

Nawaaz es un profe excelente. Pudimos mantener una conversación muy interesante y supo manejar la clase a la perfección, garantizándome un ambiente impecable, tranquilo y en el que pude practicar muchísimo. Sin duda es una relación que seguiré con mucho gusto y no puedo esperar a tener más clases con él!

It's another great lesson with Teacher Nawaaz. I felt like chatting with a good friend, and he has helped me gain a better understanding of idioms. Thanks so much!
