Hello! I’m Sadaf, and I'm known as an experienced English teacher but in fact, teaching is not just my profession, it’s my passion. Communication is at the heart of everything I do, and I truly believe language connects people and cultures. I've studied English Language Literature for my B.A. and as a former figure skater I got an M.A. in Physical Education and Sport Sciences. I love traveling, discovering new cultures, and meeting new people. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies and series, listening to podcasts, cooking and baking, and always learning new languages. Doing sports, like skating, swimming, or jogging can always refresh me.

Me as a Teacher

I am a CELTA holder and with almost 20 years of experience working with learners of all ages from diverse backgrounds and nationalities, I bring both expertise and practical experience into every lesson. I have worked in different institutes and language schools and I always try to stay up to date in my field. I can quickly and effectively identify my learners’ needs, and thanks to my own experience of learning different languages, I deeply understand the language learning process. This allows me to empathize with my students, anticipate their challenges, and support them in a more practical and effective way.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons are interactive, goal-oriented, and personalized. I use communicative methods to help you speak more fluently and confidently while improving accuracy. You can expect engaging discussions, real-life topics, and targeted speaking practice in our classes. I focus on error correction, detailed feedback, and structured progress as well, so you always know what to improve and how to improve it. Whether you want to improve general English, boost your speaking skills, or gain more confidence, I’m here to help you succeed.
