Hi! I'm Arifa from Trinidad and Tobago. I'm a qualified DELE examiner and experienced Spanish teacher for all age brackets (kindergarten - adults).
I'm also an English teacher with experience in Business English, academic writing and English for kids.
Feel free to book a trial with me so that I can help you reach your language goals!
Please note:
1. ALL classes finish 5 minutes before time and if homework has to be assigned we will take 3 -5 minutes before class ends. Eg. Our class is from 8 - 9 am, we end at 8:55, and if homework has to be assigned it will be done between 8:50 -8:55.
2. If you book the wrong package/lesson, I will have to decline after informing you.Che tipo di insegnante sono
As a teacher, I am very dynamic as I have taught several age groups over the years. I am, to some extent results-oriented and I work very hard to help my students achieve their language goals. Teaching has shaped my character and allowed me to see the world through the eyes of everyone student that has crossed paths with me. I believe that learning should be lifelong and holistic so I try to transmit this to my students so that they focus on their journey, their progress and of course the achievement of their goals on their time.Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
My lessons always include elements of the four main skills; speaking, reading, writing and listening. I tend to incorporate various tools to create modern, fun and challenging classroom spaces. I also believe in motivating my students through their journeys be it through gamification, frequent reminders or simply adapting to their needs. I often use gamification, TPRS, TBL and authentic sources for my lessons as I believe that language should never be taught within the confines of a textbook (though they are helpful guides). I am flexible to my student's needs and I am in a constant process of innovation with my lessons.
Please note that ALL classes finish 5 minutes before time.Il mio materiale didattico

Here I also became very familiar with this IB system and their curriculum plans.
