Advert description
My name is Tashfia Rahman Tashfi, and I am an English teacher and postgraduate student based in Auckland, New Zealand. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Literature and am currently studying for a Master of Teaching and Learning. Alongside my studies, I have over two years of classroom and online teaching experience, as well as four years of private tutoring experience with school students up to Year 13.
In my online teaching, I have worked with young learners aged six to fifteen, teaching Spoken English and grammar on Zoom. I design my own lesson plans, worksheets, and visual slides to match the specific level and learning pace of each student. Instead of relying only on textbooks, I use simple, everyday examples to explain grammar rules clearly and make lessons engaging. Because I speak both English and Bangla and am currently learning te reo Māori, I understand the challenges of learning a new language and building confidence step by step.
In my day-to-day teaching practice, I focus on creating a calm, patient, and supportive learning environment. Students learn best when they feel safe, listened to, and comfortable making mistakes. My sessions follow a clear structure with plenty of opportunities to practise speaking, ask questions, and build practical skills at a steady pace. Through careful preparation and encouragement, my goal is to help every learner develop genuine confidence and steady progress in their English skills.
