Hello! I'm Miss Aida, a fresh graduate of B. Ed. TESL and a C1 Aptis holder. I have experience in teaching English to both lower and upper form secondary school students with proficiency levels of A2 (beginner) to B2 (upper-intermediate) during my practicum. I would best describe myself as the strict but fun teacher as reflected by student feedback and my success in increasing student-teacher engagement and eliminating English class truancy by 100%.

One of my biggest takeaways from my TESL background is the belief that teaching English is a privilege because it allows me to teach everything.

Immersive experience and two-way communication are my principles in teaching and learning, hence why you can expect the following in my lessons.

On top of utilising teaching aids which generally includes visually engaging slides, games, videos, worksheets, revisions and relevant real-life context, I also prioritise giving feedback to my students. I believe it's one of the best ways to improve oneself. It helps my students understand the what, where and whys of their mistakes, concurrently helping me better understand the approach needed.

While my methods may vary with each student, one commonality I can assure is my end goal, which is to create an engaging and supportive learning environment. In order to achieve this, I don't do 'chalk-and-talk'. My students are the focus in my lessons and I am merely the guide.
