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.我的教學經歷
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.我的課程內容與教學風格
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.我的教材

工作經驗
2015 - 2016
English Language AssistantThis enables me to adequately teach both English Literature and Language; especially academic writing to higher-level students. I have specific experience with the Spanish speaking population so I am aware of many of their realities and some of the mistakes and difficulties that they tend to have when learning English.
2019 - 2020
Spanish InstructorI taught Spanish to elementary, middle and high school students during my time there. This taught me to differentiate in my classroom as well as to adapt my methods to the student at hand. I became quite skilled at using TPRS to boost fluency and communication in young children as well as to integrate various audiovisual materials to keep students engaged. Here I also became very familiar with this IB system and their curriculum plans.
2019 - 當前
Spanish tutorI specialize in teaching Spanish to adults using the CEFR. We development different syllabi to work with our students on a semesterly basis. These classes are highly focused on the communicative competency. I usually create many activities to spark conversation as this is one of the tougher skills to develop for many of my students. I can offer conversational courses on Italki with this experience.
2016 - 2017
English TeacherI taught business English to various levels of important companies. I worked with CEOs focusing on key negotiating skills, human resources in dealing with their content, hiring process and contracts. I tailored my courses to each company's vision; Microsoft worked with technology, Tierra Digna with environmental protection and workers' rights etc.
2018 - 2020
Tour GuideI tailor and lead tours to Spanish speaking countries with language learners. I mainly act as an interpreter for both groups; clients and service providers.
2024 - 當前
Medical InterpreterI am a medical interpreter for hospitals across North America. I engage with LEPs and healthcare providers for all specialties such as L&E, Maternalfetal Medicine, Emergency Department, Surgery, Anaesthesia, Radiology, Pediatrics etc.
