NADIA KASHIF

English Teacher
KARACHI

Summary

Teaching has always been my passion and since the past twelve years of my teaching career, I have gained great confidence in my ability to create and apply interactive, engaging and effective lesson plans which the students find enjoyable and productive. This has led to amazing results in the standardized exams in the past years and even the struggling students received grades as per their college requirements due to the intervention provided throughout the year.

Furthermore, I am proficient in Orton Gillingham method of teaching readers with mild learning disability. I would like to work with other service providers and come up with better teaching methods for children. I am, therefore, confident that given the chance, I will work hard and attain my professional and academic goals for the benefit of anyone who seeks language related assistance.
