Reshma Hafeez - English tutors in Laval
Over the past decade, I have devoted my career to helping students discover the power of language. My ten years of teaching English have been shaped by continuous learning, adaptability, and a deep commitment to student growth. Throughout this journey, I have taught a diverse range of learners—children, teenagers, and adults—from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Each group has taught me new ways to make English accessible, meaningful, and empowering.
My foundation in English education began with a strong interest in how language connects thought, culture, and communication. This passion led me to pursue an Advanced Diploma in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which expanded both my theoretical understanding and practical teaching strategies. Through this program, I explored advanced concepts in phonology, syntax, semantics, and discourse analysis, while also learning to design lessons that integrate all four language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—in a cohesive and learner-centered manner.
One of my key areas of focus has been speaking and pronunciation. Over the years, I have worked with students to develop confidence and clarity in oral communication. I place a strong emphasis on pronunciation drills, intonation, and rhythm, while creating opportunities for authentic conversation through debates, interviews, and role-plays. I have found that speaking is not just about linguistic accuracy but also about emotional expression and self-assurance. My classroom environment encourages risk-taking, laughter, and creativity, allowing even the most hesitant learners to find their voice in English.
Equally central to my teaching has been the development of reading comprehension.
