TANIA AREFIN

With over 11 years of comprehensive experience in education, I have designed and implemented curricula and content that significantly improved learning outcomes for students globally. As a PGT English Teacher at GSM High School (CBSE), I developed customized lesson plans and delivered engaging instruction to secondary and higher secondary students. I excelled in classroom management and utilized innovative teaching methodologies (use of smart boards and flipped classrooms) to enhance student engagement and performance. Additionally, I specialized in teaching English Language Arts, Creative Writing, and Communication to students in the US, Canada, UK and UAE adapting content to meet individual learning needs. Proficient in CBSE, ICSE, AP English, and Kaplan English curricula, I have accumulated 6,500 teaching hours and 2,500 training hours, positively impacting the educational journey of over 250 learners.
