About Me
Hello! I’m Shaista, a passionate and accomplished global English coach since 2011, consistently rated 5 stars for my innovative teaching methods. With over seven years of experience & over 1000 lessons on this platform, I’ve helped learners—from students to top executives—master English with confidence, clarity, and finesse.
My interactive classes are tailored to individual needs, featuring tools and tasks such as grammar drills, role plays, pronunciation practice, reading comprehension exercises, and structured speaking activities. I incorporate engaging materials like news articles, poetry, short stories, and professional English phraseology to boost vocabulary and comprehension. Writing tasks include creative assignments like essay prompts, picture descriptions, and graph or chart analysis while listening tasks focus on diverse topics to improve understanding and fluency.
As an empathetic mentor and skilled communicator, I foster a supportive environment for growth. I reside in a serene Himalayan village. Apart from teaching English, I sell cakes from home, tend my plants while savouring the mountain life.
