Greetings š
I am Shakiel West of House De La Warr, with roots in the founding families of the United States and England.šØāš¬ My studies span the Liberal Arts and Sciences, along with certifications in organisational leadership and social impact. As an Advanced AI Data Trainer š¤ and ESL Teacher š, I blend data insights and language expertise to empower students.
Beyond the confines of the classroom, I am a versatile soulāa swimmer navigating the tides, a minstrel crafting melodies as a songwriter, a muse for the world of modeling, and a bard who strums the strings of a guitar šø .
ā
Delve into my rich tapestry of teaching experience, spanning six glorious years. As an ESL specialist, my journey has been imbued with the essence of knowledge, honed by TEFL certifications and an unwavering commitment to guiding learners of all ages and backgrounds.
ā
With credentials in hand, I embarked on my mission, utilizing the transformative power of Total Physical Response (TPR) and translanguaging. My arsenal of knowledge includes my studies in Liberal Arts and Sciences at the UWI, Mona, and certifications in organizational leadership and social impact from Philanthropy University.
ā
My expertise extends to a diverse array of students, from the tender age of three to the wisdom of the elderly, hailing from various cultural backgrounds. In their presence, I've woven a tapestry of success, enhancing their conversational finesse and sharpening the artistry of written English. My experience has equipped me to aid with TEFL, IELTS, TOEFL, and TOEIC exam preparations.
š My teaching approach is based on student-centered learning, which I believe promotes an inclusive environment where each student feels respected and empowered. I think it's important to instill in pupils a passion of learning that extends outside of the classroom and the ability to think critically. I keep students interested and motivated by adding practical applications and engaging strategies.
