Fazmina Imamudeen - Course Lead - English Language and Literature

I am an experienced and results-oriented Edexcel IGCSE and IAL English Language and Literature Teacher with more than 12 years of experience educating KS3, KS4 and KS5 school students. I am at the PGD Level ranked as the 1st amongst 22 students, with an interim GPA of 3.58. I am a UNESCO certified Digital Teacher, and I am currently reading for my Masters in Teaching Literature.

My objective as a teacher is to create a child to establish a learner-centric environment and nurture a critical thinking environment in the classroom. I focus on skill-based teaching in which I strive to improve my learners’ receptive and productive skills; by doing so, I have been able to encourage my learners to think critically and perceptively, write analytically with an authentic voice, express ideas creatively and at the same time enjoy learning English Language and Literature. I also believe that every student can acquire skills. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to create and deliver lessons that provide an opportunity to learners with different capacities and skill levels.

One of my strengths is my ability to think beyond the box. I am creative, and I hone my critical thinking skills as I believe that when creativity meets with critical thinking, remarkable concepts and designs come to life. I work consciously to sharpen my analytical skill, which is imperative for a literate. As a short fiction writer, I have, thus far, been successful in creating vivid imagery, immersing the reader into the story, making the experience cathartic. Moreover, I have directed many plays in which I have focused on creative storytelling and currently, I have published two short stories in Fem Asia Online Magazine.
