Shabbir
Hello!
Hello!!!! My name is Shabbir and I'm from the UK. I live in Guadalajara, Mexico. I have been living here for 11 years and I teach English at a private school and also business English at companies such as Intel, HP and Oracle. I have been teaching English for over 15 years and I love teaching and seeing my students get confidence by practicing their English.
I love travelling and meeting new people and getting to know other cultures. I have travelled to China, Kenya, India, Israel, Europe, USA and now living in Mexico. I also share my experiences with my students, and we often talk about other cultures. In my spare time, I run, swim and ride my bike. I also enjoy going to the gym. Music is a big passion of mine; I can't get enough of good music!! This is the reason that I use a lot of music in my class.

Teaching Style
My style can differ if it's a beginner class or an advanced class. I am very patient and take the needs of the students into consideration. The class is very student focused with a lot of student speaking time. I try to make the class fun but making sure that the student leaves the class feeling that they have learnt something. I do focus on grammar tenses and pronunciation spending time to explain form and meaning by giving clear explanations and examples followed by practice. In class, I will use Ted Talks, podcasts, games, music and other activities to make the class interactive and dynamic.
