About Rafi

I have been tutoring for over four years.

I have taught over a hundred students in this timespan, ranging from one-on-one home tutoring to training batches in classrooms.

Most of my students have received successful scores in their English Proficiency Tests, while also taking with them an innate love for the language and the arts related to the language.

I am friendly, funny, empathetic, endearing and focused on individual strengths and weaknesses so as to provide my students a well-rounded learning environment.

About the lesson

I'm an auteur of words who crafts distinct worlds with my diction, and the same magic I cast for my prose & poetry, I use it to inculcate love for the English language in my students.

I can train people to write English Proficiency Tests, be it IELTS, PTE or TOEFL, and can teach English & Literature for students of all ages, from school to university.

I like to gauge every student I teach for their unique strengths and weaknesses and help them enable themselves to think in the language in such a way that they can express themselves fluently, like a poet, in both spoken and written word.

I employ the usage of daily writing prompts, dramatic enactments, exploring thoughts and ideas and expressing them through conversations, drawing stress and intonation from cinema & theater actors, and so on. If you're not having fun and are not being creative while learning a language, you can't really master it.

What sets me apart from other tutors is my ability to be extremely empathetic, to think from the minds of my students and empower them from within, so that there is no discrepancy in the end.
