What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovative teaching methods and professional growth.

I am a passionate educator with a strong background in English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics, holding both MA and BA degrees in the field. My teaching journey has taken me through various roles, including lecturer positions at Shanto-Mariam University and Independent University, where I have been recognized on the Vice Chancellor’s Honor List for my academic excellence. I am CELTA certified and have experience in designing and delivering English language courses tailored to diverse learners.

Throughout my career, I have developed a keen interest in utilizing technology to enhance language learning experiences. My role as a teacher at LTC Language Solutions allowed me to teach Bengali Language & Culture to speakers of other languages, further enriching my teaching repertoire. I have also contributed to academic research, presenting at conferences and assisting in qualitative research projects, which has deepened my understanding of language acquisition and pedagogy.
