About Me

As an English teacher, I've worked with Doras Luimní in Limerick, a non-profit working to support the rights of migrants in Ireland. With Doras, I developed and taught beginner English courses for migrants in which I had students from different backgrounds and different levels. I was in charge of curriculum development and worked with several students who were at the start of their literacy journeys. Before that, I worked at two different language schools - Berlitz Dublin and ELI in Limerick, where I prepared students for the TIE and IELTS exams, and taught all levels from Beginners (A1) to Advanced (C1-C2). I have also had private Business English students for the past three years.

In 2022, I completed a CELTA course at International House Dublin, receiving a Pass A - the highest distinction. My language competencies support my work too – I am fluent in Russian, French, English, and Dutch.

However, my work isn't only centred around language teaching. A key formative experience from my career included setting up and coordinating weekly creative workshops for Ukrainian children in Berlin partnered with a local non-profit. In 2024, I started facilitating the Irish World Music Café – a song-sharing circle attended primarily by Ukrainian refugees. Song Seeking, a programme that provides access to participatory music-making to temporary accommodation residents, has taken me to Direct Provision centres in surrounding counties in Ireland. Those settings have made me flexible, adaptable, and creative, and I take that work experience into my work as an English teacher too.

Prior to my work as a community musician and English teacher, I had acquired a BA in Songwriting from BIMM London, and completed an MA in Community Music, so I value creativity and culture and incorporate elements of arts practice in my teaching when appropriate.

Education

BA Songwriting (2018-2021) - BIMM London, UK
MA Community Music (2023-2024) - University of Limerick, Ireland
CELTA (2022) - International House Dublin, Ireland
Creative Therapy Diploma (2022) - CVO, Belgium
BAST Singing Teacher Training Course (2023) - UK
Sing Ireland Choir Conducting Course (2024) - Limerick, Ireland

Experience / Qualifications

CELTA (2022) - International House Dublin, Ireland
Three years of teaching experience with Berlitz Dublin Language School, ELI Limerick, Doras Luimní, and through private teaching.

I have degrees in Songwriting and Community Music, and have participated in a wide variety of feedback sessions for songwriters. I have co-written songs with different artists, released my own music, and have been active as a singer-songwriter for over ten years. Since 2021, I’ve been teaching vocals and songwriting, and facilitating music and creative workshops in classroom settings, nonprofits, and refugee centres.
I'm a CELTA-certified English teacher with 3 years of experience teaching Business English at Intermediate (B1), Upper Intermediate (B2), and Advanced (C1-C2) levels in various language schools across Ireland, including the world-renowned Berlitz Dublin Language School, where I prepared students for the TIE and IELTS exams. However, apart from preparing students to take the IELTS, I also took the test myself in 2018, so I have experienced the stress and the pressure that comes with the preparation and the exam procedure. Together, we can work on building up your confidence and getting you to a place where you feel comfortable successfully taking the test!

Together, we will work on building up your confidence in speaking English and make the journey of learning a new language as engaging and smooth as possible!
Find your own voice, learn how to finish songs, and combat your inner critic! I offer one-on-one songwriting lessons that will suit your learning style. I cover the following topics: - Music Theory - Lyric Writing - USP & Branding - Arrangement and Production Basics - Recording Basics - Music Publishing - Vocal and Guitar Practice Please get in touch with any questions!
I view teaching vocals and songwriting as a therapeutic, holistic process, where my students learn techniques and practical tools that help them hone their craft, but also work through psychological blockages that make them into greater artists.

English Lessons with Farida (TEFL.org certified, open & flexible approach)
Hi! My name is Farida. I am an English teacher. I have been working as an English teacher for 3 years. I am TEFL certified (TEFL.org, 120 hour teaching certificate). I hold a degree in Politics & Sociology from the University of Edinburgh. I worked as pupil support staff in primary and secondary schools in the UK, providing additional educational support to students with learning disabilities. I am passionate about education and providing my students with the best quality education I can offer. I can speak Arabic and B2 level Spanish. I have taught students of all different ages and backgrounds, online and in-person, with different reasons and purposes for learning English. From IELTS exams for visa applications to learning a language to adjust living in a new country, I always try to focus on individual goals and needs as much as possible rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach. For example, if your goal is to simply practice conversational English and become a more confident speaker, then we can focus on that! If your goal is to take an English exam such as the IELTS then that can be our main focus. Please send a message to let me know what it is you are looking for and how I am able to help you reach your goals. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!
