RABIA BABAR IELTS/TOEFL/ESL trainer
No reviews yet

Hailing from the city of Fakeers and malangs, an obsessor of words, a fervent collector of ancient recipes, a trainee yogi, an ardent Sufi listener, a Melbournian but foremost - a die-hard Lahori.

By profession, I am a qualified academic trainer and assessment validator from Australia with specialization in English Language Teaching (CELTA, Melbourne) and Assessment Validation (TAE, Melbourne) with a career span of teaching English Language to multi-cultural communities in Melbourne, Tasmania, Fiji, East Timor for over a decade.

I tend to offer new paradigm in learning with engaging strategies in light of the brain-based theories postulated by the Educational Psychologist, Rich Allan, believing that the brain receives, processes, stores, and recalls information only memory is triggered. My sessions are replete with fun games, visuals, videos, activities, peer-engagement and most importantly reading recommendations that would lift your English learning to an epic journey of discovery, growth and skill development.

But first of all, I want all my students to STOP – SPOT - SWAP; stop the conventional text-based rote learning approach to learning English, spot the engaging and enriching ways to connect with the language and swap the old practices with new learning habits for - nothing is fun, unless you have a passion for it!
All the best,
RABIA BABAR
