Fouzia

Dr Fouzia holds 13 years experience in providing support to students studying Bachelor's, Master's and PhD in a range of subjects. Her work covers the following areas: university Pre-sessional courses, sociology, psychology, business, criminology, nursing, health and social care (both at college and university level), childcare, teaching, paramedical science, and beyond. Fouzia has extensive experience in working with UK and overseas students, including students from China, South Korea and Arab countries.

As an ESOL lecturer, she is highly experienced in supporting students for whom English is a second language and teaches them how to speak in different real-life situations, using advanced vocabulary. At the same time, particular focus is upon the student's grammar, making them aware of their speech so that they learn to correct themselves accordingly. Fouzia uses a wide range of accessible resources to teach English language skills, enabling learners to improve and perfect their pronunciation. Her unique teaching strategies empower learners to utilise the skills acquired in different settings with confidence.
