My name is Banafsheh, and I have had the joy of working as an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) teacher for the past eight years with Fairfax County Public Schools. Throughout my career, I have worked with students from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, helping them build confidence in reading, writing, speaking, and listening in English. I hold a valid teaching license and have completed all necessary background checks, ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment for every student. In addition to my classroom work, I’ve also been a very effective tutor, consistently helping students make measurable progress in language development and academic achievement through personalized one-on-one support.
My tutoring approach is highly individualized and rooted in creating a welcoming, encouraging space where students feel comfortable taking risks and making progress at their own pace. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of the learner—whether that means strengthening academic vocabulary, improving conversation skills, or supporting assignments from school. I believe in building strong relationships with students and their families, and I aim to be a steady source of support both academically and emotionally. Language learning is a journey—and I’m here to walk that journey with my students, celebrating every step of growth along the way.
