Yaiza González Dorta, English Immersion Summer Camp, March 29, 2019
My daughters were in the LFT summer camp in 2018. It was two very short weeks for them, since apart from learning English, things about space and nature, they also played, did many craft activities and were in contact with animals. They had a great time.

Fantastic classes with an unbeatable teacher. Since going to classes, I am getting a lot better because of the incredible way in which these classes are given. Many thanks.
Felipe Machado, October 07, 2016
Mathematics classes taught in English are very motivating for my child, since the method used is different from that at his Spanish school. It’s just what I was looking for. The teaching is individually catered and the language is not an impediment to his understanding. Thanks to the teacher for her patience and enthusiasm
Nele Thieme Liebnitz, Mathematics, October 11, 2016
My daughter is doing very well in her German classes. She has learned a lot with the method, but also has fun in the classes.
Rebecca Porter, German, December 06, 2016
I just started my German classes 🙂 and I am very happy with the German teacher at LFT. She is very professional and very experienced. This summer I will travel to Germany to practice what I have learnt.
Alberto Avila, German, December 11, 2016
My daughter loves her English classes, she is very motivated and has a lot of fun.
Nuria García, English, February 14, 2017
I had a learning block with basic and fundamental concepts in mathematics; Ms. Sultana helped me understand these concepts with a methodical, clear and clear approach. She gave me a lot of tools to solve problems in a simple way. Miss Sultana is a kind and caring teacher and I would definitely recommend taking classes with her to anyone!
Laura Knapen (estudiante de year 13), Mathematics, July 15, 2016
I shared a classroom with Mrs. Sultana and I was lucky to see her teach. She is a very caring teacher who helps all students enjoy learning. She is good with students of all abilities.
Dhina Mcleese, January 30, 2017
Ms. Sultana has been tutoring our children Bruno (Y11) and Alexandra (Y9) in both Mathematics and English for the last 2 years. During this period she has very capably taught both subjects to them and demonstrated her passion for teaching and her professional concern for her students. She actually not only focused on transmitting knowledge, but more importantly, she inspired them to discover their purpose and potential. I highly recommend her.

Dedicated and dynamic Mathematics Teacher with 10 years experience educating high school and college level students. Adept in creative lesson planning and real-world-related instruction. Motivational educator with exceptional communication, analytical, and multi-tasking skills.
I am a passionate math teacher who will not only teach students mathematics but also relate it to real word so students can see the usefulness of mathematics around them. I take pride in implementing various mathematical programs that build the knowledge and confidence of students to help them see their growth.
I enjoy positively influencing the lives of children by teaching them the importance of mathematics.
My name is Alberto and I am a teacher at LFT. I would describe myself as an innovative, energetic, charismatic and dependable Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics teacher. I enjoy preparing stimulating lessons, identifying and analysing student needs, strengths, and weaknesses, overseeing experiments, as well as setting and grading assessments. I have 10 years of experience teaching and have taught various levels of learners, including primary, secondary and College students.
I am passionate about the sciences and have a sound understanding of scientific rules, methodologies, theories and analytics. I have a science and mathematics degree related discipline which I have practically applied in a working environment both in Tenerife and the UK.
I have experience teaching in both the British and Spanish education systems and I therefore have a sound understanding of both curriculum requirements and creating educational content that satisfy these requirements.
I am bilingual, I speak both Spanish and English. In my spare time I like to play tennis and learn languages.
My name is Meheraj Sultana and I am the director of the school, but I also teach Maths and English at Learning First Tenerife. I completed my higher education in the UK and have extensive experience working in London, as well as Spain. I have been teaching for many years and have experience teaching in a variety of settings with students of all ages and abilities, including children with special needs.
I consider myself to be an interactive and dynamic teacher and therefore the majority of my lessons are about doing practical and enjoyable exercises that students can understand and where possible, relate to in everyday life. I find that this drives motivation and interest in the subject and it creates a good teacher student rapport, which is essential in the learning process.
English is my first language and teaching it as a foreign language is an absolute joy. I have taught it in commercial language schools, secondary schools and institutions of higher education and in Industry. I place a strong emphasis on learning through dialogue and role play, I find that this is a fun and creative way of expression, which students usually enjoy participating in.
Having studied mathematics and teaching it for several years, it has now become second nature to me. However, I understand that many students enter my classroom with a not-so-favourable view of maths. I appreciate that it can be a challenging subject and my aim is for every student to become better ‘problem solvers’. Even if they do not learn every math concept, the ability to analyse and solve problems will carry with them throughout their lives.
In three words, my students would describe me as patient, caring and encouraging.
My name is Denise and I’m one of the English teachers at LFT. Prior coming to Tenerife, I obtained a Level 5 TEFL certificate and I’m very pleased to start this job with young learners as I believe that playfulness is a great point of departure for the students’ motivation to learn and develop new skills. I hope that we together can bring a lot of artistic approaches to the classroom in order to stimulate the learning process, make it fun and learn from what intrigues us.
My name is Joe and I teach English as a second language at LFT.
I love teaching and am passionate about motivating others and helping them find their way around the English language. I empower my students to speak English confidently and fluently while being patient and clear.
Having lived in London most of my adult life and studying Laws and Business Management I have the ability to communicate on all levels with ease and enjoy the cultural exchange that English teaching brings.
My name is Kirsten Arentz and I am the German teacher at Learning First Tenerife.
I hava a degree in law but since 2001 I have been working as an German teacher. I am currently teaching adults, teenagers and children. I have worked in several schools, in further education institutions, for employees in hotels and other companies, as well as in the spanish “ Escuela Oficial de Idiomas“.
I enjoy teaching a lot and I find it very satisfying to see how my students improve their German language.
I try to teach my students in the most practical ways and to I try to motivate them to use the German language as much as possible in their everyday lives.
My name is Tim Porter and I am one of the English teachers at Learning First Tenerife.
I have the pleasure of helping our students learn, practise and enjoy English as a second language.
I especially like planning and implementing the extra activities we do. Summer camp and our end of term shows are great fun for the students and enable them to use the skills they learn with us. Seeing how proud it makes the students is the best reward.
Attentive and adaptable Music Teacher skilled in using empathy and other emotional intelligence skills to effectively manage classroom behaviour. Leverages student feedback to create dynamic lesson plans that address students’ strengths and weaknesses. Implemented an Individualised Education Plan for students with unique needs. Established a reward system to motivate and encourage learning music.
My name is Marie le Guillou and I am French. I teach French at Learning First Tenerife.
I completed my studies in France, in Rennes and Marseilles. I worked for several years in different schools and with students of all ages.
Today I live in Tenerife and work with secondary students and adults. I like to share my knowledge of my language with my students and I think it is very important to work with a native teacher, especially in oral activities.
My classes are dynamic and allow you to discover French in a concrete way in relation to the everyday world. The exchange of interest is paramount and I adapt my classes to inspire my students differently.
In each class, I try to incorporate the different language skills; speaking, listening, reading and writing. Whether it is for pleasure or to prepare for an exam is essential to practice all forms of expression through all kinds of tools.
I can say that for me, teaching is second nature.
My name is Federica and I am an English teacher. I graduated in Social Work at the University of Turin in Italy. However, I realized after a few years that I have a big passion for teaching English. Therefore, I completed my first teacher training and I started my adventure as professional teacher. I have been traveling and teaching English since 2016 in several schools and language centres in Asia as well as Spain. During my journeys through amazing countries I also had the opportunity to work and volunteer for some NGO in which I cooperated with people from all over the world.
I would describe myself as a creative and motivated teacher. Indeed, during the lessons I deliver, activities focus on creating an interesting learning context in which students are involved and have fun.
I perfectly understand what challenges learners may face when it comes to learning English and my role is to support and encourage students to achieve their English goals.
