Meet the Founder

Hi there, I'm Ms. Waffa!

Welcome to ESL Words! I am a native English speaker living in Canada for over 30 years and have been coaching students with IELTS exam preparation for the past 7 years. I chose the English teaching profession because I remember the language barriers my parents faced when they arrived to Canada 36 years ago! They didn't know a word of English, but managed to make a living in a country that was so unfamiliar to them. Because of this, I decided to become an English language instructor to help other immigrants with similar challenges they may face trying to pass the IELTS exam.

Thank you ESL Words for helping me score a band 8 in my IELTS general exam. I always got a 5 in the writing section and failed 5 times. After I joined ESL Words courses my writing band went up to a 7. Ms. Waffa explains everything in detail and gives you very clear essay structures to follow.
