Behnaz Zarrabi

As a current PhD student in Philology and Philosophy at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), specializing in phonological development in multilingual learners, I bring both academic expertise and practical classroom experience that align well with education.
Having taught English for over five years to learners ranging from young children to adults, I have developed a pedagogical style rooted in clarity, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. My current doctoral work focuses on heritage English speakers in trilingual contexts—a research path that has deepened my understanding of how language acquisition unfolds in complex sociolinguistic environments.
In addition to academic qualifications, I possess advanced technical skills in educational tools such as PRAAT, Jamovi, and TEFL-certified level 5 training methodologies. I use tools like PRAAT to bring data-driven precision to language learning.
I am fluent in English, with working knowledge of Catalan, Spanish, German and French which allows me to build meaningful bridges with students from diverse backgrounds. My training in safeguarding and research ethics ensures that I maintain the highest standards of responsibility, both inside and outside the classroom.
