Munzereen Shahid (Bengali: মুনজেরিন শহীদ) is a Bangladeshi educator, author and online content creator. She is known for producing online lessons intended to help Bengali-speaking learners study spoken English and for her work with the Bangladeshi education platform 10 Minute School.[1][2]
Shahid began producing English-learning videos during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, The Daily Star reported that she had received a YouTube Silver Creator Award after her channel exceeded 100,000 subscribers.[2]
Education
Shahid completed her undergraduate degree in English at the University of Dhaka in 2018. She subsequently studied Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching at the same university for her master's degree.[2] She placed first in the first class in her master's examination.[1]
She later received a Chevening Scholarship to study Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition at the University of Oxford.[3] A 2022 profile published by Prothom Alo described her as a former Oxford student and identified her field of study as Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition.[4]
Career
Shahid became associated with 10 Minute School while studying at university. She initially wrote blog posts for the platform and later worked in its social media and human-resources operations.[1][3]
During the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, she began creating short videos about learning spoken English. In an interview with Prothom Alo, Shahid said that her teaching method emphasised examples drawn from everyday situations rather than concentrating primarily on grammatical rules.[1]
By April 2021, her YouTube channel had passed 100,000 subscribers, earning her a Silver Creator Award. At the time, she was also teaching an online course titled Ghore Boshe Spoken English through 10 Minute School.[2]
In February 2023, 10 Minute School announced Shahid's appointment as its Chief Instructor. The organisation stated that the position included recruiting, mentoring and managing instructors.[5]
Writing
Shahid is the author of books intended for Bengali-speaking learners of English. Her book Ghore Boshe Spoken English was published in 2020 and was accompanied by an online course on spoken English.[3][2]
Her second book, Shobar Jonno Vocabulary, was launched during the 2021 Ekushey Book Fair.[2]
