About Me
italki teacher since Nov 22, 2011InterestsScienceSports & FitnessBusiness & FinanceTravelReading
I specialize in helping students achieve challenging goals, such as becoming Chevening scholars, band 8 in IELTS, or finding a dream job.
I used to be an engineer and a manager, but my passion for languages led me to language teaching.
I am studying for a diploma in English teaching from Cambridge University and I intend to become an IELTS examiner.
I plan to do a PhD in cognitive science focusing on language, embodiment, and cognition, so I am studying AI, linguistics, biomechanics, and psychology.
I am also writing my first novel!
Me as a Teacher
I have taught more than 15,000 language lessons since getting my teaching certificate from Cambridge Univeristy in 2014.
I help my students improve their English by focusing on speaking skills, effective communication and language awareness.
I speak English, French and Arabic fluently, and I am learning German, so I fully understand the challenges of language learning.
I am an avid reader and a cinephile, so I love discussing books and films and I never run out of ideas for new discussion topics during lessons.My lessons & teaching style
I teach speaking skills, general English and exam preparation courses (IELTS, CPE, CAE, FCE, PET and KET). Moreover, I teach academic, business, professional and technical English based on my experience in a range of different fields.
I usually design my lessons using online resources, but I also use coursebooks published by Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and other reputable publishers. Additionally, I design lessons from scratch when needed.My teaching material
