Hello! I'm Billy-Mai a.k.a Shams, which is the Arabic word for ‘Sun’!
I’m a professional writer, poet and self-development coach. I love psychology, philosophy, and the mystery and depth of our metaphysical existence. I’m the perfect teacher for you if you love talking about all things spiritual, mystical and psychological.
I'm a copywriter, editor, proofreader, and content creator, and write blogs, songs and books in my free time.
I used to work in the film/TV industry as a producer and assistant director, and in the music industry as an artist manager and event producer. I’m also an artist, musician, filmmaker, podcast host, children's book author, and run a care home for rescue dogs!Ich als Lehrkraft
I began teaching English over 11 years ago shortly before winning an award for my dedication and enthusiasm as a volunteer teaching assistant. After that, I moved to London and became a private tutor for an education centre. I taught English Language, Literature and Drama to children (KS1 to A-Level/ages 4-18), and gained experience teaching English as a second language (ESL) to groups of adults. Now I work online across the world!
I'm TESOL certified and received a First Class Honors in my degree BA Media and Communication with Creative Writing.
I am currently studying Psychology and Psychotherapy and offer various workshops and services as a Self-Discovery and Self-Management Coach.Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I offer 3 types of classes:
1. Conversational English Class:
We discuss interesting topics while I occasionally pause the conversation to help you understand how to use the correct grammar, words and pronunciation, and introduce you to new vocabulary and phrases.
2. Creative Writing Workshops:
From poetry to email writing, scriptwriting to academic reports, I can assist you in improving your writing skills and developing your creative voice and personality.
3. Self-Discovery and Self-Management Sessions:
We work together as I guide you through a journey of self-exploration and personal growth. I offer techniques for better self-awareness, emotional regulation, and effective goal-setting.Mein Unterrichtsmaterial

You are always the best - I am so lucky that I could share what I thought to you and I am so grateful that you never thought I am strange.
Thank you for being such a patient, sharp in different perspectives, friendly and wise listener, I have learned so much from you.
I am also quite happy that you trust and share things with me, which inspire me and make me feel I can be someone powerful just like you.
You are the lighthouse - thanks for being here!
See you next time and I wish the best for you as always.
(And other students, if you are looking for a wonderful coach, this teacher is a good choice for you to try to talk with. )
