Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. My name's Rayah, and I'm a native English speaker from the USA. I enjoy reading, studying foreign languages, and watching old black-and-white films. I am a very patient, friendly, and funny person.
I have a Master's degree in Communication and two certificates for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. I have taught students at academies, college, and online. I help beginners to advanced improve their general English skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing) and help students improve their grammar and enhance their vocabulary. I try to make my lessons relevant, engaging, and fun for all of my students.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I've been teaching English to adults (students, workers, housewives, businesspeople) from Asia, Europe, and South America since 2009, and I absolutely love my job! I am very passionate about helping students reach their goals; I get excited as I see their English ability improve.
I strive to make all of my lessons fun, engaging, interesting, and relevant. Because of my personality, my students feel very comfortable in my classes. In addition to teaching English, I love to introduce students to the American culture and learn about their culture. I am always there for my students to encourage, motivate, and guide them during their journey to become more proficient English speakers.

I have been studying English with Teacher Rayah for many years. I admire her enthusiasm and the ability to create a supportive learning environment. The classes I took focused on learning vocabulary, the use of different expressions and debating techniques. I have benefited greatly from her structured approach and interactive teaching style.

If you are thinking about starting English lessons and don't know who to do it with, the choice is simple - RAYAH. There is no better teacher than her. My adventure with her started a year and a half ago and I have no intention of stopping. She is always prepared for classes and the topics she proposes are very interesting. She uses various forms and methods of classes. The lessons are not boring and motivate the student to work independently after the lesson. Every time she greets me, I feel like I'm talking to one of my best friends. I love our lessons and I highly recommend lessons with Rayah to anyone who is undecided.:-)

It’s great to have carefully structured and well-executed language lessons where I learn the vocabularies in the context as well as have meaningful output by using them in in-class debates. Rayah does not only teach English as a specific language but also train me how to articulate in a concise and authentic manner. I have also learned how to present my arguments coherently. It is not that I didn’t know how to, but I wasn’t mindful of this until I was motivated to follow the structure and meet the objectives of a lesson. I have improved quickly with my speech overall as I listened to how she speaks and tried to imitate her style which is very proper. I strongly advise English learners to take Rayah’s structured lessons if you want real results.
