I understand the challenges of learning a new language, and I’m here to guide you step by step. Let’s make real progress together!
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
This is what I can help you achieve:
• Feel comfortable and confident when speaking English, even in challenging situations.
• Get clear explanations and corrections that actually make a difference as you speak.
• Learn at your own pace, with lessons tailored to your personal goals.
I specialise in:
• Helping learners who feel stuck at intermediate or advanced levels improve fluency and express themselves clearly.
• Preparing students for professional communication, job interviews, and exams like IELTS.
• Helping you sound natural and confident in conversations. No more translating in your head or second-guessing yourself.

• For conversational English: I’ll help you build fluency through engaging topics and personalised feedback, so you can express yourself confidently in any situation.
• For vocabulary: We’ll develop practical skills by learning idioms, collocations, and phrases, helping you sound more natural and polished.
• For IELTS or job interviews: I’ll equip you with proven strategies and practice sessions to succeed in exams and professional environments.

Senior Management - iSmash - 2013In 2014, I became Group Head Technician at iSmash, managing over 50 technicians nationwide, overseeing hiring, training and many other responsibilities.

My extensive managerial experience, combined with successful interview prep lessons on italki, makes me highly qualified to teach job interview and presentation skills.
Youssouf is truly one of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure of studying with! If I had to describe him in three words, they would be patient, calm, and attentive. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every lesson, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the support he has provided 💕

Youssouf is a very nice person! He helps me work on interview questions for a business analyst role. Youssouf is an attentive listener and gives excellent advice on how to improve my answers, and he also provides a document with feedback, which is very useful.
Thank you!

During this 60-minute class, it was the time when my spoken output, including the duration, content, and fluency, was at its highest. Teacher Youssouf had messaged me a long time ago asking if I had any topics I wanted to discuss, so after thorough communication in private messages, he was well-prepared for the class. The questions he asked and the directions he guided allowed me to express myself. He would carefully listen to what I said, offer encouragement, and then either continue asking questions based on what I said or share his own thoughts. This made the conversation very smooth, and I felt highly engaged. After class, he would also send me class notes, including the parts where I got stuck, the words I looked up in the dictionary, sentences with grammar mistakes, and phrases I struggled to express.
Highly recommended!
