Ich als Lehrkraft
This is what I can help you achieve:
• Feel comfortable and confident when speaking English, even in challenging situations.

I specialise in:
• Helping learners who feel stuck at intermediate or advanced levels improve fluency and express themselves clearly.

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 helped me to prepare for an interview and was super attentive to my needs. Before our lesson, he asked for details about the role and my experience to tailor the session for me, which I really appreciated.
During the lesson, he made me feel comfortable and created a friendly atmosphere, which was great. After the lesson, he sent me a list of the questions we went over and corrected my mistakes. His feedback was really encouraging.
Youssouf is well-prepared, calm, and knows how to make learning enjoyable. I highly recommend his lessons!

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!
