About Me
italki teacher since Nov 22, 2011InterestsFilms & TV SeriesBusiness & FinanceTechWritingScience
I have empowered many determined students to achieve challenging goals, such as becoming Chevening scholars, scoring band 8 in IELTS, or landing their dream jobs.
I have taught more than 14,000 language lessons since getting my teaching certificate from Cambridge Univeristy in 2014.
I used to be an engineer, and I have experience in management, but my passion for languages led me to become a professional language teacher.
I am studying for a diploma in English teaching from Cambridge University and I intend to become an IELTS examiner in the next two years.
I am also studying for an MSc in AI, and I plan to do a PhD in embodied cognitive science focusing on language and embodiment.
Me as a Teacher
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. I also have some creative tendencies and I am writing my first novel. As a result, 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
