B1About me
To begin with, I acquired my secondary language through my study at Notre Dame Des Apotres School, English Section, then having joined the Faculty of Arts, department of English Language and Literature; a college that provides full immersion in the target language through studying Linguistics, Literature, Translation, Academic Essay Writing, and all what a learner needs to acquire the language on the highest and most sophisticated level. All this explains the reason beyond having full mastery of the language spoken & written in a native-like accent. Being an experienced English language Instructor who has been teaching English for 15 years to different stage-students at Schools and to adults @ Berlitz, one of the most reputable Language centers Worldwide, explains my mastery of the language in question, whether it be ESL, Literature, Drama, Phonetics/ Pronunciation, British & American Curriculum, Social Situations, Business English, Arts and Entertainment... Etc. My 15-year experience in the Teaching/Instruction field; that included holding supervision roles as a ‘Testing Unit Specialist’ and ‘Head of department’, explains how I enriched my teaching experience with the relevant business skills through; but not limited to, these major roles: - Training & evaluating teaching staff. - Testing learners and placing them at the right language levels; Beginner, Pre-intermediate/ Elementary, Intermediate, Upper-intermediate , Advanced & Proficient. - Revising and editing all end-of-level written and oral exams. - Handling all customers complaints whether technical or operational. Furthermore, being customer-service oriented & being a successful team player are the reason beyond knowing how to direct my skills and talents toward achieving the Company mission and vision. My classes focus on helping my students acquire self-confidence through encouragement, rewarding, and learning from their mistakes. Teaching is not just about curricula, it’s this ‘rapport’ between the teachers and their learners and taking into consideration the learners’ psychological health. All these factors combined, lead to a ‘well-balanced thriving environment’. Teaching is an enjoyable experience for a teacher who strives to leave an impact, not a mediocre one who's merely doing a job. Learning could be equally enjoyable when the student senses their own improvement day after day. The magical ‘Aha!’ moment is only achieved when both; the teacher and the student, finally get something they've been working hard on. The moment - when a series of learning events, characterized by hard work and dedication, fall into place and success is finally achieved - is a Magical One.Book online lesson

English Tutor
Teaching English to kids & Adults. - Online
What's ’s unique about ‘online tutoring’ is the exposure to different ethnicities; it's ’s like benefiting someone with the knowledge I possess, no matter what their religion/their race is. Perceiving people different from ourselves as ‘Humans’, forgetting about geographical borders and all kinda political hostility as well as historical segregation, is what the Human Race really needs to enjoy ‘Peace’.
