About Me

“To have another language is to possess a second soul.”
This is Mohamed, a language learner and teacher. I look forward to improving my French and Spanish. Language is my passion, so I do not mind helping anyone interested in learning a new language. Feel free to contact me anytime.Me as a Teacher
I am Mohamed, a native Arabic teacher. I received my bachelor degree in Arabic journalism from Minufiya University in Egypt. Then, I studied for a TEFL diploma to learn how to teach language better. I not only examined methods of teaching English but also experienced ways of illuminating language culture for non-native speakers. I worked as an English teacher at a secondary school in Egypt for almost three years. Then, I worked as an educational writer and translator for Hotcourses Ltd in the UK. I wrote more than 200 educational articles to help students in language learning and study abroad. Recently, I worked as an Arabic teacher at Fairfield University.My lessons & teaching style
Involving students into the target language by making them read, speak and listen to cultural videos for its authenticity and representation of real speech, its presentation of the nonverbal aspects of language, and its value as a cultural vehicle to improve listening and understanding skills. Short television commercials are often good springboards for learning slang, abbreviations, and cultural in-jokes.
In addition to textbooks, I like to use materials that involve students in the target language culture and convey a live image of the language society. Short stories that use little language and pictures from target language countries can be a perfect teaching tool.My teaching material

Muhammed is very knowledgeable about Arabic, of course, but also the culture. With other teachers I didn't have a full understanding of the pronunciation, but he focused me on the tough parts (like hamza) and helped me get those down today. Thanks!

Fun lesson. Used past tense to talk about a place we have been and a person we have known. Did a reading exercise about past friends meeting up. Pitched at the perfect level for me. Thanks Mohamed.

Enjoyable lesson with Mohamed after a few weeks away for some travel. We started by briefly discussing my recent trip to Egypt, then we discussed a picture of a city square and used it as the basis for a conversation and practiced giving directions. The we discussed comparatives and superlative adjectives. We ended the lesson by starting to watch a clip from an Egyptian film. I enjoyed the lesson.

One of my best arabic tutor. Really good english command which makes a huge difference in terms of explaining vocabs and phrases. He also works as a translator and previously was a Fulbright scholar working and studying at an american university which wouldve helped to hone his skill in explaining arabic words/phrases to students. Easy to understand. We went through an article about decision making process which i translated with the help of google translate n dictionaries from arabic to english. The class went well.

Mohamed is a great teacher and an obvious professional. He always tries to get you focused on speaking and reading material yourself, even if you find it difficult, which in my mind is the key to progress.
