Hi, I’m Youssouf.
With over six years of teaching experience, including more than a year in the UK and five years online. I’ve worked with learners from all over the world to build real confidence, fluency, and communication skills that go beyond the textbook.
Before teaching, I worked in senior management, leading teams, running interviews, giving presentations, and navigating all the fun that comes with meetings, deadlines, and daily communication. That experience means I know exactly how English works in the real world, and how to help you use it naturally, whether you’re aiming for exam success, career goals, or everyday c
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I’m a relaxed teacher who focuses on clear correction. During lessons, I correct your mistakes as you speak and take notes to help you improve. After class, I send you a summary with four parts:
• Corrections – grammar and accuracy
• Pronunciation – words to say more clearly
• Sentences – natural ways to express your ideas
• Vocabulary – useful words from the lesson
These notes help you review and make steady progress after every session.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are practical, goal-focused, and tailored to real progress.
• Conversation: Build fluency with engaging topics, correction, and feedback.
• Structured Lessons: Flexible focus, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, built on a textbook foundation.
• IELTS: Get targeted strategies and realistic practice to improve your score.
• Presentations & Interviews: Learn how to speak clearly, confidently, and professionally under pressure.

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 💕

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!

My first impressions of Youssouf couldn't be better. I think I will learn a lot if I copy his quiet way of speaking.
