Me as a Teacher
2022 – An English teaching role was taken on ✍️
2021 – Began working with students globally via italki.com 🌍
2018 – Civil engineering courses were taught at various academic institutions 📚
Nearly six years ago, the spark for teaching was ignited, leading to work in different locations as a language and academic instructor. A learner-centered approach is always emphasized, allowing students’ curiosity and growth to flourish 🌱
The belief that "I am capable of teaching as much as I am capable of learning" drives the continuous evolution of my teaching style, ensuring it remains dynamic and adaptable 🔄
My lessons & teaching style
I emphasize the conversational method because I believe language is a skill to be practiced, not just a subject to be studied 🗣️. With a blend of grammar, examples, and exercises, each lesson is designed to be both challenging and engaging 💡, ensuring smooth and effective learning.
During our lessons, you will speak, explain, and actively participate in every detail 🎤. There are no excuses, and there’s absolutely no shame in making mistakes—it’s all part of the learning process! "Mistakes are there to learn from"
Whether you're a beginner, an intermediate learner, or at an advanced level, there's always something new to learn, improve, or discuss...

Amer does a great job keying in on the areas of my Arabic that need the most work. The lessons are fun, engaging, and immensely beneficial.

Amer’s lessons are always laid out perfectly and are in a very neat and clear manner, as well as always prepared beforehand. The resources and platform in which he teaches his lessons are incredibly well thought out so that they are always accessible even in your own time and you can always see the work you have built up over time. He is an amazing teacher and creates a positive and friendly atmosphere, and always ensures you understand the work. His lessons are creative and enjoyable and I always look forward to them, Amer is the longest teacher I have stayed with on Italki for all the above reasons. I would highly recommend him to anyone learning Arabic, and he is open to teaching more than one dialect if there is a preferred dialect to learn. Thank you Amer!

I have had the pleasure of studying with Amer for over a year and I am incredibly impressed with Amer's consistent professionalism, discipline and calm disposition. Although he has recently moved house from one country to another, we have not missed a step with our lessons - Amer has retained his normal patient, focused and disciplined manner. Given my own inability to gracefully move between cities in my native country, I am so impressed with his ability to hit the ground running!

Amer is a great teacher. I enjoy his well structured lessons very much. He is kind and always provides enjoyable and fun lessons without being unserious or losing focus on the student’s goal. He is very patient and not afraid to point out mistakes. His way of explaining makes complicated concepts of the Arabic language easy to understand. He is also able to provide great context for students who want to understand differences between MSA and (Gulf/Levantine) Dialects. I can highly recommend booking a lesson with Amer!

Great introductory lesson with Amer. He suggested starting with the Arabic alphabet and had a Google worksheet specifically for practicing this. Thanks and look forward to the next class!
