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 is an incredibly passionate teacher. I enjoy every lesson with him because, even when it’s challenging, I feel like I’ve made progress afterwards. I highly recommend booking a lesson with Amer as he is genuinely passionate about teaching.

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 well-organized teacher. He prepared the lesson with his own documents. I like to take his comprehensive lesson. And he is willing to discuss with student learning progress.

Thank you, Amer! I have never done an Italki lesson before and I greatly appreciated your patience as I try to learn Arabic. You were really patient, helpful, and want me to succeed.
