Friendly native speaker and professional writer from England with 13 years of teaching experience! Hey, my name is Billy-Mai, also known as Shams (which is Arabic for ‘Sun’). I'm a professional writer and communication specialist, with over 13 years of experience in education, teaching and mentoring. With aspirations to become a transpersonal counsellor and self-development coach, I'm currently studying for my master's in Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychology, on the pathway to my PhD. Personally, I love spending time in nature with my dog, as well as singing, music, travelling, and having deep conversations. My ideal students are looking to focus on native-level discussion of deeper topics, particularly surrounding psychology, philosophy, mental health, nutrition, holistic wellness, and self-growth. I'm perfect for you if your aim is to develop vocabulary and comprehension for the purpose of more intimate or personal situations. For example: if you're a therapist, facilitator, or coach working internationally or looking to move your business to the UK; your partner is English-speaking; a friend or family member experiences mental health challenges; you're on a 'spiritual journey'; etc. I also offer Creative Writing Mentorship Workshops for both children and adults seeking to launch or polish any creative project that involves writing and producing, from developing your authentic voice to building a business (e.g., poetry, memoir, website copy, journalling, carousel content, etc.). I offer guidance, academic instruction, editing, copywriting - whatever you need.

I just loved the lesson with Shams! I've honestly never experienced anything like this before. The atmosphere was very safe and open, so I felt comfortable expressing myself. This lesson made me think not just about the language, but about my own thoughts and reactions. Thanks a lot!!

You are always the best - I am so lucky that I could share what I thought to you and I am so grateful that you never thought I am strange. Thank you for being such a patient, sharp in different perspectives, friendly and wise listener, I have learned so much from you. I am also quite happy that you trust and share things with me, which inspire me and make me feel I can be someone powerful just like you. You are the lighthouse - thanks for being here! See you next time and I wish the best for you as always. (And other students, if you are looking for a wonderful coach, this teacher is a good choice for you to try to talk with. )

She is a great teacher. She always teaches me about common words I must use in my career.
