Hello! My name's Shimaa... but please call me Shima. I'm an English teacher from Egypt. I'm a dedicated, hard-working, ambitious, and passionate teacher. I love spending time teaching students to speak English. I also enjoy meeting new people, learning about new cultures, experiences, food, and most importantly , chatting with people from around the world in English . I love watching movies ,series, and reading English stories in my free time. I am crazy about going to the beach when I don't feel okay. So, I always travel to Alexandria or Hurghada with my family and have a perfect time there. I'm also a type of outgoing, open to new ideas, and funny person, as my friends say about me.Me as a Teacher
I have a B.A. degree of languages and translation English department. I also have a TEFL certificate that qualifies me to teach English as a foreign language. I've been teaching English for 21+ years for all ages and levels. Teaching has provided me with a challenge to assist students achieve their language goals.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are student-centered; less me talk time and more you talk time. During my lessons, we can talk about the subjects that you are interested in. I always adapt my pace of teaching to the pace of student's learning. I am open to all levels of learners, from absolute beginners to advanced students. The typical lesson will include conversation, with focus targeting certain aspects of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or any other challenging element. I'll use games, songs, videos, and various other activities to make learning English fun! I'd like my students to be confident when speaking and I'll be there to teach you every step of the way! I look forward to hearing from you soonMy teaching material

Maximum satisfaction. I've had dozens of lessons with Shimaa and I'm becoming more confident thanks to my conversations with her. Thanks to the fact that she eliminates the deficiencies in my grammar, even my foreign colleagues understand me. And that's a great achievement. Thanks to Shimaa.

I was lucky when I met Shimaa on Italki. She is a very kind and knowledgeable teacher. She adapts the lessons to my needs.
She is really helping me a lot to improve my speaking skills.
Time flies talking to Shimaa.
