Hello. My name is Osama. I am a 29-year-old professional English teacher. I've been living in Turkey for around 4 years. I have two cats ^_^ . I have been teaching English for 9 years and I have been teaching English online for 4 years. I love video games and I spend too much time gaming. I am an extrovert, I like going out a lot with my friends. I love camping and grilling outdoors.
I have a lot of experience teaching all ages, all levels and a lot of different kinds of courses. I teach General English, TOEFL, IELTS, Business English and Conversation courses. I like teaching beginners because I feel like I can help them a lot with the basics, but I also love working with advanced students because we can have a lot of interesting conversations. I have many teaching qualifications like TEFL, TESOL...etc. but most of all, I enjoy being a teacher.
My lessons are based on conversations and interactions between me and you. The lessons will be fun, we will laugh together and learn together. My goal is to make you learn and practice as much as possible. If you already know something like a grammar point, I won't bore you with repeating it, and if you need help with something specific like writing an email, an essay, or maybe a specific article that you don't understand, we can break it down together. This is the minimum effort and maximum benefit lesson.My teaching material

Osama je můj oblíbený učitel na Italky. Má velké znalosti v angličtině a můžu se s ním bavit skoro na libovolné téma, protože má velký přehled. Je také velmi nápomocný, vždy se zeptá zda danému tématu/gramatice rozumíte, Určitě neváhejte zkusit pár lekcí a uvidíte že si Osamu vyberete i v budoucnu.

Осама очень классный учитель! Может поддержать разговор на любую тему, it тоже - есть технический бэкграунд. Профессиональный подход, но при этом уроки веселые, лёгкие, не напряжные. Очень много знает, интересный собеседник. Как с другом поговорить собрались за кружечкой поболтать )

Osama真的是一位很幽默风趣而且负责任的好老师.第一节课我向他描述了我的需求，他认真做了分析并且帮我做了学习计划，我很感谢他。今天刚上完第二节课，我们的学习主题是“Murder in a County House”，课上有图片、视频还有笔记，课件内容很丰富。中途我们的互动很频繁，尽管我发音不标准，讲英语也不怎么流利，Osama也会很耐心的听我讲话并且指导我，而且我们的一些话也会让对方发笑😹😹😹总之，学习过程很轻松愉快，感谢我能遇到像Osama这样的老师！还没有上Osama的课的伙伴们快来呀！！☺️☺️☺️🥳🥳🥳
