About Me
italki teacher since May 31, 2022InterestsHistoryArtReadingPets & AnimalsFilms & TV Series
Hello there, my name is Muhammad and I am an English teacher from Syria but I have been living in Turkey for 8 years. I speak Arabic, my mother tongue, and basic Turkish. I like watching movies and series, riding my bike, and I really like calligraphy.
I have a BA in English Language and literature from the University of Aleppo and also hold CELTA and TEFL certificates.
My qualifications include 8 years of teaching English in language institutes and private schools and for the last 4 years of my experience I have been teaching online.
These years have helped me to get familiarized with many courses & books and also have given me the chance to deal with different kinds of students of different nationalities ranging from children to adults with a variety of proficiency levels and courses like General English, Business English, English for Academic Purposes and special conversation lessons like speaking clubs.
I can say that I have a great passion towards teaching English. Teaching for me is more than subjects, materials and grammar rules, so I always make sure to have fun with my students because I find a great joy when I communicate with them :)
I understand the urgent need of English for many students and as a second language learner/teacher, I have been through many of the difficulties and challenges that most of the students generally have.
So I hope that I am the one who can help you through your journey.My teaching material

Acestea sunt primele mele ore online si sunt foarte multumit de metoda de invatare si uneori de sensul umorului. De asemenea pe langa engleza este un prieten pentru dialog foarte bun si este serios ceea ce privetse predarea limbei straine

Empecé con Muhammad con el objetivo de sacarme el B2 y, tras conseguirlo gracias a sus clases, he decidido seguir con él sin dudarlo. Llevamos 16 sesiones y actualmente estamos centrados en preparar entrevistas para prácticas de ingeniería en el extranjero. Es un profesor que sabe identificar tus puntos débiles, te corrige de forma constructiva y te da herramientas reales para sonar natural y profesional. Totalmente recomendado!
