English, Arabic and Hebrew online tutor I graduated from Alexandria university with a degree of translation. I worked before as an English teacher for children for 6 months as well as teaching English Hebrew and Arabic for more than 4 years so far. I know a lot of slang expressions that can be used in daily conversation, besides, I have been working as a technical support employee for 7 month for apple company and vodafone UK so I handled UK and israel customers, that means I have huge experience in English and Hebrew. The reason I teach English and Hebrew is because I studied the two languages on my own until I became fluent, so I know how hard it is to be self-taught.

12 Years of Experience | the most detailed notes you'll ever receive 😌 I've worked in journalism, videography, and design, but once I found teaching, I knew I'd always be doing some form of it or another; I can't imagine myself doing anything else. Sometimes it's still hard to believe that I get to talk to people around the world for a living. The conversations happen as discussions, debates, recommendations, stories, chats... They've deeply changed my life and continue to do so. Many of my closest friends started as students and teachers on iTalki.

I'm here to get you talking I'm a classic Third Culture Kid: raised in London, educated in the French system, Brazilian by passport, with a Honduran mum, and a Berliner since I was 14. I grew up speaking French, English, Portuguese and Spanish, and added German and Italian since. My career spans finance, music, psychology & well-being and now EdTech, alongside my Innovation Design studies at CODE University. I've taught English at a middle school outside Paris, French to newcomers starting from scratch, and statistics to psychology students. As a certified transformative coach, I love helping learners who feel stuck rediscover the joy of speaking. I specialise in advanced English for learners who want to sound clear, confident and nuanced, especially in business and international settings, with either a British or an American accent. I also teach French at all levels. My lessons feel like real conversations built around what you care about. I get you talking, take notes, and we work on your recurring patterns together until you're thinking in the language. Off-duty, you'll find me at a live gig, reading economics or philosophy, or out with my dogs, Ziggy and Emba.

I am REALLY passionate about exchanging with people, seeing their evolution and, more than anything, being a part of this process! I have been teaching German, English and Portuguese for 8 years. I started tutoring Business English at a university in Germany, which I then continued doing online, as well as preparing students for job interviews and for German and English proficiency tests. I also have experience teaching children and teens and love connecting with them! I work my hardest to get to know my student and teach a class that is interesting to you and that meets your needs the best. Learning should be fun! Especially when you just got back from a long, hard day... I use an inductive approach, encouraging you to make as many associations as possible to other subjects within the language being learned as well as to your personal experience. =) So, if you want to have a structured class while having a lot of fun, just go ahead and book a class with me! Please use a computer in class as you can then see the video as well as the messages and the material that I will possibly be sharing =D

3+ years full-time teaching. 4+ years of 1-1 tutoring. Bachelor English, Masters Linguistics. I fell in love with teaching English during my college years. I especially loved teaching English to others as a Second or other language from both ESL and TEFL experiences. During my summer in Indonesia working in an ESL language center, I found a passion to help others acquire language so that they could reach their goals: in job opportunities, studies, or even just making friends. I found a lot of fulfillment once I started helping others achieve their goals throughout my time working in college. It is my goal to help my students achieve their goals on their language learning journey, both long-term and short-term.

Arabic is my native language, and I’ve been immersed in it since the age of four. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep passion for the Arabic language, participating in and winning multiple awards and competitions. Beyond my academic pursuits, I have a keen interest in technology, enjoy learning new languages, and love connecting with people from diverse cultures. With over four years of experience teaching Arabic, I bring a patient and adaptable approach to each lesson. Having lived in Jordan all my life, I’m well-versed in various Arabic dialects and understand the nuances that come with them. My background in medicine allows me to offer specialized lessons in medical Arabic, catering to professionals in the medical field. I believe in creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable to practice and grow. In my lessons, I focus on the four key language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. I tailor each session to the student’s goals, whether it’s mastering Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), understanding colloquial dialects, or delving into medical terminology. I utilize internationally accredited curricula and incorporate real-life scenarios to make the learning process engaging and relevant. My aim is to make Arabic a living language for you, one that flows naturally in your daily life.

First of all, I absolutely love my job, and I wouldn’t do anything else but teaching. I love my students, love helping them and guiding them through the world of a foreign language. Nothing can be more rewarding than seeing my students’ progress! I’m patient, energetic and cheerful. I always try to bring some humour into my lessons, because humour always helps to memorise better and to keep motivated. I encourage my students not only to LEARN the language but to actually USE it as a tool for different needs. It's never too early to start reading and watching videos on the topics which truly interest you! I know it from my own experience, and I help my students to find interesting content.
