Hello, I'm Billy-Mai a.k.a Shams (the Arabic word for ‘Sun’)!
I’m a professional writer and communication specialist, experienced tutor, mentor, and self-development coach. I love dogs, music, spending time in nature, and having deep conversations!
I’m the perfect teacher for you if you're looking for classes focused on native-level discussion, particularly surrounding mental health, holistic wellness, and spirituality.
I offer Creative Writing classes and workshops for children and adults who are inspired to write any creative project that involves producing and copywriting (eg. memoir, launching a business, etc.)
I began teaching English language, literature, and drama to children when I was 15. I won a national volunteer award for my dedication and enthusiasm as a young teaching assistant. At 18, I moved to London for uni and worked as a private tutor for children and taught ESL to groups of adults. I received a 1st in BA Media and Communication with Creative Writing aged 24, and became TESOL certified shortly after. Since then, I have developed my therapy skills and begun guiding clients through self-development and holistic growth. I aim to be a mental health and well-being coach through the lens of spiritual psychologies. Currently, I'm studying an MSc in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Transpersonal Psychology.Mes ressources d'enseignement

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. )

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!!
