Happy Chinese New Year, lovely students! I'm back online and welcoming the Spring 🌸

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, etc.)教学经验
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 developed my therapeutic skills and began 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. Now, I'm studying an MSc in Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychology. 我提供的课程和我的教学风格
I offer 3 types of classes:
1. Conversational English Practice:
Discussing any topic, I'll occasionally pause the conversation to help you understand how to use the correct grammar, words, and pronunciation, and introduce you to new vocabulary and phrases.
2. Creative Writing Workshops:
We work to improve your writing skills and develop your written voice and personality. Perfect for school essays or exam prep, poetry, prose and scripts, business emails and reports, etc.
3. Self-Development Sessions:
With emotional support and guidance to build your self-awareness, these sessions will help shift your mindset and perspective to improve your mental health and holistic wellbeing.我的教学资料

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. )
