Success Starts from Within and Confidence Is Key

Billel A.

My native language is Arabic and I love it. It's such a beautiful language and it's so different and similar to other languages. French is my second language and I started learning it since the fourth grade. By the eighth grade, I found English and that was another gem that pushed me further.

I have two Bachelor's degrees. One in the English language (linguistics/literature/civilizations) and another in translation/interpretation (Arabic, English, French). I also have a certificate in TESOL. I think that making the lesson student-centered and allowing the student time to reflect and self-correct, along with motivating and simplifying the learning process make the students have the adequate confidence in themselves and in their ability to learn the language even when it's a challenge for them.

I've been playing soccer since my childhood. I played it for fun and competitively. I played in the ALS (Amateur League Soccer) and helped coach the team I was part of. I still coach children on a voluntary basis.

To learn starts from within. It's a combination of need, motivation, resolution, hope, and love. I help students gather these components and reach their goal in learning. When you look at learning as a fun environment, your learning will become much easier and the road will be full of joy as you discover and realize your hidden abilities. Have fun as you learn, and let me get you there.
