Hi, there! Thank you for checking out my profile. My name's Rayah. I'm a native English speaker and an experienced and qualified ESL teacher from the USA. I absolutely love my job! During my spare time, I enjoy reading, studying foreign languages, and watching old films. I am a very patient, friendly, and funny person. Because of my personality, my students feel very comfortable in my classes. So, if you're shy or reluctant to speak English, don't worry; I will help you become more confident!

Me as a Teacher
I have a Master's degree in Communication and two ESL/EFL certificates. I've been teaching adults from around the world since 2017. I help beginners to advanced improve their General English skills and help students improve their fluency and accuracy. Students also acquire a better understanding of grammar and expand their vocabulary. I am very passionate about helping students reach their goals; I get excited as I see their English ability improve step by step! I am always there for my students to encourage, motivate, and guide them!

My lessons & teaching style
*One important thing to note is that my lessons are audio-only, which means webcams aren't used.* This allows us to focus fully on speaking and listening skills. Unsure about having lessons without webcams? Well, I highly suggest that you give it a try! Like my many students who have been taking lessons with me for years, you may be pleasantly surprised and find out that your level can improve much more without them! I strive to make all of my lessons engaging, interesting, and relevant to my students and their particular situation.

Check out just a few of my many reviews from my students!

Ivan, Hong Kong(Student since 2020)Rayah is an amazing teacher. She plans her lessons so well, making every class both interesting and engaging. Her lesson is always welcoming and full of energy, and it’s clear she cares a lot about her students. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a teacher who makes learning enjoyable and meaningful.

Victor, Spain(Student since 2022)Rayah is an excellent teacher, she provides me with discussion and study material before each class and with enough advance notice, so I get a lot of use out of the classes and always learn new expressions and vocabulary on different current topics. She is patient and corrects without interrupting the rhythm of the class, from which she always quickly sends you a feedback of written corrections.

Joanna, Poland(Student since 2022)
This is another year that I continue classes with Rayah. If you are wondering about choosing a teacher, you have the answer, only Rayah. Rayah is a person who adapts lessons to your skills, is always prepared for classes, has lots of ideas and is patient. I never feel stressed during her classes. Every conversation is like meeting a great friend with whom I can't wait to meet again. Thanks to her, I broke through this most difficult barrier and I am not afraid to speak up in English. I am extremely grateful to her and I cannot imagine studying with anyone else. However, I heartily recommend it to all those who are undecided. She is simply the best!:-)

Amber, China(Student since 2023)
I've been practicing English with Rayah for a year and a half. Rayah is truly a great teacher. She is very patient with me. In her classes, I can not only practice English, but also learn about things happening in different areas, broaden my horizons, and expand my knowledge.

Tatiana, Belarus(Student since 2023)Teacher Rayah is very professional and patient, Her teaching methods are very effective for me — moderately paced, engaging and fun. Having homework has immensely contributed the final outcome as well. As a result, I can communicate with my clients and colleagues with JOY, not stress. I even got promoted :) No doubts, her lessons have definitely been one of my best investments.
