Marcos from Switzerland

I always enjoy my lessons with Oussama. Oussama likes his work as a teacher and you notice that from the first lesson. We have always a good time together. He has a professional way to teach. He is experienced. Moreover, he is empathic and friendly. Oussama is a great person, not only a tutor. He helps you to set up the objective and targets for the lessons and coordinate you during that path. Oussama gives great explanations. His lessons are always very interesting and well prepared and organized. Furthermore, he is a very knowledgeable person, so it is great to get to know new things through conversations.

Isaac living in the United States

Yes! Oussama is the best tutor I have ever met. He has a very deep understanding of the language and a lot of teaching experience to get a very clear view of the language and he is a really nice guy. I already had a few other tutors, but Oussama is by far the best. I have been learning with him for months and will continue to book lessons with him. My speaking has become more fluid, my comprehension has increased and I feel more comfortable and confident speaking to native speakers.

Firas From Jordan

Oussama is one of the very helpful tutors in developing a study plan for the student. My experience with him teaching my son is wonderful. My son was waiting impatiently for the lesson, and I noticed a marked improvement in conversation after about two weeks of starting lessons. He is patient and a good follower. For those wishing to improve the pronunciation of the English language, especially American, Oussama is an excellent option to improve pronunciation, reading, and vocabulary building. His most important priority in the lesson is to benefit and develop the student. In the event that the student wishes to choose a specific curriculum, he works cooperatively according to the set plan.
