Mahmoud Maihoob Destinations Alumni Experiences The first question that pops up to the minds of many experienced and aspiring English teachers who want to teach abroad is: where in the world should I teach? Asia? Africa? The Middle East? Well, my answer to this question is and will always be Egypt. Here are 6 reasons why teaching English in Egypt is an awesome and wholesome experience. In most Arabic-speaking countries, an obligation of fluency and eloquence in English has become pivotal for jobseekers and parents who desire the best possible education for their children; especially in English. In Egypt, it is incredibly easy to begin tutoring or to teach full-time at a school, even if you have limited experience. A...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas To begin with, I have been teaching English for more than 30 years. I teach groups of students and individuals of different ages and abilities. That is why I have always had a problem how to raise my students’ motivation, how to make my lessons interesting and exciting so that the bell at the end of the class would be for me, not for my students. I have always wanted them to be upset that the lesson is over. As a result of this research, I concluded that along with having different games, quizzes, puzzles, crosswords and project works, learning and singing songs is as challenging and helpful as doing grammar exercises. The results of learning English songs by heart is stunning. Do not think that I do this...  [Read more]

Zainab Sadriwala Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas “The most challenging of the tasks during this COVID era has been to make my children read” states a frustrated Amena; a mother of two children, one in the primary years and the other in middle school. “It was much easier for me to monitor them and ask them to read and follow the schedule when they knew they had to report to their teacher.

Najwa Sabih Destinations Alumni Experiences Turkey is one of the most beautiful countries where you can have a lovely vacation. There are many touristic sites and fascinating places that will mesmerize you with the beauty of this country. Though, living in Turkey can be challenging. It is completely different from coming for tourism. When I decided to move to Istanbul almost two years ago, in October 2020, it was still the period of the covid-19 pandemic. This was really hard, as the companies were still closed, and everything was online, which made it hard for me to find a job. I was still an undergraduate back then, which was also a negative point for me to be able to have a job. Later, things turned out for the best. When I...  [Read more]
