À propos

Hello, I'm Masih, a Canadian college professor with 12 years of English teaching experience and 3 degrees from top Canadian universities. I grew up in Toronto, Canada, but I have worked and lived all over the world. My hobbies include working out at my local gym, reading novels and self-improvement books, and spending quality time with my wife and four children. In addition to English, I speak Farsi and Arabic fluently. I have been teaching ESL, English Literature, Test Prep and Academic English since 2012. I have taught children, teens, and adults in Canada, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere. I have taught multiple English language courses at the best Canadian universities and colleges, including the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, Algonquin College and La Cite College. I have three Canadian university degrees in English, Education, and Language Teaching. In addition, I am TESL Canada certified (Professional Standard Two). I also have a wealth of knowledge regarding standardized English tests. I have worked as a certified IELTS speaking examiner, a CELPIP writing rater, and a CAEL test developer. So what does all of this mean for you? You have clicked on the right profile. You are in good hands : ) Book a trial class now and begin your journey to overcoming the language barriers hindering your professional, social, and academic success.
