Nader El Ahmadie PhD, Scientific Background, Highly English Fluent
No reviews yet

Hello ! My name is Nader and I am originally from Lebanon, living abroad. Throughout my educational and professional journey, I have accumulated a good number of degrees and a reputable amount of experience in teaching at both the formal and informal levels, both in the online and offline formats.

I am a committed and hardworking individual, ready to tend to the needs of the students. I possess the patience and persistence to repeat the lessons and information as frequently and throughly as needed. I have very high organizational skills and will design a curriculum for the course, tailored to the individual need of the students, something I have become highly capable at, as a result of the experience throughout my Doctoral journey, and from teaching my students.

What matters most to me is the benefit of my students, and that they are able to learn the information to the best possible extent. My teaching style involves direct conversation, utilizing real life context in my lessons, as well as light assignments that help the student practice what was delivered during the lectures.
