Hi, My name is Masih. I am a Canadian English language professor with over a decade of Canadian and international teaching experience. I have two Masters degrees in education and language teaching. I have taught a range of English language and test prep courses at some of the best universities and colleges in Canada and abroad. I’ve worked as a certified IELTS and CELPIP examiner and developed multiple standardized tests. When you book your first lesson, you will see that my classes are interactive, engaging, and most importantly student-centred. You will be doing most of the talking, while I listen and make corrections and suggestions when necessary. So whether you are looking to improve your conversational English, IELTS or CELPIP scores, essay writing, or any other language skill, I have the best and most effective learning strategy ready for you. So, what are you waiting for? I would love to meet you. Go ahead and book your trial lesson.
