About Me

Hello! My name is Zaki Badr, and I am an English instructor and teacher trainer with many years of teaching experience.

I have been teaching English for a long time, working with learners of different ages, levels, and nationalities. Throughout my career, I have taught children, teenagers, and adults, from complete beginners to advanced learners.

My goal as a teacher is simple: to make English clear, practical, enjoyable, and easy to use in real-life situations.

Teaching Experience

Since 2011, I have worked with students from different countries and cultural backgrounds, including learners from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, France, and other countries.

My teaching experience includes:

General English

English conversation

American pronunciation and accent training

English grammar

Vocabulary development

IELTS preparation

English for young learners

Business and professional English

English communication skills

Online English teaching

I have also organized and delivered English conversation programs at the Information Resource Center (IRC) at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

In addition to teaching, I have built an online English-learning community with more than 100,000 followers on Facebook.

One of my IELTS students achieved an overall Band 8 after an intensive eight-hour training program with me, alongside the student's own independent preparation and practice.

My Teaching Style

I believe students learn best when they understand how English is actually used rather than simply memorizing rules.

In my courses, I focus on:

Clear and simple explanations

Real-life English

Practical examples

Conversation practice

Pronunciation and American English

Listening and speaking

Vocabulary in context

Storytelling

Confidence building

Step-by-step learning

I aim to create a friendly and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable practicing English and making mistakes as part of the learning process.

Academic Background

In addition to my English-teaching qualifications, I graduated from the Higher Technological Institute (HTI) in 2020, specializing in Electrical and Communication Engineering.

My technical and management background has also helped me develop a structured, analytical approach to teaching and course design.

Why Learn with Me?

Whether you are a complete beginner, an intermediate learner who wants to become more fluent, or an advanced student looking to refine your English, my courses are designed to help you make practical progress.

I have spent years studying not only English, but also how to teach English effectively. I understand many of the difficulties learners face, and I design my lessons to make challenging concepts easier to understand and remember.

I am patient, friendly, organized, and committed to helping my students improve.

I look forward to seeing you in one of my Udemy courses. Let's make English easier, more practical, and more enjoyable!
