Yusra

Hello
My name is Yusra! I am an English teacher who always aspires to get unique teaching opportunities, and a continuing student in the school of life. I started teaching adults when I was in Syria as a university instructor for first and second year students, and since then my passion for English Language teaching has started. I moved to Turkey in 2014, and there I had the chance to teach in different language schools and gained a lot of experience. Then, I moved to Hungary to pursue my masters and I was fortunate as well to teach high school students in one of the schools in Budapest. I believe that I am a good team member and a patient teacher and who puts her students needs first and work upon that to create a fun and fruitful environment for students. My teaching method is described as nontraditional, fun, practical and creative.
