Testimonies
---------
In just 5 and 1/2 days in February, 2022, I was beginning to transform almost roughly half a secondary school's children !

A Laboratory Technician & Former Senior Mathematics Teacher liked what I was doing - and noted I was the only teacher at the school she saw using my method !

The Head of Science wanted its success for her own children !
The Head of Physics wanted its success for his own children !

The school cleaners liked and agreed strongly with what I was doing !

Children kept clapping hands for me in different classes !

The most dangerous [ latent murderer ] boy, Will, was transformed by my 6th day !
His rebellious classmate, Jackson, was transformed by the 5th day !

From my 1st day to my 6th last day teaching at the school as a Supply Teacher, children kept calling out in the Playgrounds, " Hello, Mr ! "

That week I was helped by 72 million pastors & members of Christ Embassy praying from 6am for the children of the world and the Lord Jesus Christ answered miraculously our prayers.

92% Mathematics - By A Girl NOT In Top Sets - ca 7 Lessons ONLY !

In just 6 months of Home Tuition, 7 A, A, A, A, A, A & A* - BY A LOWEST SET Cardiff High School GCSE BOY !

100% SUCCESS - with zero rejection of learning - BY DYSLEXIC CHILDREN - Since 2016 !

ALL BECAUSE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS BLESSED MY PEDAGOGICAL METHODS - Since 1985 !
Thanks to Him, He used me to bless many families - since I entered school teaching in 1992 !

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXPERIENCED TEACHER - I BEGAN TEACHING - OVER 35 YEARS AGO !

HOME - SCHOOL - UNIVERSITY - BUSINESS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BIOLOGY - EASIER , MORE ACCURATE WAYS TO LEARN CERTAIN TOPICS In !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 100 % SUCCESS - Teaching Dyslexic Children - In RECENT YEARS !

* 100 % SUCCESS - UNIVERSITY Personal Statements - OVER ALL MY YEARS So Far !

7 A, A, A, A, A, A & A* - By Bottom Set GCSE Boy - In JUST 6 Months' Tuition - Cardiff Hign School !

How ?

* Since 1992, I have given my school and home classes ACTIVE LEARNING
rather than the popular PASSIVE LEARNING.

This lets students enjoy lessons and learn FASTER.

* I use special layouts of 2s, 3s and 4s
to aid the brain assimilate faster and easier.

* I use special serene colours and avoid negative colours that slow the brain's cognitive processes.

* I teach students which daily activities to avoid so that their brains go back to normal in 7 to 31 days - for many if they follow my advice fully.

* I show school & university students a FAR EASIER & MORE EFFICIENT JAMES WAY TO DO HOMEWORK !

.... so be more than ready and well prepared BEFORE THE EXAMS if you follow my simple, easy methodology fully properly !

All because in 1987, I decided to read the Holy Bible more - and my wife prays for my students !

The Lord Jesus Christ is the One Who has taught me to teach in EXCELLENT WAYS ! MANY Subjects !

It was not by my 3 universities. The best Teachers' Training College at the time , Sir Robert Black College Of Education, where I obtained a Certificate of Special Education trained in some ways like what God Almighty gave me through The Holy Bible.

If it had not been for the Lord Jesus, I would have been like all the other teachers - and would not have achieved dynamic top results for pupils who followed my methods fully properly.

Furthermore, experience in education has helped me to develop very good relationships with the parents of my students and co-operate with them.

As a professional Arabic tutor, I am passionate about helping students learn and master the Arabic language. with native Arabic to both children and adults, I have developed a deep understanding of the language and its nuances.

My teaching style is personalized to meet the individual needs and goals of each student. I believe in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Whether a student is a beginner or an advanced learner, I am able to tailor my lessons to their level and pace of learning.

In addition to teaching Arabic grammar and vocabulary, I also incorporate cultural elements into my lessons. I believe that learning about the culture and customs of Arabic-speaking countries is an essential part of language learning, as it helps students develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of the language.

I hold a degree in bachelor's and am fluent in Arabic, French, and English]. I am also familiar with a range of teaching methods and materials and am able to adapt my teaching approach to suit the needs of each individual student.

Overall, my goal as an Arabic tutor is to help students develop a strong foundation in the language, build their confidence, and achieve their language learning goals.

This is the ultimate executive function and study skills coaching program that utilizes Artificial Intelligence as a personalized assistant.

Designed specifically for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including those with challenges in organization, focus, and information processing. This course provides real, measurable tools for academic autonomy.

We move beyond basic homework help. We treat the AI as a co-teacher to manage specific learning barriers:

The AI study buddy: Students learn to use generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) ethically as a powerful organizational assistant. They master using it to summarize dense notes, break down complex science paragraphs into simplified concepts, or structure large projects into manageable steps.

Executive function tool integration: We focus on integrating AI-enabled planning apps and task management systems to assist with time management, scheduling, and project sequencing—skills essential for students with ADHD or organizational difficulties.

Personalized remediation: We leverage generative AI's power to create instant, personalized learning aids—for example, quickly generating visual study guides, mind maps, or specific practice quizzes tailored to the student's current school curriculum and unique learning style.

The Goal: To build confidence, independence, and accountability, allowing the student to navigate their schoolwork more effectively and rely less on parental or teaching support.

Why this program is premium: your investment covers the specialized pedagogical planning required for this complex integration:

It requires extensive preparation to tailor AI prompts and tools to the student's specific SEN profile (e.g., Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD).

It includes the creation of detailed progress reports and recommended toolkits for parents, ensuring strategies are consistent at home and school.

I have a degree in primary education, so I primarily tutor children aged 6-12, with the possibility of tutoring children in the first year of secondary school (ESO). I can teach any subject, including English, in which I have a B2 level of proficiency. (Being an English teacher, I could tutor up to the high school level).
On the other hand, I could teach the classes either at my home in Santa Marta or at your home if you live in Salamanca city center or in the surrounding towns. My availability is flexible, and the classes are tailored to the characteristics and needs of each student to maximize their potential.
