    Everyday English and Chinese! Language made simple
    Learning a new language can feel like trying to read IKEA instructions—backwards. But don’t worry, I’m here to make it simple, practical, and even a little fun (yes, even grammar!). Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been ghosting Duolingo for months (we’ve all been there), this class is for real people who want to actually speak Chinese or English in daily life. 🗣️ What you’ll get: • Real conversation practice – no robot-sounding textbook stuff • Useful words and phrases (like how to say “I’m lost” and “Where’s the bathroom?”—top priorities!) • Pronunciation help so people actually understand you • Cultural tips so you don’t accidentally insult someone’s grandmother • 1-on-1 lessons, so it’s all about you Whether you’re trying to order hotpot in Mandarin without burning your tongue 🔥, or finally want to say something in English other than “Hello, my name is...” – this class is your safe, supportive space. 🧠 Bonus: We’ll laugh through the mistakes (yes, tones in Chinese can betray you 😅), celebrate the wins (you ordered coffee in English and it wasn’t a disaster!), and help you feel like a language legend in no time. 🌱 Build Real Progress One lesson is a great start — but you’ll see real, lasting progress after a few sessions. That’s when you’ll start surprising yourself with how much you can understand and say. Think of it like planting a language seed — let’s water it together and watch it grow! 🌿 Ready? Bring your curiosity (and maybe a snack), and let’s start speaking!

    Calculus I Explained: Limits, Derivatives, and Real-World Applications
    In this introductory calculus course, we start by demystifying limits and continuity, then move to the powerful concept of derivatives and their applications in real-world scenarios. Learn how to compute and interpret derivatives using rules like the product, quotient, and chain rules. Apply your skills to solve optimization problems, model motion, and understand the rate of change in fields like biology, physics, and economics. With a balance of rigorous practice and conceptual clarity, I help students tackle this gateway subject with confidence and precision.

    I am Engineer Abdel Rahman Abdel Aal, a university instructor specializing in explaining engineering subjects in a simplified and interactive manner via Zoom. God willing, our lessons aim to provide a deep and systematic understanding of the curriculum content, through simplified and interactive explanations that adapt to each student's level. 🔹 Short tests are given periodically to measure understanding and stimulate concentration, while clarifying the differences between similar concepts to prevent distraction. 🔹 I rely on various examples, patience, and gradual delivery of information in my explanation, until the student reaches full understanding with confidence. 🔹 There is continuous follow-up via WhatsApp or Telegram throughout the semester to answer questions and help the student with studying and solving problems as they occur. 💻 The explanation is conducted online via Zoom, with a full recording of each session provided, so that the student can review it at any time. 🎯 Our goal is not just to pass the subject, but to excel in it and understand it in an easy and consistent manner, God willing.

    Tips and Tricks for Sociology Essay Writing, Targeted to GCSE and AS/A Level Students.
    I am eager to help young people feel confident when writing sociology essays. I will place an emphasis on deconstructing the questions students are given by encouraging them to reword the question to offer a different perspective on it. In addition, the main aim of a sociology essay is to convince the reader more and more of the argument you have claimed in the introduction. I want to help students do this by helping them follow the PEAL structure, i.e. Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link back to question. I have found this a very effective and coherent way of structuring an essay. I have studied Sociology for 7 years now, at AS/A Level, Undergraduate Level and now at MSc level at LSE. I was awarded First-Class Honours in my undergraduate as well as 'Best Dissertation of the year' by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I am seeking a potential career in academia so I truly feel passionate about engaging with the lesson plans on this platform and helping students feel confident in their essay writing.
