Hello everyone!

My name is Ray, and I’m TESOL-certified English tutor from Trinity College London.

I grew up learning and using both English and Arabic. From kindergarten, I attended English-language schools, had friends with whom I could only communicate in English, and, for several years, was taught by native English-speaking teachers. This early immersion helped me achieve near-native fluency in English, which I consider a second native language.

Beyond English lessons, I also offer seasonal and cultural lessons, including topics on modern and ancient Egypt, which are among my most popular classes.

Additionally, for those interested in Arabic, I teach conversational Egyptian Arabic, one of the most widely spoken dialects in the Arab world.


* Feedback on my English language lessons from some of my lovely Japanese students


I also want to thank my Cafetalk students, for regularly booking my lessons and also for taking the time to leave thoughtful feedback after our sessions.

Thanks to your continued support, I have been featured in the top Tutor Rankings on Cafetalk several times!



Enhance your English skills through captivating stories of gods, pharaohs, pyramids, and ancient rituals. 

This is a comprehensive course that covers Egyptian mythology and history, with guided readings, vocabulary building, and discussions for  upper intermediate and advanced learners.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced learner, this course buils a strong grammar foundations with structured lessons on tenses, sentence structure, and common errors.

Includes explanations, examples, and targeted exercises for learners seeking focused practice.

This course teaches you how to read the English phonetic scripts that will allow you to read any English word accurately.

And it trains you on the correct techniques to pronounce each sound in the English langauge to speak like a native. 
 

Discover modern-day Egypt with its cities, food, daily life, traditions, and hidden gems, through immersive media and local insights. (For intermediate or advanced learners.)

 
  • Availabilty on Cafetalk
If the listed times don’t work for you, please feel free to send me a message. I’d be happy to coordinate a time that suits you.

Online Standby

I try to be online on Thursdays & Saturdays and on Cafetalk Day (the 19th of every month) sometime between 4 PM and 10 PM JST, offering special lessons, big discounts, and fun games! 

Some of the lessons are suitable for both kids and adults and are exclusively available through Online Standby.
  • Coupons and Discounts

I really love meeting new learners and helping everyone explore the lessons they’re excited about! So, to make sure everyone has the chance to try the class they want, I offer seasonal coupons throughout the year.

Alongside those coupons, there are also a few ongoing perks I usually offer:

  • First-Time Students:
    If a student didn’t have a coupon for their very first lesson, they automatically receive a complimentary discount on their second session. (Doesn't apply on trial lessons.)

  • Loyal Students:
    Once a student has taken four lessons or more, they unlock a special discount on their next booking.

  • Price Changes:
    In the rare event that my lesson prices increase, all current students enjoy a 1–3 month grace period (based on how many repeat lessons they've taken), so they can continue at the discounted rate and adjust smoothly to any new pricing.

I look forward to welcoming you to a lesson soon and exploring your goals together!

  • My Hobbies and Interests


Apart from teaching, I have a deep passion for writing. I started writing fiction around the age of seven, and it’s been something I’ve loved ever since.

In 2018, I ventured into a different writing path by starting my own blog, where I write expository articles on various topics ranging from finance and business to health and lifestyle (therayjourney.com). In 2019, I even published an e-book on self-publishing and marketing.



Reading is another passion of mine, particularly mystery novels and classic literature, though I’m also an avid reader of non-fiction, exploring subjects like self-improvement and psychology. (I share weekly book recommendations here.)

Music holds a special place in my heart as well. I’ve been learning the piano for a few months now, and back in school, I used to play the violin.

I also enjoy sketching from time to time, even though I’m not great at it yet—I definitely need more practice!
 

Languages are definitely one of my biggest interests too. I was fluent in German back when I was in school. A couple of years ago, I started learning Korean and made good progress, but unfortunately, after stopping for a while, I’ve forgotten most of it!



At the end of the day, my main passions are music, art, writing, and languages, so you’ll often find me immersed in one of those areas, always exploring and learning something new.
