Aya is a respected member of our tutor community. She is highly recommended for her commitment and the quality of her lessons. An excellent choice to progress with confidence.
About Aya
My name is Aya, and I bring a unique blend of academic rigor and compassionate teaching to every lesson. Currently a medical student-to-be, my journey has been defined by discipline and a commitment to helping others. My professional legitimacy is rooted in my experience as a volunteer tutor for Paper Airplanes, an international organization where I was vetted and trained to deliver high-quality English instruction. This role required me to follow a structured US-based curriculum and maintain a high standard of professional ethics and reliability—qualities I bring to our classroom every day.
My Teaching Approach
I believe that confidence is the foundation of language learning. My method is patience-first and highly interactive. I don't just teach grammar; I teach you how to think in English. I use a "Student-Centered" approach where we focus on real-world application, ensuring you spend the majority of the lesson actively speaking. Whether we are discussing daily routines or complex topics, I provide the "scaffolding" you need—tools and vocabulary—to help you express yourself without fear.
What to Expect in Our Lessons
Structured Progression: Every lesson has a clear goal. We begin with a focus on new, "normal" vocabulary and move into guided conversation practice.
Peer-to-Peer Mentoring: As someone who has mastered the language myself, I understand the psychological barriers of learning. I act as both a tutor and a mentor.
Scientific Precision: My medical background ensures I am organized. After every session, you will receive a summary of our work and specific feedback to help you track your growth.
Who I Teach
I specialize in helping beginners and intermediate learners who want to master "normal," everyday conversational English. My lessons are ideal for students who value a calm, intelligent, and highly professional environment. I am especially experienced in working with those who need a patient hand to help them bridge the gap between basic understanding and fluent communication.

Hi, I'm Aya! I am a dedicated future medical student and a vetted Paper Airplanes volunteer tutor. My lessons are designed for anyone who wants to stop feeling nervous and start speaking basic, normal, conversational English for everyday life. Whether you are a student, a traveler, or just want to improve your confidence, I am here to help you reach your goals in a supportive and friendly environment.
My Teaching Method
I believe that the best way to learn a language is by doing. My approach is "Student-Centered," which means you do 70% of the talking. I use the communicative method—focusing on real-life scenarios rather than boring grammar drills.
Scaffolding: I provide "sentence starters" to help you build your thoughts.
Peer-to-Peer Mentoring: As a student myself, I understand the struggle of learning. I use the same patience and discipline I apply to my medical studies to help you grow.
Trauma-Informed & Patient: Through my training at Paper Airplanes, I have learned to be exceptionally patient and to create a safe space where making mistakes is welcomed as part of learning.
Typical Lesson Plan (60 Minutes)
The Warm-Up (10 min): A fun "Daily Check-in" or a quick game to get your brain thinking in English.
Vocabulary Focus (15 min): We introduce 5–10 "power words" for a specific topic (e.g., shopping, meeting friends, or health).
Guided Conversation (20 min): We practice a real-life dialogue using the new words.
Correction & Feedback (10 min): I share a digital "notes page" with you containing all the small corrections we made during our talk.
The Wrap-Up (5 min): A quick review and a "Mission" (small homework) for our next meeting.
What Sets Me Apart
What makes me different is my vetted experience. As a volunteer for Paper Airplanes, I have been trained to use professional US-based curricula and have successfully guided students through intensive language terms. My medical background means I am organized, detail-oriented, and highly professional. When you book a lesson with me, you aren't just getting a chat partner; you are getting a mentor who is committed to your progress.
Who This Is For
Levels: Absolute Beginners (A1) to Intermediate (B1).
Goals: Travel, everyday life, school confidence, or basic medical terminology.
Age: I enjoy working with both teenagers and adults.

She creates a supportive environment that builds confidence and focuses on real communication. Aya is patient, dedicated, and truly committed to her students’ progress.I have worked closely with Aya on several projects, and I’ve seen firsthand how much she cares about her students.
What I appreciate most is her ability to make hard topics feel simple. She explains things clearly and keeps her lessons fun and engaging.
During a recent project we worked on together, I was impressed by her patience and her focus on finding the best way to help others learn. She is a kind, reliable teacher who truly knows how to help her students succeed.Aya is an amazing tutor with experience. She volunteered to teach students in conflict areas. She is so nice. She will explain to you her teaching strategy and how she would help you improve your English skills.
