Youssef Charfa

Hi, I'm Youssef! I'm a native Arabic speaker, fully bilingual in English (IELTS 8.0), and I tutor both Arabic and Maths. I'm currently studying for an MSc in Financial Technology at the University of Glasgow on a Global Leadership Scholarship, and I hold a BBA in Finance and FinTech (CGPA 3.79). At university I tutored Calculus 1 students for a full semester, and I spent nearly three years working in Arabic in Gulf finance, producing client documents and explaining technical ideas clearly.

ARABIC: I teach complete beginners, children learning to read and write, heritage speakers reconnecting with the language, and professionals who need Arabic for work or travel. We cover the alphabet and pronunciation, Modern Standard Arabic grammar and reading, and practical conversation. I can also teach business and finance Arabic.

MATHS: I teach every level from nursery and primary school up to and including GCSE (KS1, KS2, KS3, GCSE Foundation and Higher). I do not teach A level. For GCSE students I focus on exam technique and past papers.

HOW MY LESSONS WORK: We start with a short chat about your goals and current level, then I build a personalised plan. I break every topic into clear, simple steps, use plenty of worked examples and real-life situations, and give short practice tasks between lessons so progress sticks. I explain in English whenever needed and always check understanding before moving on.

LESSON FORMAT: My lessons are mainly online, so you can learn from anywhere in the UK, with flexible times including mornings, afternoons and weekends. Online lessons can be just 1 hour. In-person lessons at your home in Glasgow are also available, with a minimum booking of 2 hours per session.

I'm patient, friendly and encouraging, because confidence makes all the difference. Get in touch and tell me what you'd like to achieve!
