My services
Academic and Professional Language Training
I offer a range of academic skills, test and essay preparation including AP, IB SAT, IELTS and TOEFL to help students ease into the rigors of post-secondary education. I also work with university students and professionals who require individual academic or professional writing skills and training.
High School Students
I prepare students, including home-schooled students, who wish to apply to universities and colleges in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and select European institutions. I also advise international students on equivalencies, mandatory tests, as well as the necessary language requirement levels.
Student Athletes
I provide student athletes with the insight they need to embark on their exciting journey. My knowledge of NCAA and U Sports (formerly CIS) rules and regulations help student athletes and their families make informed decisions.
Education is a continuous journey
Meet Professor Amir Abou-El-Kheir
I completed my doctoral studies at King’s College London where I investigated the social development of students with specific focus on the dominance of foreign languages and the decline of native languages in international education contexts, and its implications on local culture and identity. I also hold a Master of Philosophy in Education and Cultural Studies from University of Glasgow as well as teaching and teacher training certifications.
Born in Montréal, I have worked internationally as an educator, teacher trainer and researcher for various educational institutions. I have taught in England, France, Monaco, South Korea, UAE, Qatar and Morocco. Currently, I am a part-time English and academic Writing Professor at the University of Ottawa.
In addition to my institutional experience, I work with students and their families to develop strategic and successful academic plans. This includes language and academic skills tutorials, exam prep, university selection and the application process. I also work with student-athletes who wish to pursue their sporting aspiration at the collegiate level in the US and Canada.
I would love to speak with you about your education ambitions. Get in touch to see how I could support you academically.
