Nezha Youssefi
A Moroccan teacher of English
ABOUT ME
I’m Nezha Youssefi. I’m a Moroccan teacher of English in Mohamed El Fassi Middle school. I’ve been teaching since 2005.
Teaching is my passion. I love to make a difference in my students’ life. I like to make a change in my community.
My philosophy is don’t tell students what to do, show them how to do things, believe in their multi-intelligences and don’t teach them English as a language, but also how to use English to solve their daily life problems , how to develop their leadership skills and become good citizens.
