A little about me

Hi, I'm Jana

I'm an ESL coach from Lebanon, and I work one-to-one with Arabic speakers — online, anywhere in the world.

I've been teaching English for over five years in secondary schools, universities, and NGOs across Lebanon and Turkey. I founded English Mastered in 2021 because I kept meeting the same student: an Arabic speaker who had studied English for years and still froze the moment they had to use it.

I know that freeze. Arabic is my first language, and I learned English exactly the way my students do. I know the sound your mouth defaults to, the word order your brain reaches for, and the rule that should work but doesn't — and that's the whole reason English Mastered exists.

Whether you're preparing for IELTS, writing emails at work, or you just want to hold a conversation without panicking — I'll meet you exactly where you are and build a clear path from there.

How I Teach

What you can expect from working with me. No scripts, no one-size-fits-all syllabus.

Built around you

Every lesson targets your real weak spots, and the goals you set on day one shape the whole plan.

Arabic-speaker aware

I know the exact grammar, sounds, and habits that trip up Arabic speakers — because I've been through it myself.

Patient & encouraging

No judgement, no pressure. Mistakes are how we find the next thing to fix — and we celebrate the wins.

Flexible & online

Sessions over Zoom, Teams, or Webex — on a schedule that works around your job or your studies.

Qualifications & Training

Years of study behind every lesson

Formal training in English and language teaching — and I keep learning.
