• When and why I developed an interest in my chosen fields?

  I developed an interest in my various professional fields because they would allow me to put into practice
  my skills and my great rigor. I think that I am able to thrive in my domain thanks to my inclination from an
  early age. In addition, my deep experience allowed me to provide quality assistance to the people who
  need support.
  Technology and IT are areas that have always fascinated me: it was to feed my passion that I decided to
  choose this profession. In addition, this domain corresponds perfectly to my expectations and aligns very
  well with my objectives.

• What makes me passionate about your subject?

  My biggest passion is learning about software and technology. I was fascinated by computers from an
  early age, so I decided to study Science and Technology and have continued in that direction since
  graduating. It was a great choice for me!
  I have always been passionate about all my professions based on creativity. This passion still allowed me
  to acquire the professional expertise necessary to oversee much larger projects.
  In addition, one area I am passionate about is self-development and self-improvement in my personal life.
  I am always looking to challenge myself and learn new things. I have acquired excellent communication,
  listening and problem-solving skills which help me in my daily work but also in my personal life in terms
  of confidence, communication, etc. “

• What do I like about tutoring? What makes me a "Superprof"?

  After more than 30 years of tutoring experience in various fields, I drew my philosophy of tutoring, one
  that gives the concept a special meaning with six dimensions:
  a- It is giving. It should be a will before being a career. I do own a very different concept that I cherished
  and became my slogan ever since for all my academic career life and through all the different types
  of businesses that I established. “I am your teacher for Life” is the departing teaching story with all
  my students who, and after 30 years still ask me for an advice, a lesson, a session, a consultation.
  b- Tutoring is a friendship. Unless you have the ability to build tight friendship links with your students,
  you will be considered just as a knowledge reciter. Teaching skills depend enormously on listening to
  students’ questions, paying attention to their real presence in class, adapting to their changing
  moods, following their personal goals, and drawing with them their prosperous future.
  c- Tutoring is a human art. No matter how arid the material you will be giving today, it should be taught
  with a human touch. Students need a humanistic approach for everything they learn. They want to
  feel and see every abstract and this could not be realized unless you sculpt the lesson in real life.
  d- Tutoring is expertise. It is an ongoing process where both knowledge and skills ought to stay together
  all the time to nurture students’ minds and practices and prepare them well for the job they seek.
  Teachers must be well equipped with the “know what, why, and how”. They ought to be well inclined
  to research in their field, pursuing development, and continuously updating their knowledge.
  Teachers must be proficient practitioners of their knowledge in the market field, able to draw a
  complete picture for their students and keep track on their career development to draw from their
  experience for their successors.
  e- Tutoring is creativity. Happiness is not math or physics; neither is it play and music. It is all together!
  Here comes the most delicate role of the teacher: how to create happiness out of everything and
  make students always satisfied and willing to learn more and more? Creativity is essential in the
  teaching process through linking the bits and cells of the body of knowledge differently to come out
  with new ideas. It is like joining the same puzzle pieces and coming always up with awesome pictures.
  This is what we call creative teaching.
  
  f-Tutoring is learning. An intelligent teacher is the one who learns through teaching others. It is a
  dynamic interactive relationship environment that the teacher tries to create with his/her students
  transforming the knowledge coming out to practices flowing in. Teaching must be a continuous action
  research process that helps teachers measure and discover.

• Do I have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.

  Either you choose a great role model that you can learn from and use in making decisions in your life, or
  you make the wrong decision when choosing a role model and end up on the wrong path.
  I don't have a single role model because no one is perfect. But one of them is my dad because he is smart,
  analytical and willing to give everything in the world for the people he loves, especially me and my sister
  and two brothers.
  The other was originally my classmate and then became my mentor. He opened several businesses and
  is ready to help his loved ones. He is straightforward, intelligent and prudent. The downside is that he can
  be very honest and has no problem criticizing others. As a mentor, he gave me his fair share of constructive
  criticism, but some people don't do that well.

• What are my keys to success?

  The spirit for teaching as for leadership, from a personal point of view, is innate. If you are not born a
  teacher, you cannot be the perfect one. I remember my school days when I loved sharing knowledge
  with my schoolmates who became more and more attached to me, and still do after decades. I also
  remember working with my friend on our graduation project at the Faculty of Engineering at Ottawa
  University and providing him with most of the project's theoretical and CAD-based principles and details.
  All of the above conceptual meanings for teaching and many others have accompanied my teaching life
  and in many fields: science, engineering, management, and computing throughout which, I found that the
  the typical student is the one who is always looking for answers to questions specific to his/her own life: past,
  present, and future in order to achieve the main goal, that is, happiness. Students expect us to teach
  them with no retention, to be their friends, not competitors, to teach them life, not books, to make them
  brilliant, creative and self-learners and not reliant on others.
  So, my actual keys to success are my students.
