ABOUT ME
My name is Abdulrahman /ʕbda’rʌħman/, and I am an EFL instructor at King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS). I earned a bachelor's degree in English literature, linguistics, and translation and am currently pursuing a master's degree in applied linguistics.
My five years of experience in teaching English as a foreign language have been primarily devoted to academic writing and L2 reading for beginning, intermediate, and advanced-level learners.
”You are a good teacher and a good mentor. You inspired me to think about my writing several times and I enjoyed writing after getting your feedback. I will be grateful to you throughout my life because you taught me to write something. I have learned to express my thoughts in a structured way.”

”He made reading classes fun and easy to understand. Before this class, I struggled with reading complex texts in English, but his patience helped me improve. He always gave me extra help when I needed it.”
- Student C
”Mr. Almalki always gave me feedback that helped me improve my writing. He took the time to help me see my strengths and weaknesses, and this made a big difference in my academic progress.”
