PhD in Comparative Religion
I have spent twenty years studying religion, and during that time, I have seen how knowledge can have a powerful impact on people's lives. I have worked in different places, like small villages where I learned about the local religious practices, and also in university departments where we discussed worldwide religious events. I have learned a lot about different religions, their practices, beliefs, and how they affect communities through my research projects. I have taken breaks from my regular life to live in religious communities. I did this to learn about their daily practices and beliefs. I share real-life experiences with my students to give them practical knowledge along with theoretical concepts.
Teaching religious studies is not just about religious texts and rituals. It is about understanding what it means to be human. I focus on making a safe place for students to discuss and question religious beliefs. I use videos and multimedia presentations to help students understand what they are learning. I want to teach them to understand and value the different religious beliefs in the world.
Mr. Youssef has this way of making religious studies interesting. I never knew there were so many connections between different religions. He uses maps and pictures, and sometimes even different books to help us understand. What stands out the most is his patience. Even if someone asks a question that might seem simple, he takes the time to answer it thoroughly. He also brings in stories from his own experiences, which helps us see the real-world application of what we're learning.
Since my son started attending Mr. Youssef's class, our dinner conversations have changed. He's always sharing a new fact or story.

I've spent close to two decades understanding the teachings, histories, and interconnections of the world's major religions. My foundation in Islamic studies was strengthened by my research into its diverse interpretations and sects. Over time, I expanded my knowledge base, exploring Christianity, Buddhism, and other global faiths. I've facilitated interfaith workshops and dialogue sessions, promoting mutual respect and understanding among diverse communities. My varied exposure, from academic seminars to grassroots initiatives, has broadened the scope of my teaching, enriching my lessons with varied perspectives and experiences. Students have often remarked on the practical insights and real-world context I introduce, helping them relate to and deeply understand the teachings.
Religions offer insights into cultures, societies, and histories. I aim to present these insights in a manner that's engaging and relatable. My sessions are more than just lectures; they're platforms for students to question, challenge, and explore. I use multimedia presentations, debates, and collaborative projects to ensure an interactive learning environment. I also emphasize the shared values across religions, creating a spirit of unity and understanding.
Mr. Rashid's class is always something I look forward to. We talk about beliefs from all around the world. Sometimes, he shows us slides with photos of places and people. It helps me picture everything. Even though it's A-level, he explains things so everyone can get it.
My daughter is in Mr. Rashid's A-level class. She often shares with me what she learns. She sounds so interested! I'm happy about that. Though I think some homework to practice would be good.
Master's in Theology and Religious Studies
In the last 14 years, I have studied different religions in various places around the world. I have talked to religious leaders, looked at old records, and organized events where people from different religions come together to learn. I have learned a lot about different religions, which has given me a well-rounded understanding. Attending international conferences has helped me understand the importance and details of religious practices worldwide. I use my knowledge to help students understand how different religions are connected.
In a world where different religions often come together, it's important to approach the study of religion with an open and accepting attitude. I want to make sure that all students in my classroom feel comfortable and confident to express their thoughts and ask questions. My lessons are made to be engaging, combining old texts with modern explanations. I use examples from real life, have discussions, and debates to make learning interesting and meaningful. I want to help students become global citizens and appreciate the beauty in all belief systems.
Mr. Saeed really knows his stuff. I used to find religious studies a bit confusing, but he breaks everything down so it's easier to grasp. I especially like the stories he shares from different faiths; they're always so eye-opening.
Every evening, my daughter has something new to share from Mr. Saeed's lessons. She's becoming more aware of different religious practices and beliefs. I just hope he'd provide more handouts or summaries for her to revise.
Master's in Religious Studies
I started studying religion in college because I was fascinated by the deep and wise teachings in different religious books. In the last 11 years, I have focused on learning and teaching about the beliefs, practices, and rituals of various religions. I've been lucky to work with smart people from different countries, talk about different religions, and find out what we all have in common. During my time as a teacher, I have focused on creating a respectful and open-minded atmosphere. I have had different experiences in religious centers and classrooms, which have influenced how I teach in unique ways.
Religion is an important part of human society, affecting culture, politics, and personal beliefs. In my classes, I try to show how each topic is important in today's world. I use storytelling, discussions, and hands-on activities to get students involved. I want to spark curiosity and help people understand things better, not just share facts. I encourage students to talk openly and share their thoughts so they can understand each lesson better.
Ms. Reem is a good teacher. We learn about different cultures and their beliefs. She uses videos and books sometimes, which helps make the lesson fun. I always look forward to her class.
My son is always eager to discuss what he learned from Ms. Al-Khouri. He's more curious about the world now. I just wish she'd give more notes so he can review later.
I am glad I booked my sessions with Anas. He is the most competent, passionate and supportive Math teacher, and helped me reach my potential. My knowledge and grades impressively improved. Great tutor! I would recommend him to everyone looking for a math online tutor.

Maryam was always on time, and her teaching skills were just what I needed to crack my exams. She never ended the class with an unsolved query, which makes her a great tutor. I want every struggling student to join her. She is great support.
