About Ali S
Stop writing like a student and start writing like a scholar.
As a former Humanities Instructor at the American University of Beirut (AUB), I didn’t just grade papers—I designed the syllabus. I know exactly why capable students get B's instead of A's: it’s rarely about "grammar," and almost always about argumentation, evidence, and structure.
I don't offer generic English lessons. I offer targeted academic mentorship in:
Political Studies: From Machiavelli to Modern International Relations theory.
Classic Humanities: Analyzing Ancient and Medieval literature (Gilgamesh, Homer, Dante) without getting lost in the archaic language.
Research Methodology: How to formulate a thesis, conduct genuine research (including ethical AI use), and defend your argument.
In addition to being a published writer myself, I possess the rare combination of being a Native American English speaker who is also a native Arabic speaker. I know the specific rhetorical traps Arabic speakers fall into when writing in Western academic styles.

We Work on Two Levels: Depending on your needs, our sessions will focus on: 1. The "Decoder" (Politics & Philosophy): We take dense texts (Plato, Foucault, IR Theory, etc.) and translate them into plain English. I help you find the "hidden conversation" so you actually understand what you are reading. 2. The "Architect" (Academic Writing): We take your scattered ideas and build a university-level essay structure. We fix your thesis statements, refine your topic sentences, and elevate your academic tone.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
While working on a book project, Ali was recommended to me by one of his own profs as someone who I should contact for a contribution. Since then, I have worked with Ali on a variety of academic projects, in which he has showed brilliance in his analysis as well as dedicated to the craft of teaching. Patient with others, Ali is a masterful pedagogue. He takes the time to explain his subject matters in ways that make it understandable to those struggle with the material and/or who are new to the subject matter. While working on academic projects, he has shown himself to be very reliable, affable, and honest. I highly recommend Ali for Superprof. He will be a great asset to your tutoring programs.
He was my professor at AUB. He is the best.
Very professional, very enthusiastic, knows what he is doing. Understanding a lot, just the best teacher.
I appreciate him a lot.See more recommendations
