WHY I TEACH

English opens doors.

Mousa Salem · 33 · Jerusalem

I started teaching in 2016. From my very first class, I noticed something: many students weren’t bad at English. They simply hadn’t had it explained in a way that made sense to them.

In 2017, I launched M.S English on YouTube so students could revisit a lesson whenever they needed it. Today, the channel has 155,000 subscribers and more than 1.5 million views.

In 2019, my partner Ali Sweilem and I founded M.S Academy in Jerusalem. I built its website and learning platform myself using WordPress. Today, our team of 13 teachers and staff shares one belief: understanding comes first, and practice makes the difference.

Beyond the classroom, I believe education should help people build a life, not just learn a language. That’s why I’ve started sharing ideas on personal development, money and entrepreneurship—especially ways young people in Jerusalem can manage their finances and shape their future.

2016 — 2026
