Skillz Team
Ghassan El Ghoul
SAT Math Trainer
After graduating from Sainte Famille, Fanar, Ecole Française, I obtained my Civil and Environmental Engineering degree from Notre Dame University, Louaize, Lebanon in 2018. I was involved in several engineering projects during my university years (structural, environmental and civil).
After university, I started gaining experience teaching students privately and helping them with their school studies. That evolved when I established my own after school learning center which greatly enriched my experience as an instructor. I am currently working at S&G Engineering where I am head of the design office.
I joined Skillz in 2014, as an SAT Trainer focusing mainly on Science and Math. Since then, I have taught more than 200 SAT Math students.

My name is Ibrahim Nasr. I am a 21-year-old 2nd year engineering student at the Lebanese University – Faculty of Engineering 2.

Karen Abou Moussa
SAT English Trainer
My name is Karen Abou Moussa, and I am a Computer and Communications Engineering senior student at the American University of Beirut. I have been part of the Skillz team for almost two years now as an English SAT teacher, and I have been working as a freelance tutor for more than 4 years, during which time I gained some professional experience in teaching students with ADHD in cooperation with their psychologists.
I have always had a passion for teaching, and I cover a wide spectrum of subjects ranging from English all the way to sciences. I am also an assistant functional training coach and I am very passionate about sports.
Finally, if I could sum up my teaching style, I would describe it as “friendly”, as I enjoy building personal relationships with my students in class to not only create an engaging class atmosphere, but to also help students and better address their needs.
