As many of you know, I am really involved in several activities in Egypt because of my love for this country and its people. One of my projects is an English and German Language Center called Rise Up with my two partners Ahmed Muhamed and Ehab Mohamed. These two young men were my former students when I taught in Cairo in 2011 and 2012. We became close friends. When I returned home, we decided to open a center together because of our shared love for education and the English and German languages. Thus, Rise Up became our reality. 
Our motto happens to be my life philosophy copyrighted in my book Because I Believed in Me (My Egyptian Fantasy Came True). “Don’t dream big! Dream bigger! The sky is the limit so reach for the stars!” We at Rise Up truly believe you can do anything if you work hard enough. Dreams can come true!
The aim of Rise Up is to provide an environment in which students can learn both English and German with native speakers. Vocabulary building and grammar skills are highly emphasized as well as much needed practice in becoming proficient in listening, formal and conversational speaking, and writing. Many courses are offered from elementary to intermediate to advanced levels. In addition to a booklet created by Rise Up, a variety of interesting and fun activities will be utilized in this learning process, such as small and large group chats, role playing activities, projects, viewing of films for group discussions, games related to the language, etc. 
If you want to reach for the sky and become the star you want to be, Rise Up can help you. If you dream of being truly multi-lingual, consider Rise Up as one way to become this. If you want to travel around the world, Rise Up can help you to begin to achieve the educational success to become financially successful in the international market one day and get that dream job. Our goal is also to be the passage for youth to help them to speak languages with no fear in public so they can be competent and successful in any job interview. We BELIEVE that we can do this!
Right now Rise Up is offering special discounts to all students for the English and German courses which will start soon. Both intermediate and advanced classes with native speakers are available. How to pass a job interview successfully will be highlighted. If interested, fill in the application below to register as places are limited. An email will be sent to you for an appointment for the Placement Test required.

“Rise up and smile!
Dream and believe!!
The sky is the limit!!”
These are words you should live your life by
Ideas that can change your life forever
A perfect way to help you be able to fly
Without any sad moments of regret ever.
In order to achieve you must also dream
And then work so very hard to achieve.
Of course it is not as easy as it may seem.
But it can be done if you truly believe.
So prepare yourself and do your absolute best
For your promising future is just ahead of you
When you reach your success, then sit back and rest
And marvel at all of the amazing things you were able to do.
