About Raja
I am Raja Sebraoui, and this will mark my fourteenth year as an English as a Second Language teacher, and my thirteenth year at Pioneer Elementary School in Arizona.
I have two sons Zein and Mahdi. Outside of school, I enjoy the beach, walking on the sand and feeling the waves on my feet. I also enjoy walking in nature, and spending moments with my friends and family.
I grew up in Sweden, and I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in education from the University of Gothenburg. I got married in 2002, and moved to Arizona with my husband 23 years ago. I completed my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction at Arizona State University in 2008.
I enjoy working with my students and learning about the different cultures they come from. My goal is to be the supporter for them and to lead them both linguistically and culturally to be successful in the future as lifelong learners.

Experienced ESL Specialist | Interactive, Strategy-Based English Tuition
Hi! I’m a dual-certified English specialist with 13 years of full-time classroom experience in Arizona schools. Whether you need support with school assignments, academic writing, or everyday conversation, I use research-backed strategies to make learning English clear, manageable, and highly effective.
Why Learn With Me?
Dual Certification & Advanced Degrees: Certified teacher in both Sweden and the USA. I hold a B.A. in Education (University of Gothenburg) and an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction (Arizona State University).
Targeted Skill Building: Balanced focus on reading, writing, listening, speaking, and grammar—with a massive emphasis on vocabulary acquisition.
Collaborative & Adaptable: We design our path together, aligning lessons with your personal goals, interests, and motivation—using multimedia, digital tools, music, and interactive presentations.
Signature Teaching Strategies I Use
I don't just teach English; I teach you how to understand and use it using proven ESL techniques:
Syntax Surgery: We visually disassemble complex sentences piece-by-piece and rearrange them. This makes complicated grammar and sentence structures easy to understand and replicate in your own writing.
Reciprocal Teaching/Reading: A powerful technique where we share the role of reader and teacher. Together, we predict, clarify, question, and summarize texts to dramatically boost reading comprehension and critical thinking.
"Tap-to-Talk" & Interactive Vocabulary: High-engagement visual and physical strategies designed to lock new vocabulary into long-term memory and turn passive words into active, natural speech.
Real-World Application: Bridge the gap between formal academic English (for school/work) and everyday conversational fluency.
Who I Work With
Primary & Secondary Students: Homework help, essay structure, reading confidence, and school test preparation.
Adult Learners & Professionals: Master formal writing, refine pronunciation, expand domain-specific vocabulary, and speak naturally in social settings.
I’ve guided students of all ages toward remarkable progress in English—let’s tailor a plan to help you reach your goals next!
