Nouhaila El Guebli, a 29-year-old teacher based in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, has built an audience of millions across the Netherlands and abroad through her online videos. Known widely as the TikTok teacher, she combines entertainment with advice aimed at helping young people navigate their futures.
In Nieuw-West, El Guebli teaches classrooms where many pupils come from different cultural backgrounds. She focuses on supporting vulnerable students and creating opportunities for them, drawing on both classroom experience and low points from her own family life.
Reaching beyond the classroom
Working with vulnerable youth brings difficult moments, including pupils who have ended up on the wrong track. Despite those challenges, El Guebli maintains an approach centered on positive encouragement.
Alongside her teaching and online videos, she now plans to take her message directly to Dutch theatres to discuss resilience and opportunity in the education system.
