Teacher on Spotlight: Tarek Said – Mastering the Art of Storytelling & Winning Pitches

At the Academy of Entrepreneurs, we believe that every great idea deserves a stage — and every changemaker deserves the skills to share it with the world. This week, our students had the incredible opportunity to learn from an industry leader who knows how to turn ideas into powerful stories and winning pitches:

Tarek Said.


A Global Speaker & TED Trainer


Tarek is a world-class pitch mentor, international keynote speaker, and TED trainer — coaching visionaries on how to deliver presentations that inspire and move audiences across the globe. His experience working with founders, startups, and changemakers makes him a go-to expert in storytelling and communication.


With years of experience on global stages — including TED (yes, the big red dot!) — Tarek has empowered thousands of entrepreneurs to speak with confidence, clarity, and unforgettable impact.


What Students Learned


Through an interactive masterclass, Tarek broke down the 3 essential pillars of a powerful pitch:

  • Mindset – Building the confidence to stand on any stage.

  • Storytelling – Crafting a message that connects emotionally and logically.

  • Delivery – Presenting with energy, clarity, and persuasion.


Students didn’t just listen — they practiced, refined, and received real-time feedback to level up their storytelling and pitching skills.



Judging Criteria: Turning Skills into Results


All students will put their new skills to the test using professional pitch judging criteria — from clarity of idea and storytelling to market potential and innovation. This structure helps transform a good idea into a pitch that can win competitions, investors, and partners.


Why It Matters


Pitching isn’t just for competitions. It’s the language of opportunity — whether you’re presenting a business idea, leading a team, or sharing a vision with the world. Learning from top global speakers like Tarek prepares our students to speak with confidence and inspire action on any stage.


Thank you, Tarek, for empowering the next generation of changemakers to pitch with power and purpose.
