You don't say what he's going to teach you but if it's English (especially spoken English), please please say no! I didn't even work out he was speaking English until about the eighth word. Even then, I understood less than half of it.

I had to send it to myself (Messenger). Some of the words sounded slightly familiar, but that was it.

I just translated it directly from Arabic into English. I also found it here;

Yes , he was about to teach me a conversation course.
But I changed my mind after I read your words.

I suppose it's possible, but I had never heard of it before. I would say the person is teaching a class in math, physics, economics or whatever.

I'm sure you made the right decision. It's unlikely he would be able to teach you how to do it better than he can.

Maybe he understands spoken English. That I do not know.

You've made the right decision. I don't even think the quality of the recording was the issue. He was mostly unintelligible.

Avoid him as a teacher. He has zero grasp of English language inflection, stress, pitch, or stress. Granted, he was reading from what sounded like a news article, but I have no confidence his naturally generated English is any better.

You'd do as well to learn from the screaming child in the background. That alone speaks to the level of professionalism, if he can't even muster a quiet space for a 20 second sound clip.

He literally said "confected of a crime".

Unfortunately, I couldn't understand it that well.

Apparently he meant "convicted".

Yes, I know. I meant I couldn't make it out well enough to notice what words were mispronounced
