Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile.

I am Yasmina Hefzy, I am an Egyptian and I love teaching Arabic, because I like to share my enthusiasm about language learning with my students. Sign up for a lesson and we can talk about what you would like to learn in Arabic and how you can reach your goals.

I learn things every day from my students and surroundings. I have 9 years' teaching experience at all levels. I offer productive and enjoyable classes online and at schools and businesses.

I like cooking, hanging out with my friends, reading, travelling, walking: most of all I am very social.

My Approach during classes is to have the best interaction between me and my student and give them the information that they are looking for in a very simple, cheerful, and effective way.

Being social with my students is very vital during classes because it breaks the ice between the student and the teacher. I also like to start by building a rapport between me and my students. Using different methods to deliver the information is essential in my teaching methods. Each skill that we will work on requires a different method. Methods I use in class include Lecture - Discussion and Conversation - Active interaction.
