I used to teach English 5 years ago,
now I have been teaching Arabic for non native speakers of Arabic, for 9 years. My students are from many countries:
England, Italy, America, India, Pakistan, Kanada, Australia, Turkey, Japan, Korea, and Saudi Arabia.
* I am teaching Arabic for kids and adults.
* I am teaching standard Arabic and colloquial Egyptian dialect.
* And I teach Qur'anic Arabic.
I am using many course books depending on the students' needs and level, such as:
* Al-Arabiyatu bayna Yadayk
* Al Kitab (1, 2, 3)
* Al Madina series
* Gateway to Arabic
Besides the material I prepare and design by myself to improve my students' skills.
Also, I work as a translator, from English to Arabic and vice versa.
I also have experience in Photoshop and making powerpoint presentations for teaching purposes.
Teaching Approach
My program is totally customized to the student's necessities. Some would rather focus on learning the language in real life situations, others would rather study grammar and understand each idiomatic structure.
Each student has a specific reason to learn a language: whether it is for business, a vacation, or just for fun.
My goal is to respect each student's necessities and respond in providing them with the tools that better satisfy their needs.
