If your child can use some extra support with, for example, counting, (reading) reading or writing, I would like to offer my help.

I have been giving tutoring to children of different ages for a few years now. I also have a lot of experience as a babysitter and as an au pair, so I'm used to working with children and helping them get ahead and helping them see how much they can actually do!

At the moment, I only have time available on weekdays in the morning or early afternoon, for which I have lowered the rate.

We learn the foundation from the books "Nur al-Bayan" and "Futuh al-Rahman," and apply it through educational electronic games, the "A B T" website, and reading stories.

Arabic becomes much easier when speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary are developed as connected skills rather than taught as isolated rules.

I am a native Arabic speaker, PhD-qualified engineer, university professor, researcher, and multidisciplinary tutor with more than 30 years of experience in teaching, training, mentoring, academic work, and personalized learning.

This class is designed for children, teenagers, university students, professionals, heritage learners, and adult learners who want to build a clear and confident command of Arabic. Lessons can be taught in Arabic, English, or French, allowing explanations to be adapted to the learner’s linguistic background and level.

Depending on your objectives, we can focus on one specific pathway or combine several skills into a structured learning program.

• Personalized progression for learners raised outside the Arab world

My teaching approach follows a clear progression:
understand → hear → pronounce → read → use → write → analyze → communicate independently

I do not teach Arabic as a disconnected collection of vocabulary lists and grammar rules. I connect language structure to meaningful texts, conversation, writing, and real communication. Depending on the learner’s age and level, lessons may include guided dialogues, fully vocalized texts, visual explanations, reading passages, grammar analysis, structured exercises, dictation, storytelling, writing tasks, and personalized practice.

We can work with your school curriculum, university course, textbook, reading difficulties, grammar questions, writing samples, professional objectives, heritage-language needs, or personal learning goals.

Whether you are learning your first Arabic letters, improving conversation, strengthening reading, mastering grammar, developing academic writing, or reconnecting with Arabic as a heritage language, I will adapt the sessions to your level, objectives, pace, and preferred learning style.

My goal is to help you understand Arabic as a living, structured, and expressive language—and to use it with increasing accuracy, confidence, and independence.

My 1-1 tutoring sessions are flexible. I typically design a curriculum tailored to the student, aligned to Common Core Standards. However, if you have homework you need help with, or a test coming up you need to prepare for, I am happy to help with that too! I am particularly happy to help you with writing. I have coached students in essay writing, creative writing, and speech writing for contests, resulting in two shortlisted finalists, one second-place winner, and one first-place winner among over 200 entrants!

I have extensive experience helping students improve their reading and writing skills with great success. This includes writing structure and content development, grammar, punctuation, spelling, phonics, reading comprehension, literary analysis, and more. Whatever your ELA or ESL needs are, I can help you meet your goals.
