A great atmosphere for learning

I very much recommend studying with Professor Saeed Alwakil. I enjoyed a 3 month course and always experienced him as very well prepared and good at finding a balance between asking relevant questions, listening and sharing own knowledge on the Arabic language and culture. I always experienced our sessions as very safe and informal creating a great atmosphere and making the education itself natural and easy. I’m sure, what ever level of Arabic you are on, a course with Professor Saeed will help you improve your skills whilst being a fun and giving experience!

Heba is an amazing Arabic teacher for any level. She’s been teaching me since 2019, when I used to have in-person lessons with her in Cairo. Since then, I’ve been doing weekly online classes with her. And there’s a reason I call her Al-Malika! She tailors our classes to my interests and ambitions when it comes to Arabic-learning and gives me a great balance between ECA and MSA. I’m especially appreciate of her deep knowledge of grammar and ability to explain it clearly – even when it seems to make no sense! I could not recommend her highly enough!

Mr.

I had a great learning experience with Yvonne. I was able to bring my Arabic skills to the next level and got so much out of each lesson!

Not just about language

First of all I would like to thank the organizer of the courses, Heba W. Moussad, for her professionalism and attentiveness as well as proactive spirit, always looking for a tailor-made solution for the students. I also have a special thanks to Abeer Ghaieth, proficiency Exam Tester, for her ability to make yourself feel at ease during the assessment process, and for her warmth and friendliness. I highly recommend to take such an exam with her, especially for Mrs. Abeer helpful feedback and guidance. Thanks to her you will immediately know what are your strengths and where you need to focus to improve your level. Last but not least, I want to inform you about my instructor, Mr. Yahia Harty, with whom I am being learning ECA for almost two months. Yahia is a very skilled, knowledgeable and open minded person that impressed me for his accuracy and his nice demeanor. Yahia is one of these rare teachers nowadays that has a serious intent to explain to the other person. This requires a certain level of emotional intelligence and enthusiasm for the teaching process as well as subtle respect for the learner. Bravo Alaik!

Heba has been my teacher since October 2021. She was also one of my Arabic teachers back in 2016 when I was in Egypt as part of my study abroad programme. Heba is a very patient teacher who accommodates everybody’s learning needs. Heba responded positively when I told her that I am autistic. My information processing tends to be slow, but Heba gives me all the time I need. Heba is a fantastic teacher who has given back my confidence. Her way of teaching has led to improvement in my Arabic writing, speaking and reading skills. Thanks to Heba I feel more confident reading an Arabic newspaper and discussing more complex issues. I can really recommend Heba as she brings out the best in every student. She will always be there to help you when you are struggling and will motivate you to keep going. Despite being autistic it is still possible to learn a difficult language like Arabic. I am truly thankful for Heba’s support, time and understanding. She is definitely open-minded and understanding towards people with a disability. Communication with Heba through WhatsApp and email is always good. She responds very quickly to my emails and WhatsApp messages. The communication with the administration team is also very good. They are quick with emailing the invoice and sending a confirmation once the invoice has been paid. The administration team is always very helpful if there is an issue.

a Foreign Language (TAFL) who are all International House trained to teach both Spoken and Modern Standard Arabic, using the most communicative teaching methodology. I sent my students to this consortium of teachers for several years whilst at the University of Edinburgh as well as students from previous institutions in the UK where I have taught Arabic. I have always had wonderful feedback from our students. The teachers are incredibly responsive and flexible to their individual needs whether it be Media Arabic, Egyptian Colloquial, Arabic literature, and many other aspects. In terms of pastoral care, they are wonderful. This consortium of Arabic teachers is unique in terms of its body of knowledge and expertise in delivering high-quality Arabic tuition at all levels to both groups and individuals alike using the most modern technology and innovative teaching pedagogy. I have attended many of their classes and I have been very impressed with the way they teach all aspects of Arabic to non-native speakers at all levels. It is all about communication and this is where Arabic Tutor Online excels. They are also very well versed in communicative teacher training and quality control, and this really sets them apart. It has been a pleasure partnering with Arabic Tutor Online and looks forward to continued co-operation in the future and I highly recommend them.”
