Combine the everyday talking to the classic speaking. Arabic made easy with Laila!

I am fluent in Arabic. I came up with a way to teach Arabic for children and adults combining everyday language with the classic Arabic that most children find difficult. I am familiar with the different Arabic regions dialects and can determine how to start the learning process depending on the students interests and needs to learn this language. Children and adults will also learn how to speak, read and write . Our sessions will be customized depending on the students goals. The session will include conversations on common topics, reading, writing, understanding the culture and much more . In addition, different educational resources such as apps, videos, books, etc will be included to make the learning journey of the language more fun. I traveled and lived in several countries and very familiar with the traditions and the heritage. Sessions will be personalized depending on each individual's interest. I can also teach the different Arabic dialects and I can teach the Middle Eastern cuisine. The Arabic culture is very rich and my online sessions will be a one of a kind experience.

About Laila B.

4.9

(38)

My name is Laila. I am a mother of four children. I've been a reading therapist for more than 12 years. I am an owner of a reading clinic that offers help to people of any age or ability struggling with literacy. My passion and mission is to help struggling readers become fluent readers while enjoying the journey of learning how to decode the English language. I'm bilingual English/Arabic, and I came up with an interesting way of teaching the language through fun activities, conversations, books, podcasts, apps and much more. Learning Arabic will not be boring, but rather fun and easy. I have helped both adults and children become passionate about the language and the culture, as well as learn how to read and decode the language easily.

Laila is so incredibly sweet and kind. My daughter (13) was interested in learning conversational Egyptian Arabic. I was very impressed with Laila's suggested materials, and she even sent her a welcome package with handmade educational materials as well as school supplies..! Was really above and beyond all my expectations! You can tell Laila really is dedicated to making learning fun, and she is incredibly patient and kind as a teacher. I have been recommending Laila to all of my mom friends for their kids as well. Even though Laila herself is from Libya, she is very knowledgeable in Egyptian dialect and slang, making it very useful for my daughter whose main interest is to learn to speak with her Egyptian relatives. Highly highly recommend!

Laila is an OUTSTANDING teacher. She adapts very well to a student’s goals and pace and her insights make perfect sense and are easy to understand. She’s very knowledgeable of regional dialects and customs and includes cultural explanations to break up monotony and prevent student burnout, while adding additional value. Laila makes herself available in between lessons to answer questions and offer additional explanations. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone who wants the highest quality instruction at a flexible pace.

Leila is such an amazing teacher, but more importantly she’s an amazing person. When you’re signing up for her classes you are signing up for far more than you expect or pay for- she is endlessly generous with her time and energy and so incredibly caring. She filled our lessons with stories about the culture and history of the middle east - alongside grammar and vocabulary, of course. She is very patient and doesn’t make you feel judged or rushed, she is just there to help you learn in whatever way you want. I highly highly recommend her as a tutor, and I am so grateful to have gotten to work with her. She’s the best <3
