Tutoring Approach

I teach Modern Standard Arabic based on the "Mastering Arabic" Series which is one of the most famous books used in different universities and institutions. This series starts at beginners to intermediate level students with little or no previous knowledge of the language and who want to understand, read, write and speak Arabic confidently, and then moves on to a more advanced level of studying with some fascinating cultural insights. If you are already familiar with the principals of Modern Standard Arabic and want to learn the Egyptian Dialect of Spoken Arabic which is the most frequently studied and most widely understood in the Arab world, I can certainly do that based on the “Kallimni Arabi (colloquial Egyptian)” series of books. I tend to use different learning materials and a variety of technique to make my lessons interesting and engaging. I customize my teaching approach based on my student’s background, their aims and their needs. I believe that the enjoyment of these lessons is not only about the reward you get when you learn a new language but also the experience and the understanding that you will acquire when you learn the culture, the customs and the traditions of the Arab world. For siblings/multiple students, the lesson charge will be the standard hourly rate shown on the website +£6 on top per extra student to cover the additional preparation time.

I started learning Arabic from Sohir a little while ago. She is extremely patient and able to break things down into easy to absorb, bite sized pieces of information. She not only provides incredible insights into the use of the Arabic language but also the Arab cultures as well. I look forward to progressing my skills in both the Arabic language and improve my knowledge of the Arab culture.

RaymondFirst Tutors

It is very refreshing to find a tutor that is not only local but is flexible and quite prepared to meet my needs. I am very much looking forward to learning what is, under the surface, a very complex language structure of tenses, verbs, voweling rules and transliteration to get used to. I am confident that with her experience and guidance I will achieve my aims and goals with Arabic language despite مافي مخ
