Hala Alzeat

I have had the pleasure of being tutored by Hala in Arabic, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Hala is not only incredibly kind and patient but also exceedingly knowledgeable in her field. Her dedication and guidance have been instrumental in my Arabic language learning journey. What sets Hala apart is her ability to create a comfortable and supportive learning environment. She goes above and beyond to ensure that her students understand the material thoroughly, patiently addressing any questions or concerns that arise along the way. Her warmth and genuine care for her students extend beyond the classroom, fostering a connection that goes beyond language learning. If you're seeking a tutor who is not only proficient in Arabic but also cares deeply about your progress and well-being, Hala is the perfect choice. I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her and count her as both a teacher and a friend.

I heard a metaphor recently that drew a comparison between learning languages and swimming in the ocean - no matter how confident you are in your swimming ability, your energy is finite, and you will eventually grow fatigued from the effort. Meanwhile, the ocean is infinite in its width and depth. To survive, you need to find "islands" to rest upon - "islands" of core vocabulary and common expressions. Hala has been an outstanding "swim" instructor, building my confidence in braving the waves to get to the next "island". Here's to conquering the sea, or at least, our fear of it!

I have studying Arabic for close to 7 years, and I have been taught by a variety of teachers and tutors in every setting imaginable, and I have to say Hala is my favorite. She is patient as she helps me with my pronunciation errors or particularly hard words. She also provides a wealth of audio recordings and stories that I can use outside of class for listening- which is often the hardest skill to master. You can tell Hala is the type of person who loves what she does, and also loves being great at it. Since I am taking advanced Arabic- lessons become discussions about life itself. There is never a shortage of topics to discuss, and the conversation flows easily. For beginners, I imagine this comfortable environment she fosters to be a great benefit- we are all scared in the beginning. Encouragement and kindness paired with consistent correction make for a great teacher. I highly recommend anyone with a desire to learn Arabic and the passion for learning to take lessons with Hala.

I'm so happy to start learning Arabic with Hala again! She is the best in teaching so I always save some money and time to take lessons from her! :)

Without her guidance it is impossible to find the right help to progress in Syrian Arabic.

shes great and so helpful
