Soheil

Soheil and I just finished the last lesson in his Intermediate Arabic course! I learned many different structures, but it never felt like I was studying a lot of grammar. Soheil really knows how to present everything in such a way that you do learn something new and useful but don't have to spend hours trying to figure out how a certain bit of grammar works. He has plenty of exercises to help practice the new info and never gets impatient when it takes me a while to come up with the answers. I always have a lot of fun learning Arabic with this guy :D

I just finished my 11th lesson with Soheil and I can confidently say that he is the most prepared and supportive teacher that I have ever met on iTalki or similar websites. He adapts super well to what I need to focus on that day, be it grammar or vocab or just reading. Added to the fact that he is legitimately funny (don't get too large of a head though, Soheil) the lessons are always amusing. If you're looking for a teacher, go no further!

I'm enjoying my lessons with Soheil. He asks great questions about everyday topics that you would most likely encounter when speaking with a native speaker, so I'm getting a lot of verbs and vocab that I otherwise might not. Many of those topics are glossed over when you learn a language in school, leaving you knowing parts of the language but still not able to hold a basic conversation. I have confidence that, with time, I'll be able to hold a conversation with the average person in Arabic. I understand that dialect is a big variable in Arabic, in particular, but I have confidence he can teach anyone how to communicate in an Arab nation especially when the speaker can drop into MSA. Soheil is very patient and seems happy to repeat things when I'm not understanding.

Excellent lesson! Wonderfully well-structured, which allows me to repeat new vocab over and over until it sticks in my memory. And it's great that you produce texts that contain things we did in the past - good revision. And it forces me to devote time to doing some homework, if I don't want to look silly! Thanks a lot. See you soon!

Another great chat today, about travelling, work, and life. Always a well-spent time and lots of tangible language learning. Thanks, Soheil.

A great second session with Soheil. We clarified some things about how my learning will progress and he helped me get through some difficult things to say for a simple beginner like me. He's very patient.
