Well prepared, professional and supportive. Somaia had a number of teaching materials at hand and was patient and encouraging as I struggled through reading and pronouncing a number of Arabic words initially. I am happy with the trial lesson and I am seriously considering taking further lessons from her.

Somaia is the perfect teacher for my style of learning. She is patient and kind and has years of experience teaching Arabic as a professional teacher. I was referred to her through a friend who is a teacher and I am so happy that he shared his insight. She offers structure, additional resources, and familiarity with common sources like Al-Kitaab. I look forward to leaning with Ms. Somaia.

Somaia speaks the right mix of Arabic and English for me as Mid Intermediate student. She can answer my translation questions, but we spoke 95% of the time in Arabic. She accommodated my tie-in's from my self-directed studies, while also providing a structured lesson to support my goals in colloquial dialogue.

If you want to learn something in the Arabic language without stress but with proficiency, ask Somaia.
