My session with Ustaza Samia is always a highlight of my week. She puts such care into planning and delivering her lessons! It is both an honor and a pleasure to be her student.

Thank you so much Samia, you really are a wonderful teacher to work with and I fee so blessed to know you and it is a privilege and honour to learn with you.
Thanks for your patience - We went through a clip regarding regarding contemporary issues in society in Educated Egyptian with street expressions as well as various idioms. In kalimny Arabi we went through the verb ba2ali , ba2alo etc and how to use this verb.
Thank you Samia, you are amazing! :)

Dr. Samia, is a wonderful tutor with deep knowledge of Arabic language and culture! She has a very personalized approach, matching content and conversation based on the student's interests. I have learned so much already and regained confidence as I practice with her and dust off the Arabic I learned many years ago. She is kind and understanding, and I plan to continue learning with her! I highly recommend her.

Samia was helpful in verbal dialogue and reading through the book with and listening practice as well as reading a dialogue about a family ordering food at a restaurant. It is so nice when Samia recognizes the areas I need to focus on and the certain sentence structures and words I still need to memorize. She is highly encouraging me to continue as often as I can with the lessons since she notices that I do better with many lessons in a row. I am so excited that I will be taking her advice and booking more sessions.

Samia was very helpful in guiding me through the dialogue we had in Arabic about suggestions and things we both like and would like to do. We also came up with a future plan for lessons and certain topics we will return back to so that I can learn them better. I am excited to continue our lessons.
