I am a Lebanese polyglot and holder of bachelor degree in translation, a Master's degree in conference interpretation and a teaching diploma. I am passionate about languages, nature, travelling and discovering other cultures and foods!
Me as a Teacher
After working for over a decade as a teacher, I founded an institute of Arabic for non-native speakers in Beirut in 2012. I have developed my own Arabic curriculum which consists of 7 books for all levels starting from beginners and up to the advanced level. Over these years, I have taught diplomats and INGO workers in both MSA and Lebanese Arabic.
My lessons & teaching style
In my classes I try to cover all the skills needed in a language: reading, writing, speaking and listening. However, my biggest focus is always on speaking as this is the most rewarding part of learning a new language. As language cannot be separated from culture, Arabic songs and proverbs are one of my favorite teaching tools.

Nadine is a fantastic teacher. Pushes you to use the language in class but also is flexible enough to adapt the lessons to your conversational needs. Highly recommend. She should charge more because she greater value than professors who charge double or triple

Nadine is the best Arabic teacher I've ever had. I have been taking classes with her for several years now, both in person and online. She encouraged me to speak from the beginning and she made it so easy to learn Arabic. She is very prepared and organized. She knows the language and the grammar (both MSA and Levantine Arabic) extremely well and the fact that she speaks several other languages helps a lot because she understands where the difficulties are for her students. I am extremely lucky to have her as my teacher.

Nadine is a very good and very kind teacher. The lessons are well organized in topics, allowing to learn new vocabulary/grammar and rapidly use them in sentences and dialogs. In few lessons I have already progressed a lot. Many thanks Nadine!

My lesson with Nadine was productive and enjoyable. She took great care to understand my needs before the lesson began and provided detailed feedback during the session. I found her to be attentive, supportive, and kind. I will surely schedule more sessions with her to help me prepare for an upcoming exam.
