Every new lesson with Prof Faiza solidifies my belief that she is a very gifted teacher. I am taking both Arabic and French with her, and my skill level in those respective languages is quite different, yet she seamlessly switches to match me where I'm at, while at the same time encouraging me to challenge myself. I get very anxious when I don't know the answer to something, or don't know how to do something, and get very flustered and ridiculous, and Prof Faiza is SO patient with my silliness. I am learning to be okay with not being perfect, which has been a barrier for me in terms of learning not only languages, but new skills in general. I am growing increasingly comfortable with her, and I leave each lesson with a tangible feeling of having learned something new. The results are surprisingly immediate. I've been studying languages for years alone. A few months with Prof Faiza has already proven to be more useful. I am very lucky to have picked her out of all the teachers here!
