Atef Rostom

Atef is a fantastic teacher for all age groups and has been my 7 year old son’s teacher for some time. Atef’s knowledge base, fluency, and approach to teaching allows young students, of all ages,to feel comfortable and at ease. He often employs games and focuses on the students’ interests to aid in building rapport while integrating language learning within the games and general discussions. He excels in making the classes both enjoyable and appealing and will often switch approaches within a session to further individualize the lesson to the student, help maintain energy/interest, and challenge the student in a playful and positive manner. Atef is patient, kind, timely and always provides feedback positively. It’s quite apparent that he takes the child’s age and developmental level into consideration during the classes, which makes the lessons that much more effective and enjoyable.

Today's lesson was very challenging. Atef was extremely patient in explaining difficult words and complex phrases. His way of teaching is very professional and helpful. If you are studying arabic alone and you are looking for someone to corrrect your mistakes and take your arabic to the next level, then i definitely recommend Atef!

Atef is an excellent tutor. I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to learn Egyptian Arabic

Mr. Rostom is patient, knowledgeable, and (unbelievably) even makes me audio flashcards. Without doubt the best lesson experience I've had on italki in any language.

I highly recommend Atef for anyone learning Egyptian Arabic. He adapts lessons perfectly to my goals and learning pace, making the process both efficient and enjoyable. He is also very encouraging, which keeps me motivated to improve. The lessons are engaging and his explanations very clear. A fantastic teacher!

Atef is an excellent teacher! very kind and patient
