Nessma Hassan

Today, I had my first Arabic lesson with Nessma on italki, and I am thoroughly impressed. Nessma demonstrated outstanding teaching skills and a deep understanding of both the language and the learning process. Her approach to teaching is both engaging and effective. She tailored the lesson to suit my beginner level, ensuring that the pace was comfortable yet challenging enough to keep me motivated. Nessma’s explanations were clear and concise, making complex concepts easy to grasp. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Arabic.

I took about 10 Arabic lessons with Nessma before going on vacation to Egypt. Nessma is an amazing teacher! She is kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and really goes above and beyond for her students. She customized the lessons to exactly what I needed to know for my trip. I would recommend her to anyone. 'Alfi shukr Nessma!

Nessma is a brilliant, engaging, well-organised and supportive teacher. Her English is perfect, and her learning resources are super helpful. I look forward to continuing my learning with her.

Nessma gave me feedback on verbs when converting about the different holidays that are celebrated in Egypt and we talked about what are the common things people eat for various holidays. I know that I will continue to be challenged by her when we do lessons in the future. She always sends me the corrections in the notes and words and phrases that I am learning as well so that I can review them and that is so helpful.

Nessma spoke to me about moving to my new apartment in Arabic and I learned a lot of new verbs and she was very encouraging of me to keep up practicing and eventually I will learn what I am lacking. She could write a book with all the concepts she helps me with in Arabic. I haven't seen the advice she gives in any other books or materials. She is definitely well equipped to teach these concepts while still staying in Arabic in our conversations. She is a great teacher and I'm so grateful to have her.

We were able to have another great lesson. Learning a language doesn't take one chaotic leap into the abyss, but a series of small trips forward into a brighter world.
