Adel Samy

From the first lesson with Adel, I could tell that he knew what I was looking for. Quality Egyptian Arabic conversation without much English...attainable difficulty but not TOO easy. He always pushes me to take that next step in vocabulary or listening comprehension. Whereas some other teachers might speak too slowly, Adel only slows down after a couple unsuccessful attempts to get his meaning. He is not intimidating and always has a positive attitude. One more thing is that he provides resources (songs and media suggestions and reading material) for those who need it, and he can provide more teaching-style lessons, although I'm just looking for conversation. I can't recommend Adel more highly.

recent heavier focus on oral comprehension is bearing fruit.

he pushes me to keep listening and talking and I can feel the improvements coming, which is filling me with confidence

Patient when tackling complicated grammatical areas. Constructive and useful homework.

Always patient. I feel that I am understanding more and more first time.

Excellent as ever. Focus on speech challenging as I'm not used to it and my ear isn't attuned to the sounds as much as my eye is to the writing, But Adel always very patient and I am getting there
