Prof Faiza

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!

A strong recommendation for anyone who really wants to learn the language and improve their knowledge. A real teacher with all the good attributes such as in-depth knowledge of the language, teaching skills, patience, giving good explanations which you then practice with her, but never boring. Excellent.

The environment she creates is supportive and comfortable, with the perfect gauge of what exercises will be challenging yet manageable for me. The lessons are always well-prepared and customized for what I need to work on. She is truly patient and always kind. I am sincerely always looking forward to another class with her.

Je viens d'avoir ma première leçon avec Faiza et c'était fantastique. Elle est patiente et elle explique bien des choses, et elle a un bon éventail de matériel pour travailler. Je te la recommande fortement!

Faiza is not just a teacher; she is a true guide. She has this way of explaining things that makes it easier for us to understand, and she has a level of patience that not all teachers have. She genuinely cares about her students and gives her all to encourage us. If I had the time, I would take 4 hours of lessons with her every day! But since I also work on Italki, I don't have much time ;-) She is a teacher who knows exactly the right curriculum to follow with beginner students, and her teaching style is perfect :-) I could write pages and pages, but it still wouldn't be enough to describe how grateful I am for her help. She is very flexible, and her kindness knows no limits. I highly recommend Faiza to anyone looking for the perfect teacher to start learning Arabic or even to improve their skills :-)

Great teacher!
