A natural language teacher - a very rewarding experience overall

I have been having lessons with Mam Sabah for quite a while. Each session has been well-planned, enjoyable and useful. She is an excellent teacher and a delight to study with. She is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material and she is patient and extremely professional at all times.
I'd say she is capable of teaching English at any level.
Highly recommended!

My ideal Teacher for all the times?

I've been remained student of Madam Sabah.She is so persistent as well as skilled in her profession.I would like to qoute her lines that all endings are the beginnings so if any one is gonna endup wth broken heart i would suggest him or her to make a new start with her she's been serving amongst different institutions.No doubt she is multitalented nd very hardworking teacher.
May Allah give her more and more success in her life.. ameen
