Committed to student-centered teaching with a focus on tailored lesson plans . Strong interpersonal communication skills and a deep commitment to understanding students’ unique challenges with language learning. Detailed knowledge of Arabic cultures, passionate about history of languages, deep understanding of the Arabic language, including its history, grammar, and syntax. I was lucky to teach my step son Arabic words and terms, along with beautiful Arabic traditions, some information about the Arabic history. It was a beautiful experience, considering that both parents are non Arab! My passion about languages has driven me to pick up basic courses in French and Spanish. I was also fortunate to teach non Arab students Arabic Language, Holy Quran and Islamic Studies, watching the eagerness and dedication reflected from those young students will be held in my heart forever.
