Hi everyone,
I am of Iraqi origin and a graduate of the University of London. I specialise in teaching Arabic as a second language in the way I learnt it, which includes making the language clearer and easier to understand for English speakers. I have been learning Arabic my whole life (I'm now in my late 30s) and have reached near-native fluency in Arabic, both Modern Standard Arabic and my parents’ dialect.
وَأظن أننا بحاجة الى تغيير جذري في مناهج وَطرائق تعليم اللغة العربية حتى تناسب أكثر الناطقين بغيرها.
I am also a writer and an honours degree graduate (2:1). My first degree was in English literature and I have obtained a post-graduate teaching degree, too.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I’m a qualified teacher with professional school experience. I have experience of teaching both children and adults and know how to make my lessons engaging and fun: I use songs or whatever resource interests the student, I give children plenty of reward and praise, and adults plenty of encouragement, autonomy and constructive feedback. I like to build a good rapport with my students and ensure they enjoy every lesson.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are varied and dynamic, and I cover a lot in each one without overwhelming my students. I go at the pace that people are happy with, whether they want to be challenged or whether they want to progress slowly and steadily. I aim to instil a passion for Arabic in all my students so they continue to teach themselves and maybe others one day.
Ala is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable teacher. For English speakers trying to learn Arabic, she has to be best on this platform. Highly recommend.

Ala'a is patient and methodical with my 7 year old. She has really taken the trouble to understand his interests, likes and dislikes and tailors the lesson to hold his attention. He looks forward to his Arabic with Ala'a and has come on leaps and bounds.

I just had my trial lesson with Ala. She was very polite and professional and is very good at explaining things in a manner which is easy to understand.

Ala is an excellent Arabic teacher. She is very patient, uses different tools and teaching styles depending on what works for the student, is very friendly and flexibe. Very large amount of material is learnt each lesson and she makes it easier to learn. She is always on time and very reliable. Highly recommend!
