I started teaching Arabic by volunteering at Small Project Istanbul (SPI), an NGO which helps displaced Syrians in Istanbul.

Abodi was very friendly and came with ideas and homework pre-prepared which I really appreciate. His command of English was also impressive. We could switch between Arabic and English with no problem. I felt very comfortable and I'm really excited to work more with him.
