Salma Abdeldayem, an Egyptian girl passionate about language learning and teaching. I'm a school physics teacher with a master's in genetics. My passion for languages led me to start language exchanges three years ago in 2016. I also like art, designing, decoration, and anything that is related to patterns and colours. I like whatever is sense-related: music, colours, art, and I found language learning to be as satisfying and enjoyable as art, as words and letters have different sounds and should be pronounced a certain way, which is art to me. (2018 - 2019) Diploma in Education (2017 - now) School teacher in British System (2016 - now) language exchanges with English native speakers Being a school teacher, I like to 'simplify' what I teach as much as possible. Also, 'active learning' is what I always use, by linking what I'm teaching with real-life examples and using pictures, videos, movie scenes, magazine and comic pages, and even posts from social media platforms. With that, learning becomes a natural and easy process that learners do not feel that they are learning, it is like freestyle learning. I like it to be fun, simple, and engaging.

Another amazing lesson. Salma is a really excellent teacher - I’ve tried a few different Egyptian Arabic teachers here on Italki and Salma is one of the best for sure. Very good at identifying and solving the holes in my grammar and vocab and helping me express myself while providing loads of entertaining material for comprehension. 10/10 ☺️

I already have a fairly advanced level of Egyptian Arabic, so it's hard to find a teacher who can really teach me something new, but somehow Salma found a way! I was surprised at how much I learned in just one lesson with her. We managed to cover a wide variety of topics, including grammar, vocab, listening, pronunciation and even some cultural tidbits that no book will teach you. We spoke Arabic most of the time, but Salma also speaks excellent English and so was able to explain some difficult points in precise, colloquial English. I can't wait to take another lesson with her.

Salma has been a really wonderful guide for me as I'm getting started with Egyptian. She has been very patient, corrects my mistakes in an encouraging way, and suggests lots of helpful exercises and materials for me to think about and increase my exposure. I'm really happy I started taking lessons with Salma and am excited to keep going!

Lessons with Salma are amazing every single time. I’m surprised by how much I can learn, even though I sometimes don’t have much time to practice between classes or do my homework. Salma is a wonderful person; she’s always patient and adapts to my needs to help me learn in the best way possible. She uses a great mix of structure, planning, creativity, and intuition. I’m so happy I found her! Thank you so much!! 💜💜💜
