About Me
italki teacher since Oct 15, 2021Interest topicGamingScienceTravelFoodFilms & TV Series
My name is Atef and I love teaching Egyptian Arabic. I have a broad range of interests including walking, couchsurfing, watching Danish and Iranian films, designing and playing games both physical and electronic as well as learning new languages. I speak Arabic natively, English fluently, and am conversational in both German and Vietnamese.
Even though I lived in Cairo most of my life, I still discover a new treasure here almost on a daily basis as I criss cross through it walking.
Me as a Teacher
I've been tutoring Arabic for about five years now. I use research-based methods to help my students learn and retain Arabic vocabulary and to have conversations from day one. I make flashcards with audio, recorded reading materials and and other resources to help you keep learning between lessons. This leaves most of the lesson time free for chatting in Arabic. I enjoy meeting new people and learning from them.
I find that identifying similarities and differences between Arabic and English is very helpful. This makes use of a language you're fluent in as a base for learning Arabic and helps you avoid making mistakes common to English speakers.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is geared towards you becoming conversational as soon as possible. Each lesson starts with me explaining a key grammatical concept and vocabulary to practice this grammar structure in conversation. We repeat the new grammar and vocab in imaginary scenarios until you're confident.
Then, we chat about a topic that interests you while I collect the new words you needed to express yourself and after the lesson, I create flashcards that help you memorise the new words (I record audio so you can practice your pronunciation).
The free flashcards app tests you on 20 words daily. Do that for 15 minutes a day and we'll be having great conversations in Egyptian Arabic in no time!My teaching material

Mr. Rostom is patient, knowledgeable, and (unbelievably) even makes me audio flashcards. Without doubt the best lesson experience I've had on italki in any language.

Today's lesson was very challenging. Atef was extremely patient in explaining difficult words and complex phrases. His way of teaching is very professional and helpful. If you are studying arabic alone and you are looking for someone to corrrect your mistakes and take your arabic to the next level, then i definitely recommend Atef!

Very helpful lesson where we focused on a grammar point I have been struggling with for a long time. Atef has a good knowledge of Egyptian Arabic grammar rules which is very valuable as there are few resources explaining these rules. Thank you Atef!
