I am a native speaker of Arabic and English with a PhD in Linguistics from SOAS-University of London, a TEFL certificate, and over 14 years of experience teaching Arabic and English in the US, UK, and Middle East. I have taught at SOAS, the UK Ministry of Defence, and the Saudi Ministry of Education. I have also worked as a linguistic & cultural consultant for the UN and NGOs worldwide. At the Ministry of Defence, I taught all levels of Arabic (MSA & dialects) to British military linguists, officers, and diplomats who were set to undertake defence activities in the Middle East. I taught Linguistics and Arabic at SOAS and Translation, Linguistics, and English at the Ministry of Education.

Dr. Judi has a natural way of making Arabic learning interesting and engaging! She is understanding and gives encouraging feedback about how you are doing which is super helpful to keep you motivated. I really like taking classes with her, she is such a friendly, passionate and enthusiastic teacher!

Dr. Judi is so thoroughly well-versed in linguistics and Arabic culture and history. Learning from her is amazing because each lesson I understand more deeply a new culture and intricate set of customs that's starkly different from the American upbringing I've had. I'm so excited to keep learning with her and see how much I progress over the year!

Dr. Judi is an exceptional teacher- well prepared, excels at breaking down grammar notes, and is a great resource for developing efficient study habits. In my last lesson, we started with a basic grammar lesson (e.g., going over the grammar rules followed by a few sentence drills) and then switched to vocabulary lesson where I learned how discuss a particular hobby. She seamlessly integrated the grammar lesson with the vocabulary lesson, and by the end I felt confident with the teachings from both lessons. Thank you!
