Living in Beirut, Lebanon

Certified Arabic Teacher, Translator and Interpreter since 2012. I am a Lebanese polyglot with a Bachelor's degree in Translation, a Master's degree in Conference Interpretation, and a Teaching Diploma. I am currently pursuing another Master's degree in Arabic as an Applied and Foreign Language. I have a deep passion for languages, nature, travel, and exploring new cultures and cuisines! With over a decade of experience as a teacher, I founded an Arabic language institute for non-native speakers in Beirut in 2012. I developed my own Arabic curriculum, which includes seven books covering all levels, from beginners to advanced. Throughout these years, I have had the privilege of teaching diplomats and INGO professionals in both Modern Standard Arabic and Lebanese Arabic. In my classes, I strive to address all essential language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. However, my primary emphasis is always on speaking, as it is the most rewarding aspect of learning a new language. Recognizing that language is inseparable from culture, I often incorporate Arabic songs and proverbs as key teaching tools to enrich the learning experience.

Nadine is a fantastic teacher. Pushes you to use the language in class but also is flexible enough to adapt the lessons to your conversational needs. Highly recommend. She should charge more because she greater value than professors who charge double or triple

Nadine is a very good and very kind teacher. The lessons are well organized in topics, allowing to learn new vocabulary/grammar and rapidly use them in sentences and dialogs. In few lessons I have already progressed a lot. Many thanks Nadine!

Nadine is the best Arabic teacher I've ever had. I have been taking classes with her for several years now, both in person and online. She encouraged me to speak from the beginning and she made it so easy to learn Arabic. She is very prepared and organized. She knows the language and the grammar (both MSA and Levantine Arabic) extremely well and the fact that she speaks several other languages helps a lot because she understands where the difficulties are for her students. I am extremely lucky to have her as my teacher.
