Hanan

I highly recommend for all levels and experience. Hanan is an excellent teacher who has a very helpful way of providing feedback after each lesson. She generates a list of new words/phrases and a voice recording so you can learn the vocab on your own, which is my favorite thing. During the lesson, she is clearly very experienced teaching foreigners, and her methods make you feel that you're getting a lot of value from a professional teacher, not just a native speaker. I have had ten different teachers over my time learning Arabic, so I know what a good teacher is, and Hanan is definitely at the top.

I've been meeting with Hanan for almost six months now, and I've definitely seen an improvement in my spoken Levantine Arabic. She's organized and thoughtful in the way that she gets me to open up about my day-to-day in order to bring new vocabulary into the fold. At the end of each lesson, she's great about making time to write down the new words we've reviewed during our time together, and she also says them in a sentence and gives me the pronunciation. I also enjoy when I don't understand something about grammar, she takes the time to give examples of how particular grammatical constructions works and empowers me to provide examples of my own. Hanan is a wonderful teacher 100 recommend her to anyone looking to improve their spoken Arabic!

Hanan has a whole curriculum figured out from the beginning and is straight-to-the-point, which gives the student plenty of time to learn new stuff and practice it immediately! She checks in with the student frequently to see if everything is going well, which I appreciate. At the end of the lesson, Hanan did something I have never seen another teacher do: she did a recap of the entire lesson on the spot while recording herself and then sent me all of the PDFs we used in the lesson plus the recording for future reference. I love that, because I got a real-time summary and also materials to save me in the future! Thank you for the wonderful lesson, Hanan!

Another really good lesson with Hanan, she is very patient, very proactive, and uses lots of real life examples. She is a great teacher.

I had a nice first lesson with Hanan. She's very professional and organized. She has lots of materials prepared on a variety of topics. Hanan is also friendly and easy to talk to. Shukran! :)

So helpful! as always a really great lesson. I love the way Hanan gets you to practice using the verbs you have learned with new sentences- very helpful. thank you Hanan!
