About Me
italki teacher since May 13, 2021Interest topicHistoryWritingTravelFoodReading
My name is Fathiyya Refky. I am a graduate of Al-Azhar University in Egypt. I live in Cairo and I work at a language center in Historical Cairo, a place where you can smell the breeze of Egyptian history and culture. I grew up in a village in the middle of the Nile Delta, but I moved to Cairo after high school.Me as a Teacher
After my graduation in 2007, I have worked as a translator. In 2015, I started an exciting language teaching career.
I have taught Arabic in the USA (Bethany College, WV), and now I am studying a Master's in teaching Arabic. I have also taught Arabic at Leiden University, the Netherlands, in 2022-2023.My lessons & teaching style
My goal is to empower learners to achieve their own goals. Whether you are learning Arabic for fun, interest in languages, or for academic reasons, I will definitely give you the support you need. I customize lessons to according to your preferences and continuous feedback, and guide you through the learning process. For optimum results, I do encourage my learners to be aware of their language learning strategies, e.g. creating vocabulary lists, etc., and to share their preferred learning style(s) with me. Various forms of feedback are offered. I aim to motivate learners develop a positive Arabic learning mindset, where learners and teachers contribute to a fruitful learning experience.My teaching material

Education
2020 - 2023
Master's - MA TAFL (masters of Teaching Arabic as a foreign language)In this degree, I study courses about language acquisition, teaching methodology, research methods, and of course the Arabic language in terms of grammar, phonetics, etc... The academic study is always paired with hands-on training and teaching practice. Therefore every semester, I work as a teaching assistant of Arabic under the guidance of the AUC professors, often giving one-to-one classes to supplement the main courses given by the professors.

Fathiyya is a fantastic instructor! I am learning Arabic from scratch, and her lessons have given me a strong foundation in the basics of the language so far. I really appreciate the way our lessons are structured; I always come away from lessons with a wealth of new material. I would definitely recommend learning Arabic with Fathiyya!

اتعلم اللغة العربية مع فتحية منذ أربعة أسابيع وأستطيع أن أقول إنها ممتازة جدا بتعليمها. تجهز كل دروسنا تفضيلا وهي دائما جاهزة لأسئلتي الصعبة. كان عندي حتى الآن اكثر من 20 أستاذ للغة العربية ولكن لا من مثل فتحية! شكرا لمساعدتك وأراك قريبا جدا إن شاء الله.
