Hi! I'm Khaila, an Arabic language teacher and a visual artist from Palestine currently living in Turkey. Have worked in education and research for over 8 years, chiefly specializing in relationships between fine art, literature, and history and this is my second year working on Italki as an Arabic teacher. I am interested in learning languages, so I get to know about different cultures and I express that knowledge through my paintings. I also like dancing, reading, and watching movies. As for other hobbies, I am interested in physical activities such as hiking. With hiking, I have had the opportunity to develop my photography of natural scenes. Since my graduation, I have been working in teaching where I taught the Arabic language- the Palestinian and Jordanian accent (Levantine dialect) in terms of general conversation, grammar, literature, morphology, writing, listening, Arabic slangs, writing proofreading and Quran for non-Arabic speakers and for native speakers as well. I taught students from various backgrounds, ages, and levels and from private lessons to classrooms so that I can work with any level. My lessons are tailored around what a student wants and needs. My main focus is to help them relax and speak through friendly conversation as well as any subject they enjoy and any skill they want to improve.

Khaila is such an impressive teacher! I have tried to learn levantine arabic for years now and this is the first time, I feel like I've found a teacher who can actually help me excel. Her ability to create structure around lesson goals and still stay in fleuent conversation mode, is beyond me. Very excited about my next classes..

Khaila is such a great teacher! She always makes sure I’m following along and doesn’t mind patiently explaining things with as many examples as I need. I also really appreciate her kind and encouraging attitude, along with high level of professionalism, whether we’re working on the materials she prepared beforehand or during lessons in a more spontaneous conversational format. I totally recommend!

Wonderful first lesson with Khaila. She helped make me feel immediately comfortable, which is super important for me because I let my nerves get the best of me when speaking Arabic.

Never thought I'd have so much fun discussing a topic I don't like! LOL, today we learned terms related to sports. This actually made for some great conversation and I feel I learned a lot this morning. Khaila asked lots of questions, using new and old vocabulary. She was also extremely encouraging, even when I forgot words she's taught me more than once ;)

Khaila is a wonderful teacher - very adept at understanding my level and figuring out what I need to keep pushing me forward. I enjoy these lessons immensely and always look forward to them. I also appreciate how she keeps a running tab of words that come up so I can study them after the lesson.

Khaila is a wonderful teacher - patient, engaging, thoughtful. From the beginning she understood my level and what I needed and has crafted her lessons so that we can focus exactly on that. I'm loving these classes!
