Always enjoy lessons with Dina!

I was disappointed with this lesson. We started 30 minutes late.At the beginning, I explained that I was not looking for a prepared lesson. I have been independently studying Arabic for about a year, and my main goal was to have a conversation and get speaking practice. Instead, the teacher spent the first 15 minutes explaining various dialogues that I was already familiar with, without giving me opportunity to speak. She then moved into a prepared lesson and tested me on vocabulary, which was not what I had requested. When I tried to say a word, I was told "No" and corrected on my pronunciation. While I understand that corrections can be helpful, the amount and manner of correction left me feeling discouraged rather than supported. I finished the lesson feeling discouraged about my progress in Arabic. Unfortunately, I felt that the lesson was not a good use of my time or money. The teacher spoke for approximately 95% of the lesson, despite my specifically requesting speaking practice.

Thanks Dina!! Dina is a good teacher; she provides a laid-back lesson and is good at guiding, presenting, and encourages conversation. I really feel confident talking to Dina 🙂

I had such a happy coincidence meeting Dina! She kindly made herself available for an instant lesson after I explained that I’m traveling very soon and needed a lesson right away. She was incredibly kind, respectful, patient, and encouraging. I was a little shy at first, but she encouraged me to speak and made me feel completely comfortable. She listened carefully, explained everything clearly, and encouraged me to express myself honestly and confidently. Even though we only spent a few minutes together, she genuinely boosted my confidence and made me feel much more reassured about traveling than I did before the lesson. I truly recommend Dina, and I will definitely continue taking lessons with her after I travel. She is honestly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had! 🤗🤗

Ustadha Dina was helpful with feedback and listened attentively . She tailors her approach and I went from having terrible vocab and sentence structure to massive improvements . Since my lessons with her . So thank you so much

Really good teacher! I really feel like I'm learning, remembering, and practicing from this teacher's lessons. Very beneficial! Alhamdulillah!
