Nada

I have been taking lessons with Nada for almost a year now and I wanted to write a bit of a longer review for her. I really enjoy my lessons with Nada and I look forward to them every week. She was able to immediately and accurately evaluate my level in Arabic, and prepared a program that keeps me engaged and working while still staying at an appropriate level of difficulty. She is definitely the most "challenging" (in a good way!) teacher that I have worked with on Italki, because she is constantly pushing me to read more difficult texts, write about interesting and complicated topics, and generally push the limits of what I can do in Arabic. I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in learning Arabic.

My first class with Nada was a bit like going to an Arabic Language doctor. She meticulously assessed my level of proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing. She showed me a well organized and comprehensive learning plan. The whole time she was very kind and patient with me. A real professional. I hope to continue with her.

My trial with Nada was useful and fun. She challenged me and asked me lots of questions and it was just the first day. Highly recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson with Nada! She has very good pedagogical skills, and knows how to explain the grammar in a simple and relatable way. She spoke to me only in Arabic, which I was thrilled about, because I'm convinced that maximum exposure to the language is what is needed to learn efficiently. In addition to these points, she has a charming and engaging personality, so the time of the lesson just flew by. I would definitely recommend her to all of you.

What was amazing about this lesson was how Nada took something seemingly difficult and showed how, in fact, when you understand the logic it becomes easy. Letters in Arabic change depending on where they are in the word (beginning, middle, or end). Rather than having me memorize all the forms, she just showed the logic of how they change. I was able to sound out every word she gave me with minimal effort. Once she pointed out letters that were more complicated and I struggled with, I couldn't unsee it after she explained it lol.

I highly recommend Nada. She is encouraging and adapts every lesson to my progress and needs. Her great charismatisch teaching style sets her apart from other people on online platforms.
