Fadi

Professor Fadi has a unique pedagogic methodology by which one can become an adept speaker of Arabic at an accelerated pace. He encourages you to go out of your comfort zone and communicate in Arabic during lessons, so that you begin to “live” in the language. I have seen a rapid change in my ability and confidence to communicate in Arabic since I began lessons with Professor Fadi. Furthermore, Professor Fadi is a very patient and helpful teacher, so the student never feels worried about making a mistake, and his approach therefore is very effective at building confidence with the language, which is of paramount importance. I would highly recommend Professor Fadi, who goes out of his way to help students as much as possible. He is one of a kind!

I'm scared to keep writing good things about Fadi because I don't want anyone else taking my times! He's definitely the best!

I felt like I was struggling a little in today's shami lesson, but Fadi patiently worked with me, and we still got a lot accomplished. Many teachers might not adapt so well, but Fadi meets his students where they are and supports them.

Wowww, I´ve never met a teacher here on italki that is experienced, prepared, and ready to teach. As intimidating as Arabic is, he makes it easy. We went over verb conjugations in this lesson. Even though I was nervous, he was great at making me feel at ease and guiding me through the lesson. Shoukran yaa Fadi. Bedros ktiir il yom ma3ak. :D

Ustaz Fadi is a wonderful teacher. He facilitate conversation on any topic, and provides ample useful feedback. I learn a lot each time we meet.

I’m really enjoying my MSA and Syrian colloquial classes with Fadi. He ensures that I have ample opportunity to speak on subjects of interest, like diplomacy and politics, creating engaging and therefore sufficient learning opportunities for me. Fadi also ensures learning targets all four areas for fluency, with a special focus on listening and speaking, something I can improve on! Thanks Fadi, Gus Anderson (British Student, MPhil Oxford)
