About Me
italki teacher since Nov 22, 2016Me as a Teacher
Beside teaching on iTalki I work as a private tutor here in Istanbul and I also work on different projects for teaching both standard and spoken Arabic. Some of these projects are:
• Arabic Workshop: an audios & videos library for learning MSA. I work as a script writer and assist in curriculum development
• Fluent Forever: a platform where you can learn a vast number of languages. of course one of these languages is Arabic. I work with them on developing a course for teaching Syrian Arabic dialect
• Conversations Unbound: an NGO that connects students from American universities with Arabic tutors. I work with them as a board member as well as a tutor. My lessons & teaching style
There is no magical plan that works for everyone. Each one of us is unique! That's why I tailor individual plans for each student depending on their level and interest. It doesn't matter what your level is or how old you are, you will speak and build your confidence from lesson one.
I use videos, songs, books, and podcasts. Don't be surprised if I ask you to sing sometime!
From time to time you'll have a project to do and after each lesson you'll have homework to keep up the Arabic until the next lesson.
If you're a university student, of course you have read "Al-Kitaab". I have good news for you! I teach from this book to students from more than one university.My teaching material

I've now completed 100 Lessons with Alaa. It has been an excellent experience- we've also met on my recent visit to Istanbul. My language acquisition has jumped massively and I feel I can now have a heated discussion in Arabic...yay! I even find myself thinking in Arabic at times.
Alaa is really well read on a wide range of topics and we have discussed topics from the ancient arabic texts and fables, all the way to modern culture, medicine, engineering, current affairs, news articles, environmental issues, etc.
He is usually encouraging of me expressing an opinion, which I feel pushes me to be more expressive.
Studying English and Turkish himself, it has been interesting at times to discuss how the different languages work and we often discuss how jokes work in the different languages.
I would definitely recommend him, particularly if you've reached an intermediate level and you're not sure where to go from here.
