Iman - Gloucester tutor
Information About Iman:
Personal Description:
Hi, my name is Iman. I am Egyptian and a native Arabic speaker with 16 years of experience in teaching Arabic. I teach both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Egyptian dialect, and I also have experience in setting and marking exams for both.
I tailor my lessons according to the students' needs so that they can get the best results.
Usually, I begin my teaching by assessing the students and discussing their objectives. From there, I discuss with them my tailored course plan.
I believe that teaching language and culture are inseparable. I include the cultural background of the Arabic language during my teaching as it helps the student connect more with the language and helps them master it in a logical way. It also raises a lot of interesting discussions including about the equivalents of certain cultural phrases in English.
Teaching Experience:
Currently, I am a freelance Arabic and Egyptian dialect teacher. I have been teaching since 2007 and I have taught students of all ages ranging from 5 to adults. I have also taught all levels, from complete beginners to advanced.
When teaching children, I like to make the lesson as engaging and interactive as possible, using games, songs, flashcards, coloring pictures and roleplays.
For adult students, I rely mostly on authentic materials from a wide range of media such as songs, talk shows, and news outlets, as well as materials that I have created myself.
I have experience in teaching at all skill levels and adjusting my materials according to the student's specific requirements:
Reading: range from basic words to articles
Writing: ranges from texts to emails and essays
Listening: ranges from basic children's stories to news reports and documentaries
Speaking: ranges from basic general day-to-day conversation to discussing any preferred topic and debate and job interviews in Modern Standard Arabic or dialect whilst always practicing pronunciation.
Tutoring Approach:
I am flexible, and keen to help the students to achieve their goals in learning the language. all my lessons are tailored according to the student's needs.
