I majored in Middle Eastern Studies and minored in math during undergrad at Cornell. Since graduating I've worked in a number of fields and countries, although the common theme is teaching English and researching in the Middle East. As an English Teaching Assistant at Weill Medical School in Qatar, I became competent at editing and guiding students in writing. I'm now a first year fellow studying Policy Analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.

I have learned that covering reading, writing, and speech evenly is highly important when maximizing your linguistic abilities in another language, and so I intend to practice each aspect with my students.

Additionally, some students move more quickly through languages than others, and so I am open to tailoring language tutoring to and...

Arabic Tutoring FAQ
The ability to speak one or more Arabic dialects can be quite an impressive addition to your resume. As one of the fastest-growing and richest regions in the world, the ability to speak Arabic fluently could land you a high-paying career in a Gulf Cooperation Council country like the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, or Kuwait. Unfortunately, however, mastering the Arabic language can be as difficult as it is lucrative. With a complex writing system and a grammar structure that is completely different than that of English, many students who are self-studying or learning in the classroom find themselves confused and frustrated. Don't be dissuaded by the difficulty of learning this language. Instead, supplement your studies with private Arabic tutoring. By contacting Varsity Tutors, we can help you connect with a private Arabic tutor in your area who can assist you in your language-learning goals.
Unlike many modern languages of the Indo-European tree, such as Spanish, French, and German, a Semitic language like Arabic can be quite difficult to learn for native English speakers. Even with the best of help, it can still be time-consuming and challenging. Therefore, do not be fooled into thinking that you can teach yourself this language. The morphological and phonemic structures of any of the Arab dialects are quite foreign to the structures as they occur in the English language. Likewise, there is the added difficulty of an alphabet that is quite different from the Roman alphabet used to express English words. Unlike the Greek or even the Cyrillic alphabet, the alphabet used in the Russian language, Arabic script can appear quite foreign to an English speaker, making mastery of the language all that more difficult. Add to that the dialectic differences found in many different countries, and you have quite a smorgasbord of difficulties for mastering this important language. Do not let all of this dissuade you, for you are not alone and without help! Varsity Tutors can help you connect with knowledgeable Arabic instructors who can help you develop the skills that you need, building on your current language skills and giving you confidence in reading, writing, and speaking Arabic.
Instead of interacting with a computer program or a written text, you can develop your skills by experiencing the back-and-forth that is possible between a student and his or her teacher in Arabic tutoring. A tutor can help you diagnose the subtle difficulties that you are having in the process of learning this complex tongue, helping to quicken your progress. Whether your difficulties are primarily in using a spoken dialect or in reading the standard forms of written Arabic, your tutor can identify the roots of your issues in a way that is impossible in an impersonal class, with a computer program, or by trying to study on your own. Through directly addressing your issues, you can move on to the skilled use of the Arabic tongue with ease and efficiency.
When you work with a private Arabic tutor, you are also able to learn with someone who is dedicated to working around your busy schedule. This means that you control when and where you meet, and can have sessions at night, during the weekend, or any other time that doesn't take away from your prior engagements. Moreover, you can choose where you would like to study, and are encouraged to pick a place that is a comfortable learning environment. While many students enjoy studying from the comfort of their own home, you can also choose to meet at a local college campus, in the library, or at your favorite coffee shop. Finally, if you can't meet in-person, simply ask your tutor to conduct a face-to-face online session with you using our live learning platform. With help just a phone call or email away, why hesitate to find the assistance that can help you succeed in your Arabic studies today? Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss how we can help you find the best Arabic tutor for you!

Recent Arabic Tutoring Session Notes
I had an introductory lesson with the student, focusing on the letters of the Arabic alphabet, how to pronounce them, and practicing a short and basic conversation. He seems very enthusiastic about the class and Arabic in general.
Focused mainly on assessing where the student is at in his Arabic proficiency, getting an idea for his vocabulary and where the areas of opportunity are in his language learning. Reviewed basic grammar and some simple words focusing on the theme school and family. Ended session with a 30-min conversation in Arabic in order to activate some of the newer words and to get him accustomed to speaking in Arabic and forming sentences. As expected, listening and speaking skills could use some work and refining. That will come through consistent practice.
The student and I worked on his sentence translations regarding location today. After showing him the pattern and jogging his memory using the textbook, he did very well. We also practiced unscrambling sentences. He did great with that. He shows a good understanding of grammar/sentence structures.
We began by going over some homework the student did from his workbook. We then moved on to lesson four, and worked through the first dialogue. Finally, we practiced some grammatical constructions and conversed in Mandarin.
The student and I used the Chinese language-learning website to go through 4 storybooks. She transcribed these books into Pinyin with my assistance as needed. She did very well in recognizing the sentence structure patterns and extrapolating words and definitions based on her prior knowledge.
Today, I explained the test questions to the student, since he is taking Mandarin 1 soon. We practiced some sentences, and introduced 63 most commonly used Chinese nouns that may appear in his test. He worked really hard to understand, I am satisfied with his progress. He concerned about the sentence structure, which we will cover next week. His homework is to get familiar with all these vocabulary.
