MOHAMED RABEA

My name is Rabea, and I am from Cairo, Egypt. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Arabic Linguistics and Literature and have been teaching Arabic as a foreign language to students of the most diverse nationalities for more than six years. I have experience teaching students at different levels from absolute beginners to more advanced learners, both in person and via Skype.

For me, teaching and learning languages is not only about grammar and linguistics, but rather about having a privileged access to a different culture. I am indeed convinced that “the limits of your language are the limits of your world”.

My method consists in taking my students through a natural learning process by exposing them to situations they would encounter in Egyptian everyday life. Furthermore, throughout my life, my passion for learning European languages has made me more aware of the peculiarities of my mother tongue and able to identify the differences that might cause difficulties to non-Arabic speakers.

I am passionate about traveling, cycling, and exploring different parts of Egypt.  I have gone on many cycling trips around the country with just my bike and a backpack.

WAEL ASFOUR

I am an Egyptian certified teacher of Arabic as a Foreign Language with a master’s degree from the American University in Cairo (AUC). I enjoy communicating with people and learning more about different cultures. During the past three years, I have taught students from different nationalities and levels (especially beginner and intermediate). My favorite teaching approach is the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach, in which language is taught through meaningful contexts. In my free time, I enjoy reading and traveling.

JIHAD AHMED

I’m Gihad Ahmad. I’m a 21-year-old Egyptian girl. I live in Assiut, which is a city located in Upper Egypt. My major is English Literature and the English language. I love reading which makes me feel and live more. I also love to write what’s popping up in my mind. Actually, I wrote my first short story three months ago. I believe that the easiest way to understand someone is to know about his/her culture, and language is a method we use for this purpose. I enjoy teaching Arabic, especially my Egyptian dialect through language exchange apps to let people know more about our culture, traditions, and lifestyle. I translate songs, pronounce words, and talk about food recipes. Learning Arabic is gonna’ be fun with me.
