Case Studies: Teachers

Hi, Fadila! Let’s begin with the language you teach and a little about your experience as a teacher.

Hi! Teaching has been my passion since I was in primary school. Where I was born, we study Arabic language all the way to, and even in, university. I graduated in Spanish philology, but studied Arabic throughout and I like giving my knowledge to others, so started teaching Arabic to others. I like to say that I don’t let my students go before they can speak about themselves in Arabic.

How did you come to teach with Language Trainers and what is your favorite thing about working with us?

I wanted to belong to a known company that cares for their tutors as much as their clients. This is Language Trainers! Since working with the company, I have found myself teaching people from all parts of the world via Skype, which is wonderful. Also, payment is always on time, the in-house staff respond to my emails quickly, and people are always available to answer my questions and concerns.

Do you have a particular highlight from your experiences so far?

I love to remember the joy of my first two learners when I suggested they put stickers on everything we mention in class: one in Arabic; the other in transliterated Arabic.

An enthusiastic student is always a good student, no? What else do you look for in learners?

Respect for what I am doing, punctuality, doing their homework, and to take their lessons seriously. Also, to revise, memorize, and collaborate.

And how do you respond? What do you bring to each lesson to aid their learning?

Good manners and an enthusiasm and knowledge that makes them love what they are doing. Also, I put a heavy focus on speaking skills: all my students start speaking essential Arabic within the first two hours of their studies with me.

Finally, would you recommend other students enroll in courses with Language Trainers?

Yes, students are guaranteed to get what they pay for because they will definitely learn to speak their desired language.
