Establishing children to study the Arabic language and grammar rules and solve tests and applications in easy and uncomplicated ways
The Arabic language and its grammar rules are among the simplest and most wonderful things that can be studied if they are taught in peaceful and direct ways according to each student’s level of comprehension. Many of our children struggle to understand and apply grammar rules while solving problems. I have more than 12 years of experience in teaching Arabic grammar and syntax in an enjoyable way, which has helped my students excel in the Arabic language in an amazing way. Exercises are also conducted on an ongoing basis to ensure that the student fully understands the grammar rules and other exercises related to the Arabic language that have been explained. Periodic reviews are conducted to ensure that the student fully understands what he has studied. The curriculum is given great consideration in order to enhance the student’s academic excellence. Together we will make it easy... Learning Arabic language and grammar will become fun and challenging for the mind in every lesson. The progress of the children will be shown in a short time.
