Arabic for non-Native Speakers. How to understand and use Arabic in better way.
Learning a foreign language becomes one of the important things to communicate. The Arabic Language Nowadays is required in many international jobs. I have designed this course to reach you wherever you are so you can learn Arabic at your home with me - an Arabic teacher- from my home also. Through the classes, I focus on your purpose of learning Arabic. Whether you want to learn the local or standard language. I taught almost all kinds of students. Academics, diplomats, and kids. I have experience in one-to-one or group classes. During the class, I prefer to use Powerpoint to help the student feels that the online class is close enough to in-person classes. In my class, you will learn how to understand Arabic outside the class and without any help from me or any Arab. Generally, learning needs two parts to be achieved. So I can't do any progress if you did not help me. Apprendre une langue étrangère devient l'une des choses les plus importantes à communiquer. La langue arabe est aujourd'hui requise dans de nombreux emplois internationaux. J'ai conçu ce cours pour vous atteindre où que vous soyez afin que vous puissiez apprendre l'arabe chez vous avec moi - un professeur d'arabe - depuis chez moi aussi. À travers les cours, je me concentre sur votre objectif d'apprendre l'arabe. Que vous souhaitiez apprendre la langue locale ou standard. J'ai enseigné à presque tous les types d'étudiants. Universitaires, diplomates et enfants. J'ai de l'expérience en cours particuliers ou en groupe. Pendant le cours, je préfère utiliser Powerpoint pour aider l'étudiant à sentir que le cours en ligne est suffisamment proche des cours en personne. Dans mon cours, vous apprendrez à comprendre l'arabe en dehors du cours et sans aucune aide de ma part ou d'un Arabe. Généralement, l'apprentissage nécessite deux parties pour être réalisé. Je ne peux donc pas progresser si vous ne m'aidez pas. Das Erlernen einer Fremdsprache wird zu einem der wichtigsten Kommunikationsmittel. Die arabische Sprache wird heutzutage in vielen internationalen Jobs benötigt. Ich habe diesen Kurs so konzipiert, dass er Sie überall erreichen kann, damit Sie mit mir - einer Arabischlehrerin - auch von zu Hause aus Arabisch bei sich zu Hause lernen können. Während des Unterrichts konzentriere ich mich auf Ihren Zweck, Arabisch zu lernen. Egal, ob Sie die Landes- oder Standardsprache lernen möchten. Ich habe fast alle Arten von Schülern unterrichtet. Akademiker, Diplomaten und Kinder. Ich habe Erfahrung im Einzel- oder Gruppenunterricht. Während des Unterrichts ziehe ich es vor, Powerpoint zu verwenden, um dem Schüler das Gefühl zu geben, dass der Online-Unterricht dem Präsenzunterricht nahe genug kommt. In meinem Unterricht lernst du, Arabisch außerhalb des Unterrichts und ohne Hilfe von mir oder einem Araber zu verstehen. Im Allgemeinen erfordert das Lernen zwei Teile, um erreicht zu werden. Ich kann also keine Fortschritte erzielen, wenn Sie mir nicht geholfen haben. Yabancı bir dil öğrenmek, iletişim kurmak için en önemli şeylerden biri haline gelir. Arapça Dili Günümüzde birçok uluslararası işte gereklidir. Bu kursu, nerede olursanız olun size ulaşmak için tasarladım, böylece siz de Arapça öğretmenim olan benimle, benim evimden Arapça öğrenebilirsiniz. Dersler boyunca, Arapça öğrenme amacınıza odaklanıyorum. İster yerel dili, ister standart dili öğrenmek isteyin. Hemen hemen her türden öğrenciye ders verdim. Akademisyenler, diplomatlar ve çocuklar. Birebir veya grup derslerinde tecrübem var. Ders sırasında, öğrencinin çevrimiçi dersin yüz yüze derslere yeterince yakın olduğunu hissetmesine yardımcı olmak için Powerpoint kullanmayı tercih ederim. Benim sınıfımda Arapça'yı ders dışında ve benden ya da herhangi bir Arap'tan yardım almadan anlamayı öğreneceksiniz. Genel olarak, öğrenmenin başarılması için iki bölüme ihtiyacı vardır. Yani bana yardım etmezsen herhangi bir ilerleme kaydedemem. Het leren van een vreemde taal wordt een van de belangrijkste dingen om te communiceren. De Arabische taal is tegenwoordig vereist in veel internationale banen. Ik heb deze cursus ontworpen om je te bereiken waar je ook bent, zodat je Arabisch bij jou thuis kunt leren met mij - een Arabische leraar - ook vanuit mijn huis. Tijdens de lessen concentreer ik me op jouw doel om Arabisch te leren. Of je nu de lokale of standaardtaal wilt leren. Ik gaf les aan bijna alle soorten studenten. Academici, diplomaten en kinderen. Ik heb ervaring met individuele lessen of groepslessen. Tijdens de les gebruik ik bij voorkeur Powerpoint om de student het gevoel te geven dat de online les dicht genoeg bij persoonlijke lessen ligt. In mijn les leer je hoe je Arabisch begrijpt buiten de les en zonder enige hulp van mij of een Arabier. Over het algemeen heeft leren twee delen nodig om bereikt te worden. Dus ik kan geen vooruitgang boeken als je me niet helpt.

Meri
Test-prep tutoring, reading, Finnish Language, homework - Support from Special Education Teacher
I am a qualified Special Education teacher from Finland and I offer test-prep tutoring, help with homework, support for learning disabilities, teaching Finnish language and tutoring in all subjects in the Primary school level. My teaching style is student-centered and encouraging. I tailor each session's content to meet the unique needs of each student and consider their individual learning style. Some students remember things better through visuals, some through listening, and others through hands-on practice. My goal is for each student to genuinely understand the material, enabling them to apply what they've learned in various real-life situations. Simply repeating information without comprehension doesn’t lead to lasting learning. I hope to work with students of all ages and needs. However, I should mention that my strongest expertise in mathematics is limited to the basic school curriculum. Please reach out to me if you're looking for a calm, flexible, warm, and approachable private tutor. Due to my professional background, students who need additional support are more than welcome to contact me. Currently, I only offer online lessons, as my lifestyle is quite mobile.

If you want to learn Arabic from scratch to the level of speaking, reading and writing, I will be of help to you. I can also teach the Holy Quran from scratch to mastery. I use several curricula and combine them to make the benefit greater and to suit each person and their abilities. Everyone who studied with me was happy with me, and thank God the lesson will be enjoyable for the children because I use several methods with them, including coloring, interactive educational games, and others. I also like to be a friend to the student, especially teenagers, because the teenager is in dire need of a person who understands him and guides him on the right path.

Laura
English teacher for foreign and local children, helping with homework, prep for exams or every day life
Learning English is an essential part of life in the world in these times as most international businesses, trade with all parts of the world and to communicate they use English as a neutral language. It is vital that children especially have to know English, how to speak it and how to understand it keeping up with the times ahead of them and as a teacher of English, especially to foreign children, the language is rapidly changing and improving. Even I as a teacher have to learn new things in order for the youth to carry on. In my class, the student will learn the effectiveness of the English language and the importance of it, how to use grammar properly and allow them to learn to use it even if it's just for every day life along with new vocabulary and new skills. I will be able to show them the techniques they can use whether it be for an exam or class work. If I'm teaching a child with special needs, I can teach them how to cope by using English as a foundation and new skills. Fun, laughter, love, empathy, integrity and creativity are all part of my class, to allow for the child to feel safe and relaxed around me and creating a sense of trust. I think all of these are essential, it grabs their attention and it allows for the child to feel safe and comfortable.
