About Me
italki teacher since Feb 5, 2013Interest topicHistoryTravelMusic
I am originally Palestinian, but I grew up in Jordan before moving to the US as a child. I have never lived in Palestine/Israel, and growing up, I have been exposed to a couple of Levantine dialects. As a result, what I speak is mostly Palestinian, but with other Levantine influences.
If you are booking your first tutoring session with me, *please contact me first.* (See the “My Lessons and Teaching Style” section for details.) Otherwise, I will contact you before accepting your lesson request. (If you are a beginner, we will need to discuss my terms before I accept your lesson request.) I only teach adults, and I don’t work with third parties (e.g. parents booking for their children).Me as a Teacher
I am looking for people who are interested in improving their Arabic. My native Arabic dialect is the Palestinian Levantine dialect.
I have a M.A. in Middle Eastern Studies, and a B.A. in German, European Studies, and Italian. While studying, I have tutored and taught Palestinian Arabic. In addition, I also studied MSA in school as well as on a college level, and thus I can offer help with written MSA.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is conversation-focused, with emphasis on vocabulary/grammar. If you are booking your first tutoring session with me, *please contact me first* and include the following information: your Arabic level, whether you’re learning MSA or a dialect, and what your goals are. Otherwise, I will contact you before accepting your lesson request. At the moment, I offer Levantine conversation practice for all levels and written MSA help (but no MSA conversation, and no MSA for beginners). If you are interested in lessons with written homework, please contact me first for rates.

Loved it. Dalia is light on her feet and allows me a lot of leeway to do my thing. But she knows to point out errors and is very gentle about correcting them.
