About Me
italki teacher since Dec 30, 2017Interest topicTravelTechReading
I am an Egyptian certified teacher of Arabic as a Foreign Language with more than seven years of teaching experience. I granted the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language from the American University in Cairo (AUC).Me as a Teacher
Since I graduated from the AUC, I have had the chance to teach students from different nationalities, levels, ages, ethnic groups, and cultures. This was helpful to introduce a variety of ideas, and beliefs while teaching the language. Additionally, students were able to explore the language in a meaningful context.
With me, you will learn both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic (ECA). In addition, I offer specialized courses such as media Arabic.My lessons & teaching style
My favorite approach in teaching is the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach in which I teach language in context (vocabulary & grammar). This means that you do not have to memorize lists of vocabulary or grammatical rules. Instead, you will learn them through meaningful contexts. In my lessons, I use authentic materials as much as possible such as movies. During our sessions, we will have role plays to simulate what happens in real-life situations.My teaching material

Lessons with Wael are always a pleasure. Today's class was conversation-based and Wael provided real insight into the Egyptian society. Wael speaks Fusha beautifully and eloquently, on top of being a great teacher.

Wael's Media classes are well-prepared and to the point. We always work with a specific theme/event and look at key-terms to help you understand this specific type of event. Highly recommended.

I had very interesting and nice Arabic - Egyptian Colloquial courses with Wael. He has prepared the class very well and shared with me very useful materials to review after class. He is patient and polite and professional. Many thanks!
