Hello everyone,
My name is Dima.I'm from Gaza, Palestine. I'm a native Arabic speaker and I've studied teaching English language at IUG. I've also been learning Korean for quite some time now. While at university, i worked as a translator and a content writer for 2 years and after graduation, i worked as an ESL teacher at different schools for two years.I have also been teaching Arabic online for 4 years and I've worked with students of different levels, ages and needs .Having worked these jobs, I came to master different areas of my mother language which fully prepared me to take up teaching Arabic and English for non-native speakers.

Me as a Teacher
My teaching will be based on students' needs and preferences which will be supported by my suggestions and ideas. Studying English myself made me think of what the best way to teach a language would be and i came to conclusion that I want to teach others the way i want to be taught, that is to say, to be able to understand every aspect of a language and not only memorize rules and grammar. I'm can teach Modern Standard Arabic for all levels and i'm familiar with the Levantine dialects. I can also teach English for beginners and intermediates.I will focus on all skills and support my teaching with various methods, strategies and materials which can include textbooks, news articles, videos,etc
My lessons & teaching style
I would describe my teaching style as adaptable,interactive and supportive.
I do not really prefer one teaching method because in my opinion, each class is different, so is each lesson, and a good teacher should always adjust their teaching to their students. I try to clearly define the goals with each one; what they want to achieve and what they expect from our cooperation. Then, considering their current level of language skills, and what kind of personality they are, I come up with a clear plan for our classes. And just then do I choose my teaching methods, adjusting them to the plan and the ultimate goal we have with the student.

I count my lucky stars that I found Dima when I was starting out my journey into Arabic. Years later, she's still a great teacher and kind, friendly person and I look forward to our classes.

Time always flies in Dima‘s lessons which are full of new and fascinating details of the language. Her mastery of English is a huge asset in explaining grammar and vocabulary of Arabic.
