Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in English from San Francisco State University, MA in Linguistics
After obtaining my B.A., I was determined to work with languages. In 2003, I joined an acclaimed center in Rabat, Morocco where I was trained to teach Arabic. I taught Modern Standard Arabic and Darija (Moroccan Arabic) to students from different parts of the world.
After moving to California, I continued working as a teacher; I taught Arabic, French, and English as a second language for various institutions, including Berlitz, ABC Languages, and Fresno State University. In 2010, I received my Master's in Linguistics from San Francisco State University.
Teaching Philosophy:
When learning a language, I believe the target language ought to be used as much as possible. While using another language, such as English, may be necessary at first, the language teacher has to minimize its use as learning progresses.
I believe that the most efficient way to learn a language is to focus on conversation. In my classes, I have always prioritized speaking to help the learner overcome the initial feeling of intimidation. Also, different people have different learning styles. As a teacher, I adapt my teaching style to the needs and learning styles of my students. Reviews
