Introduction: Enthusiastic and devoted French and Arabic tutor with excellent communication skills demonstrated by more than 8 years of teaching experience in schools and private tutoring. Fluency in French and Arabic (most dialects). Able to discipline in multiple ways, creativity in teaching lessons and very patient with children. I have taught students with different age groups and with different needs to the use of the language. Hence, I had to tailor each course to the individual's needs, be it adaptability, language skill, age or time available. I feel I have succeeded when I see my student starting to communicate with me and others in their new language.

Knowledgeable and great to work with. My Arabic has improved quite a bit since taking lessons. I would recommend Maila to anyone interested in learning Arabic.

I highly recommend Maila. I'm an Arabic speaker but had a hard time teaching it to my 7-year-old daughter, so I appealed to a professional. Maila stepped in, and with as little as 30 mins a week, my daughter is starting to make real progress. Most importantly, she's motivated and proud of her progress. We plan to continue using Maila's services when we're back from summer recess. Thank you Maila!

I was not a beginner in Arabic, but it had been a few years since I have practice the language. Maila listened to my wants and worked with me at the level I was at to not only review and refresh what I learned but continue to expand my vocab and conversation skills. I highly recommend

Maila is an absolute pleasure to work with. I spent 7 months; weekly lessons with her to learn Arabic. She was thorough, patient and well prepared for the lesson. She is extremely responsive and accommodating to your needs. I truly learned more than I expected. Maila even took the time to learn about me to apply my life situation in the Arabic examples. The lessons are a great value! I recommend Maila to anyone who is looking for a fantastic experience! My hectic schedule got in the way of my studying but I do intend to pick up with her again in the near future; that is how much I enjoyed the experience.

Maila has been an excellent teacher for my teenage daughter. My daughter had several years of Arabic before starting with Maila and she was able to step right in and continue with her studies. She relates very well with my daughter and makes the lessons interesting and fun! I highly recommend Maila!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have taught French to students from age 3 to 70 years old ! so I offer reasonable price, giving that I have 20 years of teaching experience. Possible reduction of fees with more hours with the same student. Each location is always quoted separately depending on the distance and the time required to drive. Also the weekend lessons are quoted separately, Your time for the lessons are very important to me, they are reserved especially for you. I understand that sometimes schedule adjustments are necessary. Therefore, I respectfully request at least one day notice for cancellations or rescheduling of lesson to avoid the full payment of the lesson.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I tailor the lesson content to the student's needs and interest.
