***PLEASE READ TO THE END BEFORE CONTACTING ME*** *WILL HELP YOUR CHILD BUILD A VERY STRONG FOUNDATION IN ARABIC* I am an Egyptian, born in Saudi, and have a degree in Engineering from a British university. I have been teaching for approximately 8 years, and I am currently the director of Al-Awwal Tuition for the teaching of Quran and Arabic. I specialise in teaching children and will (by Allah’s permission) help your child have a very strong foundation in the Arabic language so that they are able to read, write and speak as well as recite the Quran correctly as a native Arabic speaker. I love seeing my students making progress every week, and alhamdulillah some of those I teach are as young as 4, may Allah bless them and their parents. I studied Arabic Literature, poetry, Grammar and Eloquence in Egypt and Saudi Arabia for many years. I tutor students to help them prepare for exams but I also do all other levels from beginner to advanced. TEACHING EXPERINCE : --------------------------- • Worked as a madrasah (Arabic/Islamic school) supervisor for 2 years. • Tutored university students from Westminster University and SOAS. • Helped an Arabic literature student from Oxford University. • Supported GCSE Arabic classes in Paddington Academy. • Have been doing translation work since 2011. • Provided live translation in a number of events and Islamic gatherings. • Tutored a large number of students of all different levels, skills and backgrounds. SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED COURSES IN: ------------------------------------------------- • Teacher Training. • Behaviour Management. • Dyslexia with BDA (King’s College). APPROACH TO TUTORING : ------------------------------- • I usually divide my lesson into two sections, the first is to revise the previous work, and the second is for the new topic. Reading, Listening, Writing & Speaking activities are all covered to guarantee a rapid progress. • New vocabularies are recorded and passed onto the student's parent for home practice and to perfect pronunciation. • Listening to the recordings I send the students is a vital part of the learning process. • I do not move onto the next topic before the students understand the current topic well enough. • Some students, depending on their level, are given story books to practise their reading in their own time. • Please help me to help your child by making sure s/he complete their 5-10minute-a-day homework. • For GCSE students, show me completed homework and I will show you a '7-9' in your final grade In-Sha-Allah.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING : -------------------------------------- • I am DBS (CRB) checked. • I usually test the students every lesson on the previous topic. • All books, worksheets, pens and other stationary need to be prepared before the lessons.
