I was born in Morocco and moved to the U.S. in 1998. I spent almost three years in Iraq as a translator for the U.S. forces. I received a master's degree in French literature from a Moroccan University. My dad was an Arabic instructor for twenty-six years; I learned several effective teaching techniques from him. I am very patient and have taught several of my friends in the U.S. some Arabic basics. If you are willing to put forth some effort I am positive that I can help you reach your language goals. I am looking forward to working with motivated individuals that are willing to take on the challenge of learning this beautiful poetic language that is deeply rooted in a mysterious and classic culture.
