Arabic

Marhaban (Hello in Arabic): I'm a Native Arabic Speaker, born and raised in Lebanon. I graduated with a Bachelor degree in Law from the Lebanese University and practiced law (Qanoun) over there for 4 years. I have been working as an Arabic Language Instructor/tutor in the Boston area for the past 2 years. Students, especially beginners, enjoy getting acquainted with this new language. Learning to identify the new letters, to write them from right to left, to connect them and make words, and to pronounce them -- Especially the seven letters that are Heavy, so that the mouth is full with its resonance, is the beginning of the fun! I'm a passionate teacher, and would welcome the opportunity to be able to assist and help you succeed with your learning goals -- whether you just want some assistance with your Arabic Homework, or you just want to learn a new language for travel, work, or just as a new academic challenge. Shukran Jazeelan! (Thank You very much!)

Wonderful Tutor!

Chirine is an incredible tutor! As someone with only a beginning understanding of Arabic, Chirine worked with me at my own pace to increase my fluency and understanding of such a complex language. Her lessons were both challenging and rewarding, and I left each session with a feeling of accomplishment. You have the flexibility to select which components (reading, writing, speaking, subject, etc) you want to work on, and Chirine is always available for help. I highly recommend Chirine for any Arabic tutoring and know that my language ability has increased because of her!

Engaging, organized, and enthusiastic

Chirine has been working with my 8-year-old daughter to help her continue to build and practice her French language skills over the summer. It's been an excellent experience for her so far. Chirine has been so engaging, and my daughter was immediately comfortable with her despite being hesitant with using French as an earlier learner. Chirine was super flexible with developing a lesson plan that made sense, and has been prepared and organized for every session. We're really happy to have found her and look forward to continuing to work with her!

Chirine's a fantastic tutor!

I highly recommend Chirine for French or Arabic tutoring! She's very patient and explains grammar and concepts well. She's also quite easy to practice conversing with, and with her help, I improve each week. She genuinely cares about my progress, and I look forward to our lessons. Cannot recommend her enough!

Great French Tutor!

I'm so happy I found Chirine on WyzAnt. She has been great with my lovely, and sometimes challenging, 4 1/2 yr. old twin boys. They have a lot of energy and it can be difficult having them sit still for an hour of French lessons, but Chirine does a great job working with them. She knows how to present the material to them, and bring their attention back to the lesson when they lose their focus. They have learned a lot from Chirine and she really knows how to work with kids. I highly recommend her!

Wonderful teacher!

Chirine is a really patient teacher and becoming a friend, too! I had very minor exposure to the Arabic alphabet before we met, and in my first class she took me through it all again in a very encouraging and positive manner. I feel confident learning from her, as Arabic is her first language. She takes you through the classes at your own pace - if you want to self-study, she'll meet you where you are at the next class and help you to excel at your pace. If you prefer to keep the Arabic learning to her classes, she will take you through it more slowly. Chirine is very personable, and through our classes we have become friends. It is very helpful to get along well with your teacher; makes the learning experience all that more enjoyable!

Great tutor, and easy to reach by phone or email.

Chirine is just amazing and a really helpful teacher. She made me feel comfortable from the first class I had. She answers all my questions and I'm learning a lot from her. I would recommend her to everyone who is looking for a good and fun teacher.

Amazing person!

Chirine is a very nice and sweet person with a good sense of humor. I had just begun Arabic lessons with her and in no time I could see the best results. Her lessons are enjoyable and fun, but at the same time effective. I would definitely recommend her to someone who's looking to learn Arabic in an easy going and efficient way. Amazing person!

Defne, 3 lessons with Chirine

Patient tutor -- smart, with good sense of humor.

Chirine loves Arabic. Really loves Arabic. And that shines through her tutoring. She's patient with my slow reading, answering my grammatical questions systematically and with humor. She's a find.
