Hello, all. My name is Seth, a recent graduate of UT Austin. I studied English Literature and Composition, Arabic, Creative Writing, and I became CELTA certified my senior year. I have a passion for language learning, and I'm excited to be part of your language journey whether that be English or Arabic.

My experience teaching is essentially twofold. First, I taught as a teaching assistant and tutor for my University's prestigious Arabic Flagship Capstone program. Second, I currently serve as a substitute teacher for LISD. I love teaching because I view it as the final stage of mastering a subject, but I also enjoy helping others achieve their own personal language goals on account of my own long and arduous journey studying Arabic.

I studied Arabic at the University of Texas at Austin for six years as an Arabic Flagship Capstone Scholar, a prestigious intensive language-study program that seeks to produce fluent language learners. In addition to the formal register of Arabic that I studied at University, I also did several study abroads in Jordan and Morocco to both continue mastering Fus7a as well as the colloquial registers, so not only can I help you with MSA I can also support you in the Levantine and Moroccan dialect if so desired.

I majored in English Literature and Composition and I also graduated having successfully completed UT's Honors Creative Writing Program. Beyond that, I am also CELTA-certified, so I am familiar with language pedagogy broadly, and I am fully capable of tailoring lesson plans suited to my students' ambitions.

I believe that it is critical for students to be in a constant dialogue with their teachers regarding their personal objectives and motivations in learning a new language, much like the relationship between a coach and their players. Often this is not so feasible in a large classroom environment, but I believe tutor
