Hello!

My name is Sanaa. I am a literacy tutor specializing in English, History, Writing Skills, and the languages of Arabic (both Modern Standard and Classical), Latin and Greek.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Classics, which involves the study of the roots of the English Language (Latin and Greek) as well as the History of Western Civilization. I also completed a Master's degree in Theological Studies at the George Washington University, which involved writing my first book! Given my language background, I am adept at tutoring students in writing with proper grammar and syntax.

After completing my education, I began teaching in various public and private school settings, including community college and private academies. I am Praxis-certified to teach Secondary Social Studies and have also completed my state's Communication and Literacy Assessment. I have been teaching secondary English Language Arts and Social Studies for a few years at accredited private schools in the DC area.

Arabic

Arabic

I have studied Arabic for a number of years both at university and at accredited institutions in the Middle East. I took courses in Arabic language and Middle Eastern studies while a junior year student at Cambridge University in England. Prior to that, I had completed a summer intensive at a Fulbright-accredited institute in Cairo, Egypt called Al-Diwan Centre. After graduating with a B.A. in Classical Civilization from Wellesley College, I traveled to Qasid Arabic Institute in Amman, Jordan, where I studied for 9 months to complete an Arabic diploma course. Since 2008, I have been tutoring Arabic grammar and morphology to various students from elementary-school aged to graduate and undergraduate level.
Classics

Classics

I majored in Classical Civilization as an undergraduate student at Wellesley College. This involved studying ancient Greek and Roman history, literature and languages. My study included history courses involving the Hellenistic era, Byzantine Empire as well as Islamic history and how Arabic and Muslim scholars kept alive Greco-Roman philosophy preceding the Renaissance.

She was AMAZING!

I was HORRIBLE at Arabic, and not only was she patient but she really helped me understand and become a lot better at speaking, writing and reading in Arabic. I went from a D to an A in my class with her help. She's awesome!

Very knowledgeable

Sanaa is wealth of information! As a student of Arabic, Sanaa brings insights to the language and provides materials to teach at your level. She assisted me with speaking and increasing my vocabulary. Sanaa also helped my wife through her final weeks of a 101 course at our local college. We now are using Arabic in our home with our kids who can understand small command phases such as "It's time for bed, Brush your teeth, come to the table! etc." We will continue to use immersion in our home so that each member of our family will become bilingual. We will definitely seek Sanaa out when we require the services for a tutor again! Thank you Sanaa
