NICE TO MEET YOU!

Get to know Hanan

Hello! My name is Hanan

And I'm an experienced Arabic teacher from the bustling city of Amman, Jordan.

Being an experienced Arabic teacher from the lively city of Amman, Jordan, and the proud mother of Shams, my beautiful daughter whose name means sun in Arabic, my recent move to the USA brings forth a new chapter filled with exciting opportunities.

Throughout the past 8 years, my dedication has been to teach both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Ammiyah to students from diverse backgrounds worldwide. With a background in French literature and a fervor for cross-cultural exploration, my teaching approach is carefully crafted to meet the unique needs and interests of each student.

Teaching is not just a profession for me; it’s an ongoing learning journey. Every student I encounter contributes valuable insights, shaping my growth as an educator. My pride lies in witnessing their progress and accomplishments, maintaining a patient and open mindset throughout.

For MSA, I rely on the Al-Kitaab series, a comprehensive set of textbooks published by Georgetown University Press, as a foundational resource. Simultaneously, for Ammiyah, I’ve developed a personalized curriculum reflecting the language as authentically spoken in everyday life.

Beyond the classroom, Arabic is not only a beautiful and intricate language but also a gateway to a diverse and rich culture. In my lessons, I seamlessly integrate cultural classes and games, transforming the learning experience into one that is not only informative but also enjoyable and immersive. Whether you’re starting from scratch or aiming to enhance your conversational skills, I’m here to accompany you on this exciting linguistic and cultural journey.

My mission is to help you achieve your Arabic goals and become a confident and fluent speaker. So why not take the first step and join me in this exciting adventure?
