For more information, please continue reading ...

Education:

I am an Arabic linguistics PhD student at the Language and Linguistic Science Department of the University of York, UK. I hold a BA in English literature and linguistics as well as an MA in translation studies. My study makes me familiar with written Arabic and spoken Arabic in its different forms (dialects). This is why I am quite familiar with Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese, Gulf and Sudanese Arabic. In addition, I am also a CELTA-trained teacher and an SSistant Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in the UK.

Tutoring Approach:

My teaching depends on immersing you in enjoyable daily-life situations so that you can easily imitate and, after not too much effort, read, write and speak Arabic/English like a native speaker. Culture cannot be separated from language. So, I also immerse you in the main cultural aspects of Arabic/English-speaking countries in general and offer a brief background to language as reflected in culture. Also, I try to compare Arabic and English (as a language) and the culture represented by it with other languages, including French and German (languages that I am familiar with).

Translation:

I have practised translation and interpretation for 14 years. I am also a certified translator by the Egyptian Translators Association in Egypt. I have also worked with Pearl Linguistics in the UK for 3 years, interpreting in the NHS. I can do any translation task, especially in social sciences, perfectly and can meet deadlines at competitive rates.

Content and Academic Writing:

I have written patches of different types of articles (legal, religious, technological social, psychological, pedagogical, etc.). My academic study has made me familiar with academic writing and I am proud to say that I excel in this type of writing. I am familiar with many style sheets and can help you with your reports, doing the jo exactly as is required. I can do the job perfectly, meet deadlines and at competitive rates.
