About Vera
I have always had a passion for languages and I am fascinated by the beauty of different cultures when explored through our ability to communicate using the languages of the places we visit and the people we meet. In fact, it is my way with languages that led my Arabic, French and English language teachers in school to value my talent and guide me to enhance my abilities and develop mastery. Their influence and the confidence that they equipped me with, guided me through all my studies all the way up to my PhD. Having had such positive and impactful experiences as a student, motivates me to be the teacher that can in turn positively impact my students and inspire them to strive for more. When teaching Arabic, although I teach classic to give my students the ability to read and write and keep progressing at their own pace, I insist on teaching the Lebanese dialect which is understood by all Arabic speakers. Through this, I can immerse my student not only in the language but also in the culture in all its beautiful aspects.

During a typical lesson, I use a variety of materials and these are adapted according to the age, level and interests of the students. If you are looking to pass exams, your learning will be structured focusing on reading, writing, listening and speaking, all in classic Arabic and meeting curriculum requirements. Even when doing that, I still highlight the differences between what the student is learning and the spoken dialect to give them the confidence to use their language skills in social contexts. However, my experience is not limited to exam preparation. I have experience teaching children as young as three and adults as old as 73! When it comes to children, I am a fan of the Montessori philosophy and believe in a child led approach. You'd find me using the sand tray to get the child to trace his letters or playing I spy, or getting them to do activity sheets or letter puzzles or arts and crafts as we retell stories, find items, name colours and shapes... For an adult learner, I could be assigning a segment from the news bulletin for the listening homework or a newspaper article for reading, understanding and translation. Depending on their social needs or professional interests, I've found myself teaching medical and legal Arabic from time to time. Many of my students are interested in learning the Lebanese dialect for social reasons and with this comes more focus on understanding the culture that has endless fascinating aspects that keep you wanting to learn more. Whilst I am happy to focus on speaking when required, I still make sure my students can read and write for them to be able to progress on their own should they want to. Briefly, I believe that students have different learning styles and in a way or another this is what makes what I do exciting and enjoyable. I strongly believe that everyone can learn anything if it is taught in a method that matches their learning style.
